This Week's Tips For Travellers
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The opening
Orient Express's eagerly awaited Casitas del Colca ( www.lascasitasdelcolca.com) opens in Peru this week, a luxury Andean retreat with 20 stone 'casitas'. The spa (opens May) offers indigenous treatments and Colca Canyon views.
The kit
As festival season approaches, check out the new floral design quick-pitch tents from Firebox ( www.firebox.com). Lightweight, with a clever release mechanism that means no finger pinching, these tents may be rugged but have clear girly appeal.
The festival
This year's Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival (18-20 April) asks of the medium: is it art? Forty cartoonists aim to answer this question with creative results to be auctioned at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery ( www.shrewsburycartoonfestival.com).
The guide
Peak District Pub Walks ( www.camra.org.uk) is a new pocket-sized guide to the peaks' paths and pubs. Along with 25 walks on colour OS maps, the guide highlights cycle rides, the region's rich industrial heritage and the best places for real-ale refreshment.
