Mancora: Peru’s ultimate chillout spot

While Peru has thousands of miles of coastline, it is not normally known as a beach destination. Why? Because the cooling Humboldt current makes its waters surprisingly chilly and brings a persistent fog known as La Garua.


The exception? The tiny Northern corner beyond the current, crowned by Mancora that enjoys constant sunshine and warm bath-like waters. Throw in surf, amazing nightlife and whale watching, you are onto a winner that stacks up against the best of Colombia’s Caribbean coast....

Huaraz by Altitude | Guide From City Sights to Epic Treks

You’ve definitely seen the mountains of Huaraz before — even if you don’t realise it. Mount Artesonraju is actually what the iconic logo of Paramount Pictures is based on, so you’ve surely seen it countless times… but the real thing is even more dramatic. The jagged crests of the mountains surrounding this hiking Mecca easily deserve similar worldwide fame.


The beauty of visiting Huaraz is that you can see such sublime beauty as glaciers, soaring 6000m peaks and glittering azure lakes as day...

On the back of a giddy 32% increase in the last month, is the best still to come for the Meta share price? I am inclined to say yes.

What’s going on with Tesla stock?

The content of this article was relevant at the time of publishing. Circumstances change continuously and caution should therefore be exercised when relying upon any content contained within this article.

Here’s why I believe Tesla stock turmoil isn’t just co-founder Elon Musk’s fault, and why it isn’t as dire as it first seems.

To say that 2022 was a rough year for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is something of an understatement. In fact, it was its worst on record and has got some commentators announci

What Is Tom Tugendhat's Net Worth In 2022?

MP Tom Tugendhat is aiming to succeed Boris Johnson as the leader of the Conservative party and Prime Minister of the UK.

Having never held a cabinet position, and widely regarded as an outside ticket, it is not likely he will succeed in his bid, but nevertheless, we will hear increasingly more from the former lieutenant colonel in the coming weeks.

The MP for Tonbridge and Malling’s star had been rising slowly but surely as he first took office in 2015.

He has chaired the Foreign Affairs Com

What is Love? Philosopher Simon May explains

I came across May's book Love: A History, quite by chance in a charity book shop. I was Immediately intrigued by why a history was even necessary – surely there is nothing more universal and natural than love? The pages of May's Book, laden with millennia of Western philosophy suggest otherwise. It is an ever-shifting phenomenon that has been understood very differently by each age. The musings of modern luminaries like Cardi B are only the latest iteration in a line that goes back to the Hebrew

Nathan Law: “we’re not entitled to lose hope”

In the seventh century BC, Thrasybulus, the brutal tyrant of Miletus was asked how he managed to maintain his throne. He responded by taking the man on a walk through a field of wheat, stopping to scythe down the tallest and best plants. The message conveyed was that the tyrant pre-empted challenges to power by removing those outstanding individuals powerful or brave enough to threaten him. This ancient parable told in the oldest work of history is just as relevant to despots today as in antiqui

Dr Philip Rushbrook: joining the real world

When Napoleon first beheld the island of St Helena, the site of his second and final exile, it is said that the emperor contemplated it in dread silence. This has defined its place in our imaginations since; the rocky prison where Bonaparte spent the remainder of his life, shivering and slowly succumbing to illness. This dot of Britain lost in the blue immensity of the South Atlantic between Angola and Brazil has been inhabited by thousands for more than two hundred years since. I spoke with Dr

Edith Hall: “if you can’t be a proper moral agent, then you’re never going to be truly happy”

Edith Hall is one of our greatest experts on the vanished universe of Aristotle and Aristophanes, author of 30 plus books, and frequent television and radio contributor. Yet she still lives very firmly in our own world, as she campaigns tirelessly for a just Classics bereft of the classism that has long plagued the discipline. Profile initially spoke to Edith about her bestselling book, Aristotle's Way. It was mesmeric to hear Aristotelian wisdom freed from dusty, leather-bound volumes to be so

Travels with Long Covid: an itinerary in books

In June, having unfortunately succumbed to ;long Covid', my summer took on a shape I did not imagine after I had finished my third year. However, my itinerary has been no less exciting than I first imagined, and actually involved much more travelling. When you read, the concerns of your body dissipate as your mind contemplates the contents of the pages. It is an exercise that requires only rational faculties, which mercifully survived the onslaughts of the virus. Reading enabled me to escape my
