Explora un mundo espiritual de siglos de antigüedad visitando el Monasterio Caldarusani, situado cerca de Bucarest (Rumanía). Sentado en una península a orillas del lago que lleva el mismo nombre, está ubicado en un idílico oasis de espiritualidad. En este recorrido de cuatro horas y media, disfrutarás de toda la historia que encierra el monasterio y de su peculiar belleza.
Tu día empezará con un recorrido lleno de preciosas vistas panorámicas de camino a tu destino. Al aproximarte al Monasterio Caldarusani, entenderás por qué Matei Basarab, príncipe de Valaquia, eligió esta estratégica ubicación en torno a 1637-1638. En el momento de su fundación, toda la zona estaba cubierta por un denso bosque, ideal para garantizar la privacidad. Antes de la construcción del monasterio, había una pequeña estructura de madera, con tan sólo nueve monjes. La iglesia que sustituyó a ese primer monasterio cuenta hoy con una importante colección de iconos y objetos religiosos del siglo XVIII, junto con una biblioteca que contiene manuscritos muy valiosos escritos por los propios monjes. Disfruta de una visita al museo que alberga los objetos más valiosos, incluidos diez iconos pintados por el famoso pintor rumano Nicolae Grigorescu. Podrás hablar con los monjes y conocer de primera mano su vida cotidiana. Antes de emprender el camino de vuelta, disfrutarás de un almuerzo tradicional en el recinto, preparado y servido por los propios monjes.
Tras esta visita al histórico Monasterio Caldarusani, te sentirás en paz y tranquilidad.

Pistol shooting is a shooting sport where the competitors are trying to unite the three principles of precision, power and speed, by using a firearm of a certain minimum power (caliber) to score as many points as possible during the shortest amount of time (or sometimes within a set maximum time).
Pistol shooting is a modern martial art that focuses on the use of the handgun as a defensive weapon for self defence, or for military and police use. Like most martial arts, combat pistol shooting is practiced both for defence and for sport.
Pistol shooting and handgun shooting were developed as techniques for the police force. The most common types of pistol are the single shot, and semi-automatic. Instinct shooting requires the same eye, hand, and mind events as throwing a baseball or darts.
The shooter must devote full attention on the smallest part of the target whilst drawing the weapon to fire. Once the weapon is at the ready, the shooter must fire immediately, to avoid losing the intense focus and missing the target.
This technique is most often practiced with a moving target, such as clay birds or shooting plates. The practical use of this drill is for life or death situations, in which the gun handler must instinctively and accurately shoot the target.
The shooter must almost simultaneously: see the target, decide to shoot, start moving the gun to position, focus on a small part of the target, pull the trigger the instant the weapon reaches position.
The shooting is either on sunny, rainy or snowy weather.

Depart from your hotel and begin your extended panoramic tour of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Once called the “Paris of the Balkans”, Bucharest is a fascinating city with countless contrasts which can be observed at every step. Its compelling history is reflected in the beautiful architecture of the oldest part of the city, but also in the Communist-built apartment buildings. Its wide boulevards and large squares, its monuments and museums, its parks and shopping centers are definitely worth a look.
You will visit the Patriarchal Church, and also do three photo-stops, which will provide you with the opportunity to see the greatest expression of Ceausescu’s megalomania - People’s Palace, the Revolution Square - that put a stop to it, and the Military Academy. You will also travel to the Village Museum, one of the best open-air museums in Europe, for a wonderful guided inside visit. After your incursion into the rural aspects of Romanian life, you will return to the hotel in time for lunch.
Itinerary outline: Magheru Blvd. - University Square - Romana Square - Victory Square - Aviatorilor Blvd - Charles de Gaulle Square - Arch of Triumph - Kiseleff Blvd. - Village Museum - Free Press Square - Kiseleff Blvd. - Victory Square - Victory Road - Revolution Square (photo-stop) - Elisabeta Blvd. - Cotroceni Palace - Military Academy (photo-stop) - Splaiul Independentei - Constitution Square - Palace of the People (photo-stop) - Unirii Square - Magheru Blvd.
Discover Bucharest’s streets through the eyes of those that know them best: the people who live on them! Get to know the city in a whole different light whilst getting a raw yet real insight into the lives of others.
HIGHLIGHTS:
* Take in the city’s history while supporting an employment program for homeless, ex-homeless and vulnerably housed locals
* Learn the secrets of how homeless locals have learned to cope on the streets and gain insight into their daily lives
* Support a local NGO that secures training and employment for Romanians living on the streets
Start off in front of the National Theatre, a well sought out spot which opened back in 1852 and has shown an array of famous plays such as Macbeth, The Dinner Game and All My Sons. This area has been home to homeless kids for the last 25 years, sleeping on park benches, in the sewers or in the underground stations. Your guide will be more than willing shed light on the locals as you roam around the neighbourhood.
This Bucharest tour is run in partnership with the Parada Foundation which is a Romanian NGO and member of the Federation of Child Protection NGOs. The foundation supports homeless children, young people and families through its social and educational services. All of the guides have found their position through this collaboration with the foundation as a means to secure a regular income. They will paint a true and accurate picture of homeless life and demonstrate the skills they’ve built up in the field of tourism, whilst taking you along to Bucharest’s best attractions in an unusual yet unique way.
We’ll stroll past the University Passage as we head on over to the Russian Church and the National Bank of Romania. We’ll get to set our eyes on University Square, which back in the 15th century marked the spot of the northern limit of the city. In 1990 a prolific protest led by students and targeted at the government took place there.
After all of this gallivanting you’ll probably need to take 5. After we’ve made our way across the Old Town we’ll grab a coffee. We will move on to Unirii Square, where you’ll hear more terrific tales, such as the one about the private underground line that Ceau?escu wanted to build in case he ever needed to escape the wrath of the people.
