...hike to the waterfall is part of a trip that began by rugged and fat- tired mountain bicycle in a forest of tiny trees and giant plants at 11,300 ft. on the very rim of the Amazon basin and will continue by white-water raft, motorized canoe and dugout canoe into the swampy lowlands.

The sumptuous fairy-tale illusion, as well as almost all Petipa's choreography, has been retained. But The Sleeping Beauty is usually a dozy night at the ballet -- a prologue and three acts with three intermissions. Peter Martins' $2.8 million version, unveiled at New York City Ballet in the past two weeks, is in two acts, with several smart cuts and breathtakingly fast transitions between...
