CAREFREE MOMENTS / HOLIDAY VIBES
Our first three stops in Colombia definitely lived up to the raving reviews that had been passed on from fellow travellers. The vibes are chilled, the landscapes diverse and the prices economical. MEDELLÍN / A city with a painful past and a past that is so very recent. The Casa de la Memoria Musuem was […]
A twenty-five-day road trip beginning in Santiago, Chile and ending in Punta Arenas, Chile. Almost five thousand kilometres, countless hours of paved and unpaved roads, hundreds of millimetres of rain, strong Patagonian wind gusts, beaming sunshine, stunning sunsets, foggy skies and even a dusting of snow. We really did get it ALL! The contrast in […]
An archipelago that lies one thousand kilometres west of Ecuador, where four major ocean currents unite with a vast fault plane of undersea volcanoes, which break the Pacific Ocean. This is a surreal world, the world of Galápagos. The Galápagos are natural history. Visitors go for the spectacle and the grandeur of the exotic and […]
TAYRONA NATIONAL PARK / Santa Marta is a great springboard to access Tayrona National Park, a stretch of coastline offering exquisite beaches to take a dip, palm trees to shade under, boulders to climb and hammocks to sleep in. About a 90-120 minute walk and you find the camping ground Cabo San Juan where you […]
After six months of travel it felt like the perfect time to compose an album with some of our favourite snaps. We have thousands of photos so it was a tricky task. Memories that we will never forget; from the stunning beaches of Brazil to the pristine scenery of Patagonia, the craziness of the Uyuni […]
BAÑOS / about 7 hours inland from Guayaquil you will find the adventure capital of Ecuador. Home to Volcán Tungurahua and amazing tropical scenery, Baños is a definite stop to make when travelling north. As we had a flight booked to the Galápagos Islands, we could only afford to stay two nights. However, we spoke […]
Around 400km from the capital of Peru, is Huaraz. We arrived early in the morning on an overnight bus from Lima, taking around 9 hours. At an impressive 3052m above sea level, the temperature dropped a few degrees and the scenery transformed from coastline to a stunning mountain range. Home to Peru’s highest mountain, it’s […]
ELQUI VALLEY / Just a one and a half hour bus ride from the coastal town of La Serena you will find the open, pristine skies of Elqui Valley. Quiet, relaxing and filled with pisco, Elqui Valley really is a place to stop by for a night or two when heading north in Chile. We […]
Entering the city of La Paz is an unbelievable view! Diving down into the city from El Alto into the hustle and bustle of taxis and micros, you will most definitely feel alive. A lot of tourists arrive in La Paz to complete the famous ‘Death Road’ and we were no different. Choosing to take […]
CUSCO / Our first stop in Peru did not disappoint. Cusco, the Inca capital delivered charm, history, cleanliness and delicious food. Crossing the border from Bolivia, we curved around Lake Titikaka and the Andes on an overnight bus. First stop was Jacks Cafe, an Aussie owned cafe and the breakfast did not disappoint. Huge portions […]
