Let me start by saying that we came to Medellin by accident. Because our Galapagos trip turned out a little differently as planned we couldn’t fly to Bogota. So we flew to Medellin instead. What do we know about Medellin? That it used to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world and … More Medellin – enjoying the simple things
Finally we arrived to the seaside (ok, with the little break in the Galapagos), where the sea is warm enough to take a dip, palm trees swaying in the wind and the temperatures are above 250C. Our Colombian friend suggested St. Marta as a good destination after the long cold weeks travelling through South America. … More Tayrona national park and Santa Marta
As huge marine life fans we wanted to do snorkelling. We decided for Pinzon island and booked it with Galapagos Expediciones. We decided for them because Fabricio, the one who sold us the tour was also the guide for the next day, and because he’s doing this every day, he knows exactly where to find … More Pinzon island
Everyone was talking about how beautiful Isabela island is. We were limited with time, so we decided for a day trip. First you have to survive the bumpy ride there; approximately 2 hours of big waves. Almost half of the passengers were throwing up but mainly those who sat inside the cabin. If you sit … More Day tour to Isabela island from Santa Cruz
Giant tortoises, iguanas, pelicans, sea lions, colourful crabs. These are just some of the animals that can be admired on land. But when you put snorkelling goggles on, even more unique animals are waiting. Visiting the Galapagos islands was one of our biggest wishes. And it came true. 🙂 We hoped to go on a … More Visiting Galapagos islands on a budget
Huanchaco wasn’t in any of our plans, but after bumping into Slovenians in Machu Picchu we hoped to meet them again (for a beer or two 🙂 ). Meeting in Lima wasn’t possible so we decided to modify our plan. And it was a good decision. Together we went to Chan Chan. This is an … More Huanchaco – the birthplace of surfing
Do you like penguins, sea lions, pelicans and other birds? Or maybe you don’t know, you like them – yet, like we didn´t. Anyway, all these animals can be seen on Ballestas islands in the middle of the Peruvian Pacific coast. We drove with a boat to the first island, where you can only see … More The poor man’s Galapagos – Paracas
We had the first opportunity for sandboarding in Atacama Desert, but we decided to go stargazing. This time we didn’t want to miss it. And it was cheaper than in Atacama – we paid 35 SOL fort the whole trip (buggy, sandboarding, sunset in the desert), which was really fun and in our opinion one … More Sandboarding in Huachacina
These lines are still a mystery. Scientists refer to them as geoglyphs made by the Nazca people around 500 BCE and 500 CE. But why are they here? We drove directly to the airport, because you can get the best prices directly at the airline. There are around 7–8 different airlines operating flights over the … More Flying over the Nazca lines
We divided our visit to Machu Picchu into two articles because we didn’t want to spoil the article about Machu Picchu with the problems we had with our tour. Machu Picchu is on the list of 7 wonders of the world. Well deserved if you ask me. Looking at the list (Colloseum, Taj Mahal, Christ … More Mystical Machu Picchu
