Hello All,Yesterday afternoon was very nice. The weather in Lima was perfect, all the way up to 80 with light clouds. I checked out of the hotel around noon, and took a taxi to the center of the city.The taxi cost about $2.50, and was hampered by some pretty fierce traffic the closer we got to do…

Valle Nevado

Last December and January a true dream came true, I set of for Chili and Argentina mainly to see one of the most deserted, purest and beautiful places in the world: Patagonia. Sometimes its beauty was so overwhelming that I simply forgot to take pictures...

We started our 3 weeks trip with a 27 hour bus trip from Santiago to Arica. From there, we took a private tour to the National Park Lauca & N.P de la Vicuna's, down to Iquique. After visiting the port of Antofagasta, we headed for San Pedro de Atacama and visited the famous Valle de la Luna and Tatio Geysers. In our last week we headed back via La Serena to Santiago.

As for me Latin America is one of the most fascinating regions in the world, it was just a question of time when my wandering shoes would bring me there. What should I say? The trip was all this: amazing, a bit stressful, unforgettable, exiting, fascinating, genuine...all in one?...just great.

We arrived in San Pedro yesterday, it has been so hot here but I guess that is owing to the fat we are in the desert! San Pedro de Atacama is a really nice wee adobe town, people are quite friendly (although we have run into the rudiest people ever here aswell) and all we really wish is that our h…

a map and some photos of my slightly unplanned trip around the world. The map outlines the general route I took, not counting the backtracking and double visits. Currently I am scanning some photos of this trip, but be patient, there are a lot of them! Argentina - Chile - Easter Island - French Polynesia - New Zealand - Australia - Bali - Hong Kong - Macau - Singapore

On the final day we woke up at about 5am and set off for the last leg of the trip.  It was FREEZING!!!  My hands and feet were like ice blocks and Juan reported it to be about 2 degrees fahrenheit.  We stopped at two natural geysers.  I was brave enough to get out to see the fir…

Things are winding down in our trip around Latin America!! We've made it back to Santiago just in time to take our flight to New Zealand!! Well that's what we thought anyways!! Silly us, we were thinking we would just stroll up to the ticket counter and purchase our plane tickets just like that! N…
