Overland trip from Caracas to Ushuaia and up to Lima. Including a jungle trek, Carnaval in Rio, riding with gauchos in Uruguay and trekking the Paine Circuit.

Aangezien ik op 24 september vanuit Santiago De Chile mijn vlucht naar ´t Paasei-land had, moest ik vanuit Buenos Aires onmiddellijk naar Santiago gaan. Veel heb ik daar in die ene middag niet gedaan. Maar hierbij vind je wat foto´s die ik nam tijdens de busrit. Het was (alweer eens) adembenemend…

Sleepy Uspallata doesn´t wake up before 10am but managed to find a cafe for breakfast and my normal ham and cheese toasties (which are starting to get boring).  The bus office opened at 10.05 giving me exactly 3 minutes to sort out my ticket over the border to Santiago and the capital of Chil…

The second week for our group went to Santiago de Chile. I spent one semester of my undergraduate term in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. I now have one Santiago left -- Santiago de Cuba. Probably have to wait until Castro dies or my savings to recover before I go; we'll see which one happens first.…

Our last full day in Chile and South America was a bit more cultured than most. We began by visiting the cathedral in the city centre. Very grand, we did our best to take some photos in the dim light without a flash, and looked at some of the awesome statues and paintings in the massive building.We…

My fiancé and I are taking 10 months out to see the world. We are travelling to 27 countries in four continents and are loving it! We're taking turns writing our blog, so one day it'll be me, then one day Fab.

Today is my last day in Chile and I fly home tonight.   We had a very nice dinner at a place called Nolita last night and then went and met some of their friends.  Just getting ready to pack and then can enjoy my day :)

After Torres del Paine Rebecca and I went back to vina to rest for a few days. Rebecca is heading out on a tour on Saturday so she decided to return to Santiago before me to meet her uni mates. I didnt plan to return to Santiago but changed my mind after a few days resting. The girls were all sta…

This is the first day of my 24-day holiday to Patagonia. This hiking tour is organised by a Dutch travel organisation, SNP. I will travel in a group with 4 other women, and 10 man (including the tour leader). We (my parents, my grandmother and myself) leave our house early, to prevent that we wil…

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

In many ways, Santiago very much resembles Los Angeles. It is a sprawling modern metropolis spreading out to fill the valley floor defined by the surounding mountains and covered in a thick blanket of smog. The smog is so thick in places that it almost obscures the snow covered mountains of the And…

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.
