South America Travel Blogs

I guess this entry might be the last entry of my endless blog. This blog became much longer than expected, which made me really happy since it means I met several people here in Peru or anywhere else. I wish, I'd never end this blog, but I have to accept its difficult to go through all the entrie…

It was almost 9pm when we arrived home. We just parked when the door opened. It was mom. We have telepathy, hahaha. After hugs and kisses I came inside and was amazed that Gunther didn't come to the door barking. "Mmm, where is he, mom?" Mom told me he was at the backyard. Nobody had time to take h…

It was a regular Tuesday, well except from the fact that mom wasn't at home... but I'm already getting used to it. Anyway, I remember she told me she's be back in a few days, so I'll be brave. It was noonish and it was a bit warm and sunny, so I was just being lazy and laying on the backyard aka my…

This would be the last entry of this blog, why? Well, the 25th is my TB Anniversary and I'll start a new Meet Up blog... I wasn't sure if something would be going on before the anniversary but it did and was fun! A while a go I noticed Lubor was coming to Peru. I posted a comment and then we starte…

Today is the last day of a great roundtrip Peru!   The boat took us in less than two hours (down stream!) to Tambopata River Port. A bus took us to the travel agency in Puerto Maldonado to recollect our suitcases.   Next was the LAN Peru flight from Puerto Maldonado to Lima (with a sh…

Walking and taking some shots around downtown, you'll see around several 16th and 17th century buildings, among other attractions: - Plaza de Armas- The Cathedral- The Presidential Palace (Former Francisco Pizarro's House)- San Francisco de Asis Church & Convent- The City Hall- Plaza San Martin…

DAY 11(THE SADDEST DAY OF THE TRIP) When we arrived in Guayaquil and some of the passenger’s vacation was not finished. About 6, was dropped off to catch a plane to Lima, Peru and some to Santiago, Chile.  We all clapped and wish them save travels.   We all arrived at 5…

It was the third day of the civil unrest, and my fifth day in La Paz. In an attempt to force the Bolivian government to improve life for the Bolivians, farmers and students had organised a series of protests. By blockading all major roads in the country they literally brought the entire country to …

  After returning from the Ecuadorian coast for New Year’s celebration, things on the farm became busy.  I received 6000 chicks on January 5th!   It has been a busy and stressful time since then.  I’ve had more problems with workers than with anythin…

Finally today was the day... I bought this ticket almost 2 months ago, hahaha. I'd be away just for 5-6 days, furthermore I was going to a warm place, so my luggage wouldn't be big. Also I didn't want to check in any bag. I was always thinking about buying a medium back pack and this was the p…

Waking up today without having to meet TB's felt so strange... I missed all my friends. These past few days have been incredibly fun because of you my friends!!!I feel so happy that TB's and non TB's from different countries and even continents could meet in Lima. We all rocked. Everywhere we went,…

Lima also has an old colonial center. It has, as every South American city does, a Plaza de Armas, in other words the main square. Lima’s plaza de armas is a quite attractive one, with a big cathedral, the presidential palace and old yellow colonial buildings. The cathedral also houses the gr…

Lima is the capital of Peru, but also a capital of scam and we, but of course, were on the receiving end of a well-practiced sting one evening in the touristy Miraflores district. Whilst searching for a restaurant serving some different cuisine (i.e. one offering anyth…

I'm a trusty person and never pay much attention about the emails talking about the dangers in the streets, but this time I started to think about it and I don't know why. Well, usually when a taxi waits for me, they have a shield with my name on it, but this time the guy had just a piece of paper.…

To travel and know Uyuni and their surroundings is just to differentiate between two points, first the trip to Uyuni in this case from La Paz and second the tour to know Uyuni and the surrounding area, mainly the Salt Flat, The Geysers, Red Lagoon and Green Lagoon. First to get to Uyuni from La P…
