  • The first lagoon

    May 12, 2024 in Bolivia ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

    The first of the many lagoons We passed on the way. The white isn't salt but different minerals which the flamingo needs in order to survive

  • The red lagoon

    May 12, 2024 in Bolivia ⋅ 🌬 8 °C

    The biggest and most beautiful of the lagoons i visited. It houses an incredible amount of flamingo and a few other animals.

    The water is in several different colours due to the minerals in it.

    While we were there, there were winds which got to 55 km/h. It made the whole experience a bit worse but the waves on the water were amazing.

  • Salva

    May 20–22, 2024 in Bolivia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    A three day "survival" in the salva, the Bolivian amazonas.

    I took a boat from the nearby village of Rurrenabaque to a small lodge where I met my group.

    From there we sailed for three hours deep into the amazonas and walked for an hour more with our muchilas until we got to our camp.

    As it was in disrepair we searched the forest for materials to fix it while our guide made dinner.

    We also made a fan from a local plant and juiced sugar canes for a sweet drink.

  • Pampas

    May 23–25, 2024 in Bolivia ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    A trip to the pampas, the swamps of Bolivia. So many monkeys, alligators, caymans and herons.

    We lived in a lodge for three days. During the days we sailed the river and searched the swamp for animals.

    We also fished piranhas for dinner, nothing to write home about.

    All in all a great contrast to the salva

  • Puno and the floating islands

    May 27, 2024 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 5 °C

    My first stop in Peru - lake titikaka, the uros people and the island of taquile.

    The uro has lived for the last 700 years on man-made islands made of reeds, they take around two years to build, and have to be changed every twenty. Nowadays it is extremely touristy but still fascinating.

    As for the people of Taquile, they also have unique traditions which mainly involve using different articles of clothing to represent statues. Such as different beanies for being single or married, or only three pompons on your shawl if you are in a relationship but not married. Interesting people.

    Puno itself is quite the bore.
