Easter Island - Hanga Roa
10. november 2016, Chile ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Easter Island (or also known as "Rapa Nui" or "Isla de Pascua") is a chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle. It is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world. There is only one town called "Hanga Roa" with a population of 5800 inhabitants.

Close to the town we already discoverd the first stone heads called "Moai". A typical Rapa-Nui-Show with ancient dances and dresses was that awesome, that Chrigi couldn't resist to hit the stage! ☺️💃🏼Les mer

13. november 2016, Chile ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Anakena is a white coral sand beach in de northern part of the island. It is unusual for Easter Island in that it is one of only two small sandy beaches in an otherwise rocky coastline.

To cross the island to go there you can either book a tour or rent a car as we did. Beeing able to discover the island on our own felt very comfortable. We visited Anakena almost every day to relax and to go for a swim at the beach. 🏖Les mer

Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues called "Moai". The average height of the "Moai" is about 4m high with a usual weight of around 12.5 tonnes each.

Tongaraki is the largest stone plattform "Ahu" on Easter Island with 15 "Moai" standing in one line facing inland. After a tsunami swept them inland, the platform has been restored, including an 86 tonne "Moai" that was the haviest ever erected on the island.Les mer

Easter Island - Volcan Rano Kao
15. november 2016, Chile ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Easter Island is not only about "Maoi". "Rano Kao" is a extinct volcano with a crater lake.

After hiring a car for two days to discover the island, we decided to spend one day hiking. So we climbed up the volcano instead of taking a vehicle. The view from the edge of the crater shows a gap on the crater wall with an amazing view to the Pacific Ocean. It was definitely worth to climb!

The last two days of our "holidays of holidays" on this beautiful island with its "hang-lose"-atmosphere we rented a motocycle. We visited some of our favorit places again and went to the beach before our flight took us back to Santiago de Chile for a stopover. Next destination: Buenos Aires! :-)Les mer

Buenos Aires Downtown - Argentina
16. november 2016, Argentina ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
The capital city of Argentina is, with a population of 13 million people, huge. We kind of felt in love with the way of living here. Maybe because it was very western and safe in the centre and it had a lot of great restaurants, bars and cafes. From the rooftop of our hotel we could spot the iconic "Obelisco de Buenos Aires" which is located at the intersection of two of the citys most important streets.

The pink government building "Casa Rosada" made the "Plaza de Mayo" to a sight for sore eyes. ;-) Close to this place we found some funny comic sculptures and made a competition out of it to find all of them - and we did!Les mer

Buenos Aires - Puerto Madero
17. november 2016, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Puerto Madero was originally a port but the increasing use of larger ships quickly redendered it obsolete. So today it is a nice river sight along the "Rio de la Plata" with a lot of good restaurants, clubs and bars. The skyscrapers were looking amazing at sunset.

In the evening we went in a high-society-restaurant to see a tango show in combination with dinner. With sneakers, jumper, cap and print t-shirts we were definitely the most underdressed guests amongst ladies in high-heels & golden glittery dresses and men in black suites and leather shoes. But the show was great and the fact that we were by mistake treated as VIPs, because we got the wrong but better seats, was worth the staring of the other guests. 😉Les mer

The district "La Boca" is famous for two attractions: "Caminato", a street full of colorful buildings and a lot of street artists and the football stadium "La Bombonera" that belongs to the world famous "Boca Juniors". In addition, it is the place where the first Tango in Argentina has been danced. We spent a whole afternoon there, having some beers and wandering between cafés and lots of stalls with self-made art.Les mer

In the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires are two famous spots to see:
- "Floralis Genérica" is a 20 metre high and 18 tonne moving sculpture of a flower. The flowers aluminium petals open and close by sunrise and sunset.
- The "Recoleta Cemetery" became the citys main cemetery after wealthy families began moving to this part of the city. The remains of many noteworthy people rest on the site, including former presidents, writers, nobel prize winners, sportsmen and businessmen. One of the most visitet tombs is that of Eva Perón, more known as "Evita". We were astonished about this extravagant and labyrinthine cemetery!Les mer

Buenos Aires - Tigre
20. november 2016, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
On our last day in Buenos Aires we booked a half-day-tour to Tigre. It's a town that lies on a delta. Driving in a boat in the channels was very nice. But that was it with our tour. When our tour was finished at 12 o'clock we decided to stay on our own to see some more of this nice place. Our tour guide (not happy at all about our decision) just wished us 'good luck' and left us behind. But the strange feeling when we went on and where left behind was definitely worth it! River channels, lovely parks and markets are typical and were giving a very relaxt atmosphere. And as we could "barely" recognise amongst all the indigenous people, it is the place where all the people from Buenos Aires calm down at the weekends - it was very crowded. A traditional "Mate Tea" with a straw made of steel, which is famous for Argentina and other countries in South America, couldn't be missed out in this place.

The four days and five nights in Buenos Aires were short and will be in good memories. Even though, we saw quite a lot! But now it is allready time to leave Argentina and go on the catch a ferry to Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay. But we will be back soon in Argentina, when we visit the Iguazu waterfalls.Les mer

Colonia del Sacramento - Uruguay
21. november 2016, Uruguay ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Just seconds after getting the stamp in the passport to leave Argentina, a man accompanied us to the next counter which allready put the stamp of the entry permit of Uruguay in it. So we kinda where allready in Uruguay even we haven't yet left Argentina. Would have been nice to have always such an unbureaucratic immigration.

To go with the ferry was a special experience, because it was quite similar like going by the airplane: The check-in process was the same and the seats were like in a plane, the only difference was that the duty free shops were on the boat.

After an one hour drive with the ferry we crossed the 40km broad river (yes it is a river and actually the broadest in the world) and arrived in Colonia del Sacramento.

Colonia is a very tranquil beach town. It's the right opposite to Buenos Aires and perfect to calm down. It has a historical centre with old, narrow streets and buildings and on several corners we found really old cars standing there. Some of them they let just there as a static symbol of the past, others are really rusty but still in use! To spend one day in Colonia was definitely a right desicion!Les mer

Montevideo
22. november 2016, Uruguay ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
The capital city of Uruguay is also known as the small sister of Buenos Aires. The stay of two days was perfect.

The first day we spent walking arround in the old town. The next day we rented a bike and were driving 22km along the coast till the end of the city and all the way back. There were plenty of beautiful sandy beaches and on the way back in the evening everyone was doing exercises, cycling, hanging, drinking Mate Tea, skating and more. It seemed to be in LA rather than in Uruguay. We were quite surprised about the lifestyle of the uruguayan people.

But now we let the city life behind and drop into the countryside of Paraguay.Les mer

Estancia Loninga - Paraguay
25. november 2016, Paraguay ⋅ ⛅ -9 °C
After a 2h flight from Montevideo to Asunción, an 8h overnight busdrive from Asunción to Neuland and a 45min cardrive, we finally arrived at the "Estancia Loninga".

Neuland: This colonie was founded by Mennonites in 1947 and is the last of three Mennonite colonies in this region. A german speaking group came to this place after flewing from the 2nd worldwar from Russia to Germany and later on to Paraguay. So it is that in this colonies the language is not only spanish but also german. The main economic sectors here are meat and milk production as well as agriculture.

"Estancia Loninga" is a farm that belongs to Chrigis father and his cousin Hansueli. Hansueli lives here with his wife Barbara and they run together the farm. The 500ha area around their farm inhabits more than 400 cows as well as a few pigs and horses. We were lucky because we also saw Nandus who live free here.

It was very interesting for us to get into the life of a farmer in Paraguay and could participate in some activities of their usual work. Thank you Hansueli & Barbara for having us with you and for introducing us into the live of a farmer. We really enjoyed it to be far away from the civilisation and have had a great week!Les mer

Cuidad del Este
1. desember 2016, Paraguay ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
After a 16h busride (including a bus change because the motor of the bus broke down) we arrived in Cuidad del Este which is located on the border of Brazil and Argentina. This town is the point of departure of Paraguay for visiting the world famous "Iguazu Falls" aswell as the hydroelectric dam "Itaipú".

"Itaipú" is the world's largest producer of clean and renewable energy. The hydroelectric dam with its 20 turbines belongs half to Paraguay and half to Brazil. With only 2 turbines, Paraguay produces enough energy for the whole country. The energy of the other 8 turbines is used for export reason. The 10 brazilian turbines spend 20% of the whole needed brazilian electricity. It suplies especially São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The length of the dam is almost 8km - very impressive!

The town itself ist nothing special, but well known for buying cheap stuff. The roads are covered with countless small sales stalls offering all the same products: fake branded t-shirts & sneakers and electronic devices. It was quite funny but not worth buying anything cheap. For us the most impressiv Thing was, that even the original electronic devices had almost the same prices than in Switzerland.Les mer

Iguazu Falls - Argentina
2. desember 2016, Brasil ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
After some troubles with crossing the border to Argentina because the license of our taxidriver was expired, we finallay arrived at Cataratas (spanish word for waterfalls) on the argentinian side.

The river "Iguazu" builds the border of Brazil and Argentina. There are 20 big and 225 smaller waterfalls with a total extension of 2.7km. Most of the big falls have the height of around 64m and some reach the size of 82m. The downgoing water amount moves from 1500 to 7000 m3/s.

The argentinian side is much bigger than the brazilian one. It took us a whole day to walk around (incl. boat tour) and visiting all the different outlooks because the distances from one to the other spot were huge. Here we were able to walk on bridges in the middle of the river and went really close to one of the biggest falls. But we got even closer by speed boat: That close, that we got wet till our underpants - it was huge fun! 💦Les mer

Iguazu Falls - Brazil
4. desember 2016, Brasil ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
On the other day, the brazilian side of the "Iguazu Falls" was on our list. Because it's much smaller than the argentinian side, half a day is plenty enough to stay there. If we wouldn't have stayed in Brazil afterwards, it wouldn't have been necessary to do all the immigration staff, because Paraguay & Brazil are in this case really unbureaucratic. 👌🏻

Compared to the argentinian side, the brazilian side is easily manageable because of the fact that there is just one way to walk on. We both found that it would have been better to do first this small side to get an overlook and visiting the day after the argentinian side.

But we both couldn't decide which side we liked better. We would definitely recommend to visit both of them!Les mer

Our driver, who brought us to the "Iguazu Falls" in Brazil, recommended us to visit the Bird Park, which is located just 300m from the entrance to the brazilian falls. So we followed his suggestion. Two hours to spend there were perfect.

It's a unique place in which we saw incredible birds of the Atlantic Rainforest in their natural habitat, alongside exotic species from around the world, many of them endangered. 50% of the birds were rescued from injuries and trafficking and 43% of them were born in the park. The main targets are rescue and conservation. We liked it as a good variety besides the waterfalls.Les mer

Florianopólis - Barra da Lagoa
5. desember 2016, Brasil ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
After visiting the brazilian Iguazu Falls we took an overnight bus from Foz do Iguazu to Florianopólis. After a 16 hours ride we finally arrived in "Floripa" which is composed of one main island, the "Island of Santa Catarina" and many surrounding small ones.

Our hostel was at the eastern side of the island at a beach called "Barra da Lagoa". So we took the public bus to go there. Unfortunately, after 30 minutes of driving, the bus wasn't able to move on because a tree trunk blocked the street. So we had to leave the bus until the only way to our hostel was free. Meanwhile in a restaurant, Alex realised that she left her iphone in the overnight bus. We desperately catched again the public bus to go back to the bus terminal. We were so happy when they told us that it was found but had to wait for two more hours till we got it back. The gap we used to get an overlook of the city center of "Floripa".

It was allready evening when we finally arrived at our hostel. Unluckily we got informed about the fact that there was no electricity and Wifi since two days because of a cyclone that destroyed some parts of the island. Now it became clear why the street was blocked by the tree and why a lot of houses were under construction. But we were at least quite lucky, that we didn't arrive in the morning the day before when the storm just went over the island.

The next days were very sunny. We enjoyed the nice weather so much, that we got sunburned like never before. But we still had a great day surfing and hanging at the beach.

Our hostel called "Sunset Strip Eco Hostel" is high recomendable: very friendly staff, very nice atmosphere and surfboards for free!

The island was actually much bigger than expected and we wished to stay longer to explore some other beaches because there were so many of them. But after the information that a second storm will reach the island on the next day, we decided on a whim to take a flight to Rio de Janeiro on the next morning.Les mer

Rio de Janeiro
8. desember 2016, Brasil ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Rio de Janeiro - our last destination before heading back home. We'll enjoy our last two weeks in this amazing city by soaking up the sun, swimming in the sea, sightseeing and having some drinks at the beach.

Rio de Janeiro is after São Paulo the second largest city of Brazil. It is known for its natural settings, Carnival, Samba and beautiful beaches such as Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon. In addition, some of the most famous landmarks including the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer, the Sugarloaf Mountain and Maracanã Stadium (one of the world's largest football stadiums) take place in this amazing city.

Here some tips for future visitors:
- Choose a hotel/hostel in the neighborhood of the metro station "Catete" or "Largo de Machado". It's a safe & little bit cheaper place and the ideal point of departure for all sights by taking the metro without changing the line.
- Make a Hop-on Hop-off bus tour to get an overlook about the city and its beautiful places.
- Join a Free Walking Tour to discover the City Center and neighborhood of Lapa: http://www.freewalkertours.com
- Visit the website of Cristo Redentor to see on a live cam if the view is good or not: http://www.corcovadoaovivo.com.br
- Eat "Tapioca" (a typical streetfood) and Açai berriesLes mer

Lapa is the only district in Rio where it is told to be safer at night than during the day. So for a true taste of nightlife in Rio, there's only one neighborhood to head for and that's Lapa. In front of the "Arcos de Lapa" a lot of foodstalls selling typical brasilian food.

"Escaderia Selaron" is a long, steep stairwell linking the neighborhoods of Lapa and Santa Teresa and is covered by lots of different tiles from across the world. It's named after the Chilean artist Jorge Selaron, who dedicated the last decades of his life to tirelessly working on this "tribute to the Brazilian people".Les mer

After arriving at the entrance of the national park we had to hike arround 45 minutes, which was quite exhausting because of the steep track in the forrest and the humidity. Finally arrived at the top, we first had to take a rest and enjoyed, while having a picnic, the mystical atmosphere. It was a bit sad that the clouds didn't go away so we couldn't see the beaches and sea. But it was still a really nice excursion with just a few other tourists.Les mer
