    Quito, Ecuador

    22 Ağustos 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    After our three weeks at the Galápagos Islands we enjoyed the good wifi at our hostel in Quito 😅 we sorted all the footage, uploaded it to the cloud and startet to edit videos. We have to say that we were a bit lazy the first days after all the action at the island. In total we’ve been there for six days. We were close to the centro historico where you can find dozens of old churches and buildings from the colonial time. We’ve been up with the teleferico to a viewpoint at over 4.000m height and visited the famous „mitad del mundo“ where the equator line passes the northern part of Quito.
    Once more we joined a free walking tour to get a insight of the city. It was perfectly balanced between politics, history, economy, architecture and social life of Quito.
    One of the highlights was definitely to go up to the towers of the basilica del voto nacional, where you have a fantastic 360 degree view of the city.

    For the next three weeks we decided do our first “Workaway” and work at the coast of Ecuador at puerto cayo (between Manta and Puerto Lopez). We both felt like we need a bit a daily routine and time to process all the impressions and experiences of the last months. The workload will be not to hard so we have time to explore the region and make plans for the rest of Ecuador and which country comes next.    Okumaya devam et

    Creative break in Puerto Cayo

    16 Eylül 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    After 4 months of traveling we needed a little break to take a deep breath. So we decided to do our first „Workaway“ in Puerto Cayo at the Ecuadorian coast. We stayed three weeks at a urbanization project and took care about the facilities, did some gardening and maintenance. Another big task was to regularly clean up the beach. It’s sad to see how the coastline is suffering from the pollution of plastic garbage.

    Besides our work we had enough time to visit Manta and Puerto Lopez, two popular cities at the Pacific Ocean. Due to the fact it’s whale season right now, we joined a whale watching tour to see these magical creatures. The humpback whales come to this region to give birth to their calves.
    The next day during some beach cleaning we spotted two female humpbacks with their babies right in front of our beach. I was able to shoot some great footage.

    I have to say the three weeks fulfilled their purpose. We’re hungry now to move on and explore the rest of Ecuador.
    We’re on the road again.    Okumaya devam et

    Montañita

    18 Eylül 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Montañita is famous for two reasons. Surfing and nightlife. After three quiet weeks in Cayo we were up for some action and so we decided to spent the weekend here before heading to the mountains.
    The weather wasn’t that good so we didn’t spend to much time at the beach. So we enjoyed the nightlife even more. Drinking cocktails in the little cocktail bungalows along the streets, watching the crazy people while sitting in a bar or dancing in the nightclubs. You can find all in Montañita. After a fun weekend we’re traveling via Guayaquil to Cuenca in the Andes.    Okumaya devam et

    Free Walking Tour, Cuenca

    21 Eylül 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    As we did in many cities before, again we used a free walking tour to get a overview of Cuenca and some insider recommendations. Our guide Paul was great and showed us all the important stuff in this beautiful place. We were surprised about how modern, clean & welcoming this cities in the middle of the Andes is. We immediately fell in love with the historic buildings, parks and friendly people. Cuenca is definitely a must see in Ecuador. The next days we’ll continue to explore the city and the beautiful nature surrounding it.Okumaya devam et

    Cajas National Park

    22 Eylül 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    By bus, we went to Cajas National Park. The part is located in the Andes approximately one hour away from Cuenca. Normally you can explore different hiking trails to amazing view points and little lakes. We were a bit unlucky and had lightly rain all the time. So we decided just to hike a short round trip around one of the lakes. We do not have the well known beautiful pictures with blue sky and alpacas in front of the mountains but hey 🤷🏻‍♂️ it was still fun.Okumaya devam et

    Cuenca and its surroundig area

    23 Eylül 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    On our last days in Cuenca we were enjoying to walk trough the cute old town and parks. Also we did a trip to two little mountain villages. Chordeleg is famous for its jewelries selling all kind of silver and gold stuff, while Sigsig is known for the production of the famous Panama Hats. We visited a association of Ecuadorian women who are making those hats from cutting the wheats until the final product.

    Cuenca is definitely our favorite place at the Ecuadorian main land so far and we can highly recommend a stop here.
    Since we found out that the popular mountain train “devils nose” is not operating, we changed our plans. We’re going to Riobamba next, for some hiking around the highest mountain in the country: Chimborazo!    Okumaya devam et

    Hiking at Chimborazo Volcano

    27 Eylül 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    After Cuenca we went to Riobamba. The perfect basecamp for hiking tours to Chimborazo Volcano. It’s the closest point on earth to heaven, due to his location close to the equator and the ellipse form of the earth. If you’re measuring from the core of the earth, Chimborazo is even higher than Mount Everest.
    The first two days we spent in Riobamba just hanging around because I was fighting with a little cold. Lucky for us on Monday when we went to Chimborazo we had the most perfect weather. Clear all day. By Car we drove to the Carrel Refugio a little cabin for those you want to climb the summit. It’s on 5.000 altitude. From there we startet our 15km hike. First to the next refugio and the Condor Cocha lagoon at 5.100m. The next stop was Templo Machay Cave before we went all the way down to Chimborazo lodge. The altitude was hard to handle, every step was super exhausting but totally worth it.
    The landscape was absolut insane and besides wild Vicuñas (Part of the Llama Family) we met a Ecuadorian shepherd with his Alpacas.

    Back in Riobamba we went immediately to bed after a pizza and a hot shower. 😅🏔    Okumaya devam et

    Baños de Agua Santa

    30 Eylül 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Baños is a perfect place for outdoor fans. White water rafting, hiking, canyoning or zip lining. You can find everything here. It’s located in a valley between green mountains, with lots of waterfalls and little canyons. You recognize at the first moments that everything is made for tourists which is sometimes a bit to much. Still worth to visit!Okumaya devam et

    Quilotoa Loop - 3 Day hike

    2 Ekim 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    The Quilotoa Loop is a popular track to a beautiful volcano lake 2 hours south of Quito. You can do this hike in different ways between a path just around the lagoon or several days trough little villages in the mountains to end and the crater.
    We did a three day hike and stayed in two beautiful mountain hostels. In total we hiked 37km and 2.700m in altitude. Most of the time we were very lucky with the weather. On the last day we finally reached the view point for the lake with its amazing green/ blue color.    Okumaya devam et

    Cotopaxi - Secret Garden Lodge

    7 Ekim 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    Two nights and three days we spent at the Secret Garden Lodge near Cotopaxi Volcano. An absolutely amazing place where you have a fantastic view of iconic Cotopaxi during the clear mornings.
    We did two hikes, one to the close waterfalls where I took a bath in only 9 degrees cold mountain water and the second to the summit of Pasochoa at 4.200m altitude. One day we did a horseback riding tour trough the incredible landscapes of Cotopaxi Nationalpark.
    Between the activities you can relax in the cosy common area of the lodge in front of a fire, feed the Llamas next to the Lodge or recover in the jacuzzi.    Okumaya devam et

    Cuyabeno - Amazon Rainforest

    8 Ekim 2021, Ekvador ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Four days we spent at Tucan lodge in Cuyabeno Nationalpark which is part of the Amazon rain forest. The lodge was in the middle of nowhere. We had to take a bus from Quito for 10 hours and then an additional 2 hours boat ride. Being in the middle of this incredible ecosystem was just amazing. We saw the famous Amazon river dolphins, two anacondas, sloughs, 5 species of monkeys, tree boas, caimans, tarantulas and a lot more. With the canoe we went through the system of rivers and lagoons to see all kind of wildlife. One day we spent at a village of indigenous people.
    A absolutely perfect end of our 10 weeks stay in this beautiful country. Now we’re moving to our next country: Peru! 🇵🇪    Okumaya devam et

    Lima

    14 Ekim 2021, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Our first destination in Peru was the capital, Lima. During a free walking to we got to know the historic city center of lima with its impressive buildings. It was a lucky coincidence that we’re able to witness the change of the watchmen form the presidential palace.
    We finally met our friend Carlos again which we first met during a diving trip at Cozumel island, Mexico a few months ago. We had some drinks in a nice rooftop bar and he showed us his favorite places for the most famous Peruvian dishes: Ceviche & Pisco sour.
    We have to say we both didn’t expect that we’re going to like lima that much!    Okumaya devam et

    Huacachina Oasis, Ica

    18 Ekim 2021, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Ica is located in a desert, ca. 300km south of Lima. Next to the city huge sand dunes letting you feel like you’re somewhere at the Arabic peninsula.
    Right in between these dunes you can find the most iconic sight of Ica: the Oasis Huacachina.

    We went there at late afternoon to catch the sunset. The place was full of people and we didn’t feel the magic we were expecting after seeing all the beautiful pictures. But the light of the sunset was still amazing.
    We decided to go there again early the next morning and we didn’t regret it. Almost nobody was around so we enjoyed climbing on top of one of the dunes, taking pictures and flying the drone.    Okumaya devam et

    Uros - floating islands of lake Titicaca

    23 Ekim 2021, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    After colca canyon we went to lake titicaca and spent two nights in one of the floating villages - Uros. The hosting family was super friendly and showed us how the manage their life in this special environment. Almost everything is made out of reed and so we joined them to cut it and learn how they use it.

    Besides that we enjoyed the beautiful sunset at the lake and the crystal clear sky at night with thousands of stars.    Okumaya devam et

    Cusco - Rainbow Mountains

    27 Ekim 2021, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Just seven years ago the Rainbow Mountains near Cusco we’re discovered. Due to the melting of glaciers in the area, the colorful layers became visible. Different minerals like iron or sulfur are responsible for that.
    The Peruvians quickly transformed this spot into a crowded tourist place 🙈
    But still we enjoyed the hike above 5.000m to witness this natural spectacle.    Okumaya devam et

    Machu Picchu

    29 Ekim 2021, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Machu Picchu - definitely a point on almost every bucket list. What an experience. We took the bus to a hydro power plant and hiked for around one and a half hours to Aguas Calientes, the village at the foot of Machu Picchu. At 4.00am the next morning we started our hike up to the Archeological site. It took us a very exhausting hour before we finally entered Machu Picchu. Our guide told us about the Inke who used to live here, the story about the creation of the village and the conquest of the Spains. Additionally we hiked up to one of the surrounding mountains, Wayna Picchu. It was nice to have a complete different view from there, but nothing beats the famous view point. Just standing there and see Machu Picchu in front of The foggy mountains is breathtaking.
    Absolutely one of the most impressive moments on our trip. Even when it’s still super crowded even during the pandemic.    Okumaya devam et

    Cusco & Sacred Valley

    30 Ekim 2021, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Cusco is also a very nice city but you immediately recognize why it is called the “Tourist Capital”. Everyone is trying to sell a tour, souvenirs or invite you in a restaurant.
    The reason is simple: inca and colonial history and the tourist highlights rainbow mountains, sacred valley and Machu Picchu close by.

    During a trip to the sacred valley we visited another inca ruin and the “Salineras”, little ponds where they produce salt out of a Saltwater spring.    Okumaya devam et

    Huaraz and hasta la proxima, Peru!

    6 Kasım 2021, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    Our last stop in Peru before heading back to Lima and continuing our trip on another continent.
    Huaraz is famous for hiking trips to incredible landscapes, glaciers and colorful lagoons. We did two hikes one to the famous lagoon 69. The color of the water is insane. You cannot believe this is a real.
    A successful ending of our trip trough Peru.
    With the night bus we went back to Peru where we stayed in a hostel in our favorite neighborhood: Barranco. Here we enjoyed a last time ceviche and pisco sour and prepared ourselves for the next destination. After six months in Latin America we’re leaving the continent… 😉    Okumaya devam et

    Stopover Los Angeles

    9 Kasım 2021, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    On our 44hour journey to Thailand we had an 15 hours stopover in L.A.
    We met a friend we met first in Costa Rica at the very beginning of our trip. It’s funny how your paths crossing in your life. Andrew was so kind and gave us a ride from and to the airport, we used his bikes for a tour around Santa Monica and Venice. In the afternoon we made a short stop at the walk of fame and we saw the Hollywood sign far in the hills.
    I think we made the best out of this short stopover. Luckily both of us have already been there so we’re relaxed.
    In the evening we entered our flight to Singapur - 18hrs, crossing the Pacific Ocean.    Okumaya devam et

    Welcome to Thailand

    11 Kasım 2021, Tayland ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

    Finally we arrived in Thailand. First of all we’re super happy to end up in Southeast Asia. Our original plans were actually so start our trip in this area. But anyways, Latin America was unbelievable and now we’re here, ready to explore this complete different culture. Since the 1st of November, Thailand is open for travelers without any quarantine. For us, coming from Peru it was still a bit more difficult. Due to the fact that Peru is not on the list of “safe country’s” we have to stay for the first seven days in one province, but also without any quarantine.
    We already applied for the new Thailand Pass online and had a reservation with a certified hotel on the island Phuket. Arriving at the airport there was simple. The organization was incredible. The staff managed it pretty well to do the health registration, immigration and the mandatory PCR test after arriving for tons of tourists. Shoutout 👌🏻
    We had then a transport to our hotel where we had to stay in our room for a couple of hours until the test results were sent via email.
    Since that we’re able to go out and enjoy ourselves. We’re looking forward to explore Phuket for the upcoming seven days and the whole country after this time.    Okumaya devam et

    Phuket, Thailand

    16 Kasım 2021, Tayland ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    We had to spend our first seven days on Phuket island due to the sandbox program. Our hotel was located at Patong beach which is mostly known as a party hotspot. And I have to say that’s absolutely true. Besides we also witnessed some stereotypes, because most tourists in Patong are white, european men above 40 years. 🙈

    We rented out a scooter to explore the island. We found some
    Nice little beaches and visited the big Buddha statue at a little hill where you have a beautiful view of the Phuket and the small surrounding islands.

    After the first seven days in Patong, we had two additional nights in Oldtwon Phiket which is surprisingly nice.
    The next stop will be Bangkok where we go by a nightbus.    Okumaya devam et

    Bangkok, Thailand

    23 Kasım 2021, Tayland ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    In total we spent four nights in Thailands capital: Bangkok! More than 14 million people are living in and around this giant city.
    We really really liked Bangkok. The amazing temple’s, the impressive kings palace or busy china town to grab some street food. This place is testing all your senses.
    At one night we treated ourselves with an expensive cocktail at the famous sky bar of Lebua State Tower and enjoyed the incredible view of Bangkok at night.    Okumaya devam et

    Chiang Mai, Thailand

    26 Kasım 2021, Tayland ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Sarah, a friend from back home is visiting us for three weeks in Thailand. After picking her up in Bangkok, we took a night train up in the north to Chiangmai. A quite and beautiful city. We visited different temples, the Doi Inthanon Nationalpak and walked along the night market which took place for the first time after more than two years now.
    One day we’ve been to “Elephant Nature Park”, a sanctuary for elephants who have been rescued. At this place you’re able to have a close encounter with this giant creature’s while making sure that they’re treated well. Bathing or riding is forbidden and during all the time you have to make sure that the elephants can move where ever they want. They are not forced to do anything at all.
    We heard different story’s about the history of the individuals and sometimes it was horrible to hear what our species has done to this animals.    Okumaya devam et
