  • 2. day

    29 de marzo de 2023, Perú ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    At the second day we went to feed some monkeys with limes. Super cool to see and feed them & there were also fighting about food 😂 then we also saw the smallest monkey race of the world (baby 3cm) and fire ants. Going closer inside the jungle and the mossis are everywhere.

    Then we went to a big big tree & the sea level there is 3m higher than on the dry season. I climbed there and I really enjoyed it. I also went high and I felt a little bit danger 😂

    During driving back I saw an Tukan and a black monkey.I really enjoyed the morning tour!

    After dinner I played again soccer, before I saw an Papagei on the village 😍 these colours were amazing. After we won, we drunk cerveza super fast, because we bet before the game😂.

    In the afternoon tour we fished, which I not enjoyed so much, because we also did not catch any piranha. Not that season for that.

    Afterwards we went to sleep in the jungle.. So our guides was marking our roof and we slept in tents. They also showed us, how to make fire in the jungle and I cuttend wood with the machete 💪🏽

    Then we went to a night walk in the jungle to see animals. We saw frogs, spiders, Tarantel (3x!), fire ants and two fucking snacked. The Boa tree, which was on an tree and our guide putted it on a Ast & an anaconda on the ground.

    We also wanted to eat frog, so our guide killed the sweet frog, prepared everything, roasting and eating with spaghetti. It tasted good! Little Bit like chicken.

  • 3rd day

    29 de marzo de 2023, Perú ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We wanted to wake up at 4:30 to see the sunset, but it began heavily to rain at this time. I slept ok.

    Then we went to our lodge for breakfast and a national reserve to see liliplants. (Seerosen). After that our guide also explained sth about medical plants. Super interesting.

    After that we went to hugging a slough & he moved so slow and he was suuuuper sweet😍

    Then we drunk some beer again and after lunch we went 2h with boat and 2h with car back to Iquitos.

    Wow, in summary the Amazonas was amazing! I was on the Amazon River, swam there & have seen an amazing nature with a lot of animals.
    Tukan, Papagei, slough, alligators, tarantella, monkeys, woodpecker, green/yellow/blue birde, owl & snakes. I loved it also to have no connection & enjoy the nature & the noises of the Jungle

  • Short stay in guayaquil

    31 de marzo de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ 🌩️ 28 °C

    After I had breakfast and lunch in Iquitos I flew back to lima. I also met Alexandra from France after her retreat again:))

    The city Iquitos by itself was not very nice. A lot of dirt & the mercado was the worst smelling and in the badest conditions I have ever seen a mercado. I drove together with Daniel from Mexiko to the airpot and waited for the flight.

    I Took again the cheaper bus to miraflores and walked after having a nice pizza back to the hostel.

    At the next day I drove after breakfast & wishing jess all the best for her birthday to the airpot (because of the luggage with an cab). The airpot of Guayaquil is the most frequent in Ecuador, because of the flights also to Galapagos. The flights would be ok (200 € inkl. Luggage), but the stay would be super expensive, that’s the reason why I not go there. Next time, when I have more money 😂

    I also needed to buy a ticket out of Ecuador at the airpot, which I didn’t know. So I booked a Fake flight and it went out. Better informing would be good haha.

    Guayaquil is not the best place to stay, but i still went after checking in to the city Center and walked around. It was nice, but it is not worth it to stay longer.

    Tomorrow I will go to Montanita, maybe take an surf class and chill close to the beach.

  • Beautiful montanita & surfing

    2 de abril de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    After an ok breakfast I went in the morning 4h by bus to montanita. It is a known beach place with a lot of party. But I got in touch with Juan (stayed 4 weeks in montanita ) and his sister Maria from Spain and he knows a chilled place a little bit outside of the party area. So I decided to stay with them.

    We went to the beach in the afternoon and saw the sunset. In the evening we played cards with British guys and one German guy. Supper chilled evening.

    At the next day I went to breakfast with Juan and Maria and then I booked a tour to Isla de plata with snorkelling for tomorrow. Now I heard it id closed.. we will se 😂(2/3 was closed because of the raining season)
    I also had a Call with Paddy to wish him all the best time in Thailand and also called with isi:)

    Then I rented a surf board for one day and I really enjoyed it! Hard at the beginning, but it went out ok. I was able to stand and surfed in 2x for 4-5 seconds! I can now understand why people love surfing. So nice to have that kind of sport at the beach. Also to chill after the first wallbreaker it is super chilled.

    Then Juan and Maria came to the beach and we watched the sunset and went swimming in the dark. Super nice.

    Then I cooked with Maria in the hostel in the evening.

    I really understand, why people get stuck at this beautiful place 😍
    I also saw whater buffalo’s at the beach and an big lizard (1.3m) in the hostel😂

  • Isla de la plata!!

    4 de abril de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Today I went to the Parque Nacional
    Machalilla, more exactly to the Isla de La plata, which is known for the „Galapagos for the poor in Ecuador. I have seen two (paracas, Isla Balletares) Islands like them now & I am super happy with that animals result!

    We drove 1h with the bus and 1h then with the boat to this island. I saw super many different birds & the one with the blue feets you can only see them there and at Galapagos.

    We walked around the Isla and it was super hot (unfortunately we have not seen the Albatros & some paths were closed, because of the raining season)

    I still was super happy to see the other birds and the amazing cliffs! Then we had lunch and during that we saw 2 big turtles, which I have seen later inside the water during snorkelling again.🙌🏽💪🏽

    Suuuper nice fishes also there were crabs and i have sen a see star. Loved it!

    I have also seen a lizard, who fighted against a scorpion😂💪🏽

    In the evening I played again cards with the German guy Christian and the English people, where I went with Gaia from the Netherlands

  • Ayampe Surf Tournament and party

    5 de abril de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    I stayed one more night to go with Juan, Maria and Gaia to ayampe, to watch Susanna (Ecuadorean girl from Juan) surfing. So we chilled with her group on the beach, super chilled!

    In the evening we made party at the hostel together & then it started heavily raining. The relax area of the hostel was mostly overflowed with water, but we still had super fun. I decided to go swimming with Gaia in that rain, which was also super nice! When we went to bed it our dorm was also with water🤦🏼‍♂️

    Cuenca is calling now, unfortunately with no one of them, because they have different routes 🙈

  • Nationalpark Cajas

    7 de abril de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    Today I went to the Nationalpark Cajas with 6 other people from the hostel. (German, mexican, British). We drove 1h from the bus terminal after 20 min walk to to the bus terminal the entrance of the Parque Nacional Cajas at the Laguna Toreadora. Then we hiked around 4 hours and we were 3900 m high!
    I really enjoyed the walk/hike, but it started raining after 1h and we got wet😂
    Super beautiful to see all the small Lagunas and the mountains!

    After a little bith of waiting we drove again 1h home. I really enjoyed the day!
    In the evening we went to a eastern procession, which was really strange. Ecuador is very religious, so the procession was unusual to see, because I am also not that religious. (Also 3 people carried crosses and there were slammed with a roap🤷🏽‍♂️) So we went away from there fast, and after dinner I chilled in the hostel and drunk some beer with the Canadian Digital Normand Marcus

  • Free walking tour and museum

    8 de abril de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Today I had a call with Tara after breakfast and she is unfortunately not joining me In Colombia🥹

    Then I went to a free walking tour with people from the hostel and the Canadian guy Marcus and with an Irish couple, which is also met during the Isla de La plates tour. They also went to that scary Easter parade yesterday night & they are also in my hostel 😂

    The city is beautiful, tiny, and lovely. Their buildings and their Color, especially at night!😍🥹

    After the free walking tour we went to the mercado and had some lunch and coffee 😎😍

    Then we went to the Pumapungo Museum, although the ruins of Pumapungo were closed. The museum was nice, I liked it!

    It was still raining super heavily till we went out of the museum, so we took the taxi.

    After chilling at the hostel and speeking to a tattoo artist downstairs of the hostel I went with Marcus to dinner and then I went to the bus station. I will drive to banos for 9h and I want to stay there 4-5 days. I hope I will report of some nice outdoor activities!

    I am sitting in the bus now and I really enjoyed Cuenca. The national park is super nice and the city is so beautiful. I also enjoyed staying in the nice hostel and the people I met there were super cool:)

  • Arriving in Baños

    9 de abril de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    I arrived in Ambarto at 4:30 and took another bus to Banos, where I have been at 5:30. unfortunately to hostel was not open and I slept in a park till 7:30 again.

    Because I still had problems with loading my phone, I went to an professional Apple Store and he figured out, that only my old cables are the problem. So I bought 2 new cables and I should be fine now.
    I also bought a new towel, new shoes and new ear plugs. Productive morning and a lot of organisational stuff is done now.

    Then I met Gaia in the hostel again and we will do canyoning tomorrow!

    Then I went to La Casa del Arbol, which has an amazing view over the mountains in banos. I also have seen an rainbow there.

    During the bus ride I got in touch with Diego from Argentina, and we went there together, super funny and cool guy.

    We also went on a a swing, which was very cool!

    After having dinner at the hostel by cooking, I decided to go to thermal bathes with French girls of the hostel. Gaia felt still sick, so she did not join🥲

    The wather temperature at the Termas de la Virgen were at 36,38 and 42 degree. Also a cold pool were there for refreshing. I really enjoyed that!

    I chilled with Gaia after that in the evening :)

  • Canyoning +Waterfall +thermes again

    10 de abril de 2023, Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    In the morning I went with Gaia for the first time in my life canyoning. Fuck it, it was super nice! We made it for 1 1/2 hours and we went down 4 waterfalls. We were able to jump at the end of each down sailing into the water, which was cold😂
    We also walked down for one time and also to slip.

    At the end we were at a 35m waterfall and he introduced us to sailed down: but no! He let me fall 10-15m down and I was not expecting that! Wow that was so good!

    Because Our guide Alex liked us, we were able to jump with the head in front again. I was really scared at the beginning 😂

    So it was a really nice activity, which I really enjoyed, also we were only us two:)

    After heading back to the hostel and having lunch, we drove with the bus to the cascade del diabolo, which is the biggest one around here.

    I enjoyed the walk to that waterfall and because we got very close, we should get wet. So we decided to take out our clothes and walked behind that waterfall! Super cool and refreshing and cool experience. Also that we had to crawl the last 5 min to that place was super cool! Then it started raining again and we went with the bus back to the hostel.

    After having dinner at the hostel, we went to the thermes:)

    I really enjoy the nature as well as the activities to do here.
