      Buenos Aires

      10–12 abr. 2024, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      People told me when in Latin America you want to see Buenos Aires so here I am! Sacrificed another night in the bus and safely arrived on the other coast side of the continent. My goal was to catch the vibe and see how the mixture of the European and the Latin culture is reflected in the city and I must say I can understand why so many Europeans choose this city to live. It has so many beautiful areas, it’s clean, people are nice and nightlife is great as well. I think there is so many interesting places I could see in the two days here but still I got to know some nice people, saw a friend I made in Perú again, won a beer pong tournament and ate some delicious empanadas!Leer más

      Mendoza no. 1

      8–9 abr. 2024, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      After a nervous bus ride to the Argentinian border thinking I could not cross the border because I threw away my Chilean tourist visa (a small paper they hand you over when entering Chile) I could luckily enter the country without any problems. The bus ride from Santiago to Mendoza is super interesting and beautiful since you cross the Andes and pass by the highest mountain in Latin America, the Aconcagua! Having only very little time for Argentina and knowing I would come back to Mendoza I didn’t do much except for walking around the city a bit and drinking some good wine (and beer) at the hostel since the region is very famous for producing very good wine. Will come back to try some more!!Leer más

      Santiago no. 1

      29 mar.–8 abr. 2024, Chile ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Finally made it to Santiago de Chile to visit my friend Alexandra who I made during my Erasmus in Spain! The biggest luxury is that I can stay with her and her family in Santiago and get to know the city and the culture with her. The first night we had a party with her friends and prepared some completos (1000 times the better version of hotdogs). The following days we visited some view points and parks around the city like the Cerro San Cristóbal or the Mirador Santa Lucía. We also had some great vegan food in the Barrio Italia, a rather fancy/vogue neighbourhood. One day we did a hike around a national reserve close to the city centre called La Quebrada de Macul where we could swim in small natural pools and just hike near the river. Another day we went to Valparaíso but I’ll do a separate for that. Santiago and the way I can get to know the city is great. Staying with my friend and sharing time with her, getting to know her family and friends is just the best way to see how life is there. After a short trip to Argentina I will come back and have a few more days left to spend in Santiago!Leer más

      Ls Serena & Coquimbo

      26–29 mar. 2024, Chile ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      After another long but cozy bus ride I arrived in La Serena, a city at the Chilean coast. Since my travel energy at this point is a bit low I decided to mainly stay in the city rather than doing a lot of day trips to other towns nearby which tourists mainly do. I visited the market La recova where they sell everything around papaya, did a surf class with some Germans, went for a run at the beach to a town close by called Coquimbo and walked around the Japanese garden.Leer más

      San Pedro de Atacama

      22–25 mar. 2024, Chile ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      San Pedro de Atacama is a super touristy but very sweet little town in the world’s driest desert! There is an incredible amount of agencies offering tours to several lagoons or parts of the desert around town but since I stayed at a super sweet hostel with a nice owner who offers tours at a lower price and a bit less touristy, I just did some tours with him. The first night we went to see some stars which was quite an adventure with the people from the hostel. The second day we did a hike through the Valle de la Luna which was super impressive but also quite challenging since the hike included some parts of climbing as well. That night we then also went out with some people from the hostel to a bar/club and later found out about a clandestine desert party which they often have around San Pedro. So then at 4am after the party in the club ended, small buses took us to the place in the desert and it was really crazy experience. We danced to techno and reggaeton until 7am and then went for breakfast in town(: The next day I was obviously dead so I just chilled before the next day heading to my next destination, la Serena, a coast town more in the South. Oh my initial plan was to travel to Northern Argentina after San Pedro but since a bridge on the road to Salta collapsed and for one week you can’t cross the border, I changed my plans and I am now already making my way down to Santiago de Chile!Leer más

      Uyuni & Salar de Uyuni

      18–22 mar. 2024, Bolivia ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      One of Bolivias main attractions is definitely the Salar de Uyuni, the biggest and highest salt flats on earth. Most people do several day tours to the salar and other places (and I did that too) but before Nico and I tried to enter the salt flats on our own. After taking a tour bus for 5 bolivianos (not even 1€) that dropped us of in a town near the salt flats, we walked around 1-1,5h until arriving to the salar. The salar doesn’t have any entry fee but tbh without a car you can’t really go far since in this season there is a lot of water on the surface. Still we could get some nice views! The next day I then started a 3 days/2 nights tour and went with a group of 6 people and our guide. The tour was pretty impressive and we’ve not only seen the salar but also several lagoons, some of them coloured and with flamingos (!!!), active volcanos, geysers and we drove through several deserts. I really liked our group consisting of two Brazilians, two Colombians, a French/German/Japanese woman, our Bolivian guide and me:) For me the tour then ended crossing the border to Chile and driving to a town called San Pedro de Atacama in the Atacama desert since from the last stop of the tour you’re right next to the border.Leer más

      Potosí

      14–18 mar. 2024, Bolivia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Potosí is mainly famous for its “Cerro Rico”, a mountain next to the city with lots of minerals, mainly silver. During colonisation, the Spanish would exploit this mountain, force Indigenous people to work for them and Potosí became one of the richest cities with the second highest population right after London. Until today, there is still several active mines in which mainly male workers extract minerals in order to sell them and sustain themselves. The working conditions in those mines are absurd and even young boys at the age of 14 start working there. As part of a guided tour we could eventually enter the mines and get to know their rich culture inside the mines and even watch them working. The tour is not made for people with claustrophobia or asthma since you’re walking, crawling and climbing in those dark mines on almost 4.300m over see level. Nevertheless it has been one of the most impressive experiences on this trip. It is expected that in 20-30 years there will be no more minerals left which ends an era of more than 470 years of mineral extraction. Other than that the city of Potosí has a nice city centre which is pretty small but I found it cute. One day we went to a thermal lagoon called “Ojo del Inca” and on the way discovered a small festival of apples where they sold every possible product containing apples and we even met some Belgians selling Belgium waffles with apple marmelade topping!Leer más

      Sucre

      11–14 mar. 2024, Bolivia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Visited the official capital of Bolivia (which is not La Paz as many people believe including me before visiting) - Sucre! Sucre is a white colonial city with many official buildings, some of them still used but many powers were moved to La Paz as well. The streets of the old town are super cute and you can enjoy many beautiful views from small churches (one of them is now a café!) or the monastery La Recoleta. Sucre is a very lively student city and there is always a lot of (young) people on the go. At the central market you can find endlessly fruits and cheap dishes as well as literally anything else you need. During a city tour, held by a former president of the university, we learned a lot about the history of Bolivia with the important independence document signed in Sucre in 1825, traditional food and some romantic stories in the beautiful Parque Simón Bolívar. When leaving I still had a lot of things to do on my list so I could have definitely stayed longer in this city, especially due to this sweet garden in my amazing hostel!Leer más

      Mizque

      21 feb.–11 mar. 2024, Bolivia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Don’t really know how to describe these past three weeks in Mizque but I can tell it was pretty hard to leave this place. Firstly, Mizque is not really a place you’ll find a lot of foreigners. If there is “gringos” then it’s probably because they are volunteers at the only gringo’s farm, which I was too:) My initial plan was to use this place to recharge my travel energies but in the end it was so much more than that. At the farm I learned a lot about permaculture and building a farm in Bolivia from scratch being hosted by Simon and Jessica as well as their newborn boy. I shared the experience with other lovely volunteers working at the farm, cooking, eating, talking and playing a lot of Monopoly! One day we could even go on a hike and explore nature around Mizque when visiting the Pajchapata waterfall. Thanks to Nico, another volunteer who had already made a lot of connections in town, I could then even get to know many local people. With one Bolivian couple, Chaqueño and Doña Juana, we established a great relationship and since for them it’s a pleasure two invite people, we could dive deeper into Bolivian culture
      and get to know their customs at several events. Their endless generosity, openness and kindness inspired me immensely. The only downside was that their culture includes a lot of drinking and so every time we were invited we enjoyed an abundance of Chicha, some sort of corn beer, and then some bad hangovers afterwards…:) Still, I will definitely never forget these dreamy weeks and hope to come back one day to be able to visit these people again!

      Cochabamba

      19 de febrero de 2024, Bolivia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Hope y’all didn’t forget about me so here is finally an update of my travels… About three weeks ago I’ve been to Cochabamba, a very un-touristy and super sweet city! I wanted to visit Cochabamba since we talked a lot about the city at school, more specifically the water war that took place in Cochabamba in 2000. Back then, huge companies wanted to privatise water access but the citizens, mainly indigenous communities, fighted and eventually won and hindered the privatisation. In the end I could visit some places I’ve seen in the movie around the event called “También la lluvia” and could imagine a bit better how the fights in the city must’ve looked like. Other than that I did not have that much energy to explore the city so I just walked around which was super nice due to the beautiful flowers next to the streets!Leer más
