Last days in Central America
2 de outubro de 2016, Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
The capital San José was the last stop of our journey together. The city was a lot bigger than we expected, so we enjoyed strolling around the busy streets, visiting the jade museum, drinking great coffee at a small coffee festival and eating our last "casada", the typical meal of Costa Rica. Nadine headed home now, starting new adventures back in Amsterdam and I am on my way to Peru.Leia mais

It's chilly in Peru
4 de outubro de 2016, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
The temperature drop was rather intense when I arrived in Lima but at least this is a great excuse to buy a nice alpaca poncho soon :) A day later, my sister arrived as well and after we visited some nice areas of this city, we are now off to explore Peru's beatiful nature.Leia mais

We found penguins!
7 de outubro de 2016, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
In Paracas, a small town right next to Pisco where the famous "pisco sour" is rooted, we went by boat to the Ballestas islands. There we saw tousands of guanay birds, hundreds of pelicans, plenty of flamingos and sea lions, and even a few penguins, which made this expedition to the nature reserve more than complete :) As this area of Peru is mainly desert, we also went to a oasis called Huacachina to play around on the huge sand dunes.Leia mais

At dizzy heights
10 de outubro de 2016, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
From to coast we travelled by night bus straight to the highlands of Arequipa. A two day trekking tour into the Colca Canyon was tough but, surprisingly, the peruvian tourists were the ones struggling the most and eventually had to sit on mules to get out of the canyon again :) Volcanic thermal baths were the perfect treatment to relax after this beautiful but exhausting hike. As there was so much to do in this area, we also went to see a salt lake called Salinas where hundreds of alpacas, lamas and vicuñas were enjoying the silence up there. From this point, we biked down on a unsealed road from 4300m above sea level back to civilization.Leia mais

Lake Titicaca - Birthplace of the sun
14 de outubro de 2016, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
In the past days we went all the way up to the highest navigable lake in the world (3809m). The lake is so large it really resembles the sea but if you look closely, you can spot the snowy mountains that are appearing among the white clouds.
We visited different islands, with the first one being the Uros islands. These floating islands are made of reed and the Uro inhabitants need to maintain their many little islands every two weeks. We stayed for one night on a "real" island called Amantani with a local family, which was a very nice experience. And besides eating yummie ceviche de trucha from the Titicaca lake, we also spent some time in the city of Puno to buy warm clothes made of alpaca wool - as the annual average in temperature here is only 8°C!!Leia mais

Machu Picchu and more highlights
20 de outubro de 2016, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Cusco was the perfect city to enjoy one more time the great food at mercado central, to stroll through the beautiful tiny streets but also to start trips to the many great places in this area. A trip to Machu Picchu was hereby a must and this Inca made world heritage is indeed even more impressive as it already looks in the magazines! Another highlight was the hike up to over 5000m on top of the rainbow mountains that we did together with Régy (and with whom I celebrated that same day our official graduation from university :)).Leia mais

Huanchaco vibes
31 de outubro de 2016, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
After my sister left, I spent my last week in Peru visiting Roxy and Matteo in the beach town Huanchaco. Besides surfing a lot and trying out many great local specialties, we hiked/ climbed up a mountain top and camped there for a night. The view from up there was incredible, with a sky turning from a burning red into a starlit night. Only some kind of huge bird was keeping us awake while it was out hunting :).
The impressive adobe city Chan Chan, which is even older than the Inca sites, was definitely also worth a visit. We celebrated our last evening with a halloween party and were thus wearing our makeup accordingly. Now it is time to explore the other side of the continent - Brazil here I come!Leia mais

Bem vindo ao Brasil
9 de novembro de 2016, Brasil ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Vera and I spent the first week of our trip together in the Bahia surf camp just north of Salvador. The camp itself was like an oasis, or bubble as we called it, since it was disconnected from civilization in a quiet resort area with private beach access. Only a surf trip to another beach let us believe that we are actually in Brazil, and we even saw dolphins enjoying the waves there:) This week was filled with nice surfing, skateboarding, table tennis and fun talks. However, we dared to leave that bubble for our last day to explore Salvador city which ended up in rather inconvenient experience for us. Only five minutes after we arrived in the city centre, a guy threathened us with a huge knife and eventually stole Vera's bag!!
Shocked from this event we changed our plans of a night bus trip and instead flew South to a beach town called Itacaré.Leia mais

Bahia sights
17 de novembro de 2016, Brasil ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
In the relaxing town of Itacaré we spent a couple of days with good food, nice beaches and even a small reggae concert. A day trip by boat to the islands of Camamu with only brazilian tourists was accompanied with good music and the tiny islands made us feel like in paradise!
Afterwards, we stayed for some days on the island Itaparica. We went kayaking and explored the green island by car together with a french stage director. The soccer field we discovered there was a bit wet but quite impressive :)
Now we are up in the air again - heading north this time.Leia mais

Up north
23 de novembro de 2016, Brasil ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Last week, we visited two cities in the north of this huge country. Fortaleza surprised us with clean and white city beaches that invited to relax. A day trip to Cumbuco - a nearby beach full of kitesurfers was good fun. On a buggy we cruised over dunes and along the beach. The second city we visited, Sao Luis, was rather disappointing as it seemed that it had been totally forgotten by the government. Therefore, besides a few nice old colonial buildings, there was not much to see or do. We used this stay to charge our batteries and are now SO ready for the jungle :)Leia mais
