- Woke up at 8 am as usual and started my hike to the waterfall 'Garganta del diablo' at 8:30 am. The scenery along the way is spectacular. I guess it was a relatively remote path and it was still early, I saw very few people once I left downtown.... Read more >

- Third time walking the same ´trail´, but instead of stopping at Quitor Pukara (which I had been to twice), I decided to take it further to Toconoa and the Catarpe ruins. Honestly, I am kind of numb to ruins (and mummies). They have great historial ... Read more >
