CHILE | Thursday, 2 Jul 2015 | Photo Gallery

After a month in Bolivia, we are just starting to discover Chile. One of the first impressions we had arriving in San Pedro de Atacama in Chile was everything is much more expensive (easily 3-4 times more for food, accommodation, excursions, etc.) than ... Read more >

BOLIVIA | Thursday, 2 Jul 2015 | Photo Gallery

Nous voilà à la dernière excursion en Bolivie qui d'ailleurs a été la meilleure de Bolivie ou presque à égalité avec le Machu Picchu : le salar de Uyuni qui est le plus grand désert de sel du monde et qui se situe à environ 4000m d'altitude (12000 ft).... Read more >

BOLIVIA | Tuesday, 16 Jun 2015 | Photo Gallery

Nous avons passé une petite semaine tranquille à Sucre qui est l'ancienne capitale de la Bolivie située à 2800m-9186ft. Sucre est une ville "propre" et calme par rapport à la Paz et une ville parfaite pour se reposer et "ne rien faire". La température ... Read more >

PERU | Monday, 25 May 2015 | Photo Gallery

Wednesday we took a 11h overnight bus from Cuzco to Arequipa. Buses are much better in Latin America than in North America, nothing compared to Greyhound. There are 2 types of overnight buses: " semi cama" with a 160 degree inclination seat and "cama" ... Read more >

PERU | Saturday, 16 May 2015 | Photo Gallery

Well, well. Finally we took the airplane instead of a bus. While the 24 hour bus to Cuzco was tempting, we were still recovering from some altitude sickness. And don't forget we still did the overnight bus from the Cordillera Blanca back to Lima to catch ... Read more >

PERU | Friday, 8 May 2015 | Photo Gallery

1 week down, only 39 more to go! :-) Lima, Trujillo and the Cordillera Blanca ... check. Honestly, the pace is a bit too fast. Especially with overnight buses and the 4000m altitude (12,000 ft) here in the Cordillera. We need some R&R. And either way, ... Read more >
