This will be a short one. Unfortunately the budget isnt going to allow us to go to the Galapagos. I just had to turn my head and not think about just how close I am. I think it would be a great trip for Kelly and I to do together, start ... Read more >

So we took Peru Hop from Cusco to Lima and we didnt get off to a great start. The first bus was pretty crappy, bad smell from the bathroom and the seats reclined about 10 degrees if that. Fortunately there werent many of us so we were each ... Read more >

San Pedro on the Chile, Bolivia border. In the middle of the desert there is this quaint little adobe town. Very quaint. Tons of tourists of course as that is all that's here, the tours to the salt flats as well as a few other day outings.... Read more >

26 hours after leaving Santiago we arrive in Taltal. The evening bus driver was going way over the speed limit and driving rather erratically so I didn't get a lot of sleep. We arrived in Antofagasta at about 5am, an hour and a ... Read more >

Another bus trip but this one by day. About 7 hours, and some scenery along the way. Its funny but most people weve met so far that have come through Chile first have told us Santiago is worth spending much time in. Not much to see ... Read more >
