Blue…deep, intense, unbelievable blue! Do you know what flows continuously, changes its shape constantly, expands as far as you can see and has that mesmerizing color? If your answer was the sea/ocean, you’re correct, but it’s not what I had in mind when I asked that question. That’s the amazing color of one of the […]
Argentina is HUGE! We have spent a lot of time on the road slowly moving towards South and East on a bus… Just to cross the country from one side to the other one needs a day. But that gives you an amazing perspective on Patagonia and its size, its monotonous and dry landscape… Even […]
Travelling is tiring…exhausting sometimes! I know most of you consider it as a holiday, but it is not at all the same. Travelling is like a full time job: each day you have to plan for the next one (what to do where, means of transportation, accommodation, groceries, cooking…, pack/ unpack, meet new people/ forget […]
We chose to visit Chiloe for its UNESCO churches and nicely colored houses. But what we found there was much more than this: unusual, hard to see fauna, nice flora, unique handcrafts, super friendly and smiling people and yes, of course, the churches and the happily colored buildings. We started in Ancud with the Fuerte […]
Located in the Chilean Lake District, Pucon is a small town which offers beautiful landscapes and chill, laid-back atmosphere. It is mostly famous for the Villarrica volcano which looms majestically over the city at more than 2800 m, always covered with snow. It is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile, sometimes throwing out smoke. […]
Being in Chile and not visiting a famous winery is like being in France or Italy and … doing the same. We couldn’t miss it! So we did not have too much time to plan our visit ahead, but we just chose one of the few wineries not far from Santiago, open on the Sunday […]
Colors, many colors, all colors in the world and much more!!! This is what Valparaiso, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is all about; a city known for its bohemian culture, brightly colored houses and beautiful seaside views. Its chaotic, hilly streets are almost like an open air museum, full of incredibly beautiful street art. Apparently […]
Getting to Santiago was like getting back to civilization. It gave us the feeling of a normal big European city: both old houses and newly built skyscrapers, large streets, plazas, parks, nice restaurants, theatres, opera, many cars and bad traffic, subway…yes, subway (we haven’t seen a normal, classic one for quite some time). As we […]
After the trip to the Moon we thought nothing in the area would be even comparable to the Moon experience. But we were wrong! Atacama Desert, the driest and oldest desert on Earth, was again like a new planet discovery. We started early in the morning and made a first stop in the village of Toconao, […]
“I’d be flying to the moon and back, If you’d beeee, if you’d be my babyyyy….” Remember the Savage Garden’s song from the 90s? As we are each other’s baby, it was imperative to get to the Moon. We did not fly though, we went there on minivan. Bicycle could have also been an option, […]
