Spurred on by the success and freedom of Salar de Uyuni we decided to travel the Southwest Circuit of Bolivia. At first i tried to convince Hyungim and Imo to come along with us, since I was afraid to go this way by myself. Why? The Southwest circuit is an offroading route through the high […]
Salar de Uyuni – Bolivia
Preparation. You probably think that we have this whole thing planned out, right? Would you believe it that our preparation is only a few days ahead of our actual arrival time? As we found out, it is impractical to plan for more than a few days in advance. There are so many factors in play […]
Machu Picchu – Peru
I give you Machu Picchu, look below! Really something isn’t it? Okay, some of you have actually been here and will spot a fake in a second. These are some ruins in a town of Ollantaytambo. Most tourists go to Machu Picchu, located next to town of Aguas Calientes, by either bus or a train. […]
Cuzco – Peru
After the Nazca Lines flight, we decided to start driving towards Cuzco right away. Maybe it wasn’t the best decision we ever made. No nothing bad happened, but driving on a mountain road after that vomit inducing flight…well, it didn’t help. And since i had to drive i couldn’t take Dramamine (it makes you extremely […]
Nazca Lines – Peru
Just a single day ride away from Lima is the infamous Nazca. I mean the city itself is nothing to write home about, so i wont. We are here only for the Nazca lines! Thats, not a photo of the lines…its us. I wanted to included it, just in case you forgot what we look […]
Lima – Peru
After getting down from the mountains in the North of Peru, it was a fast drive down to Lima. It felt so strange to go in a straight line and above 40 mph. Not even strange, more scary than anything. The road was so smooth and the ride so quite, it felt like you were […]
Peru – Northern Sierra
Peru – whenever you hear it, you think of people in native clothes, llamas, Machu Picchu and mountains. Among my friends, it is the most popular South American destination. People are drawn to the allure of this place and I as usual have no idea what to expect from this place, except for Machu Picchu. […]
New Year, New Hemisphere – Ecuador
I started with a picture on purpose…look at these gas prices!!! Thats US dollars btw. I know, i know its almost the same in the states. But when we were leaving it was at $3.50/gal in San Diego. Since no one wants to fill up with the “expensive” Colombian gas, there are lines at the […]
Bienvenidos a South America – Colombia
Cartagena Where did we leave off last time? Can’t even remember myself… Oh yeah, on the death defying crossing of the Darien Gap. The internet situation has been getting progressively worse as we venture further South. From our landing in Colombia, we needed to make it to Cartagena, where our cars were patiently waiting for […]
Cuban Experience – Crossing the Darien Gap
What i’m about to tell you is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. No extravagant exaggerations, no wild hyperbole. This is real. As you know we have been matched with a shipping partner that will share a container with us. But we were unable to meet until the night before […]
