After a short stop over in Foz de Iguaçu to cross the border Paraguay-Brazil, I went «directly» (25h of bus…) to Rio de Janeiro. It was quite a special beginning as I arrived right for the carnival! I went for ten days on the wonderful Ilhabela island (which is a natural UNESCO biosphere reserve). And I am …
When hotels ask me at which date I’ll arrive, I usually answer that I don’t know… but I’ll contact them again a few days before: if they can receive me, well, super great, and otherwise, no worries, for another time! It’s very difficult to give a date in advance. Why that? Paraguay was a good …
After a long one-month-break in Buenos Aires, I’m back on the road, direction to the north.

[Chile] The Elqui valley is located right next to the chilean city of La Serena. Cradle of the pisco, we stayed between two muscadelle vineyards with the very friendly and family-style team of Casona Distante Ecolodge: stargazing, debriefing about the last earthquake, delicious meals (thank you Claudio!), walks in the village… We spent a last …

[Bolivia] We finish our tour of Bolivia with the must-see salt desert of Uyuni. Before to leave for the traditional 3days/2 nights through the desert, we stayed a night at the beautiful salt hotel Palacio de Sal.

[Bolivia] If you travel to Bolivia, I would strongly recommend you to pay a visit to the National Park of Torotoro: its canyon, its caves and dinosaurs footprints really worth it.

They also converted their lunar-scenery-garden into a …
