Before I begin to tell you about my amazing day at Parque Tayrona, I must admit that I skipped one stop.
After we left the pleasure hell of the beaches of Cartagena, we made it to Santa Marta, a city by the sea. A little colonial, a little touristy, a little average, but very unpretentious. A healthy mix of good crowds.
And adjacent to the fantastic natural reserve Parque Tayrona.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Come, let me guide you to Bogotá, Colombia’s hip ‘n’ artsy capital.
It’s the most energetic and vibrant Latin American city I’ve ever visited, indeed.
I’m still overwhelmed by the charm and the beauty of many neighborhoods. I’m also impressed by the environmental awareness, by the countless delightful little shops and vegetarian and vegan snack bars. The most amazing suit, however, is the eclectic, outstanding, creative art that can be found at every corner.
Totally unexpectedly, Bogotá took me by storm.
This Way to the Whole Story ->While studying Portuguese in Rio de Janeiro, I thought it might be a good idea to take a trip to Belo Horizonte at the weekend – mostly because I wanted to see Inhotim, a botanic garden full of contemporary art.
Turns out, Inhotim was the only spot worth the travel. But so worth it!
This Way to the Whole Story ->…and what I am needs no excuses – the beginning of Gloria Gaynor’s evergreen is the perfect intro to this post, which deals with my perspective on the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, an extremely gay event.
Gay in every sense of the word.
This Way to the Whole Story ->This is a travel guide to Peru, a country that has it all – majestic mountains, endless coasts, and mysterious jungles as well as vast cultural wealth.
Vamonos, let me guide you to Lima – beyond Miraflores and off the touristy trails.
Give Lima a chance to amaze you with beautiful museums, colorful markets, and great food.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Here comes a guide to Paracas which is actually only a short promenade along the shore. However, it’s a great gateway to natural treasures like the Islas Ballestas, Peru’s Galapagos Islands.
Every morning, the tour boats leave the village and show the visitors the undisturbed wildlife on these rocks. Sea lions, flocks of different birds, and even groups of penguins are greeting from the shores.
This Way to the Whole Story ->This is a guide to the white city of Arequipa from where a day trip to the Colca Canyon is indispensable.
After all, it’s like they say: El Condor Pasa….
This Way to the Whole Story ->This is a guide to Puno, a town on the shores of lake Titicaca from where you can visit the self-made Uros islands and the mesmerizing Isla Taquile where the men are knitting hats’n’gloves with the most varied patterns.
However, you might want to prepare yourself for some annoying altitude sickness since Puno is more than 3,800 meters above sea level – so don’t hold your breath.
This Way to the Whole Story ->A guide to Cusco, the gateway to fantastic places such as the Sacred Valley, Sacsayhuamán, Ollantaytambo, and, of course, Machu Picchu.
But the city of Cusco as such is an extremely charming place, too. Therefore, here is an introduction to some places not to be missed.
