Tayrona National Park, Colombia

Not far from Santa Marta, ´Parc Tayrona´ is famous for its glorious beaches. It´s also home to immense fauna and flauna and I saw lots of interesting delights during my two days here, including this colourful jellyfish. Its an hour and a half hike through the park to get to the first campsite and the beaches are not much further. 

We slept in hammocks again and drunk ´ron´on the beach, gazing up at the moon...bliss.

We spent a few days in Lataunga and visited ´Parque Nacional Cotopaxi´ with the dam right, astonishing ´Volcan Cotopaxi.´ Ecuador´s second highest peak, this bad boy sits at 5897m. We drove to base camp and that was cold enough for us. 

We did hike around ´Laguna de Limpiopungo ( 3830m) which was a pleasant walk with a few horses to say hello to along the way. 

Banos, Ecuador

05.01.13

Set in a valley surrounded by glorious green mountains, Banos is quite enticing. There is a beautiful waterfall nearby and lots of thermal springs. 

We climbed the ´Bellavista, a huge cross sitting on top of one of the mountains. It was pretty steep but the views were worth it. 

Huaraz, Lake 69 Trek - Peru

18.12.12 

My amigo Sam and I decided on trekking to ´Laguna 69´, set amongst the Cordillera Blanca over 4000m high. 

After we were given extremely basic directions we set out on our 3 hour trek to the lake. Luckily we spotted a tour group and followed them most of the way, otherwise we would have gotten completely lost! The trek was tough in this altitude and we also had to jump a few rivers along the way.

The lake was the most incredible colour but unfortunately far too cold to take a dip. After 20 minutes of so, the weather changed entirely and began hailing. I made a speedy, downhill escape  back to the trees. 

Salt Flats, Uyuni

08.12.12

We spent three days in our jeep visiting Salar de Uyuni, Laguna Colorada, Sol de Manana and Laguna Verde. The landscape was so different and diverse it was like driving through different worlds, with each having their own piece of magic. Even our hotel was made of Salt!
