I went on to Chihuahua and then slowly headed south towards Mexico City again, stopping in beautiful towns on the way like Zacatecas and Guanajuato. There you can dance through the streets at night with a musicband (Callejoneade), eat yummy mexican food and marvel at colonial architecture between colourful houses. Returning to Mexico City I had a week left, which you can spend here very easily: loads of museums like the "blue house" of Frida Kahlo, many different quarters to discover, and once again: yummy food in all those "Taquerias"... unfortunally it was raining every day a bit, but I found that Tequila is the best medicine ever if you have a cold.We also went to the pyramids of Teotihuacan one day, as you can hardly miss out on them when you are here....well, and that's it !!!!

I passed Mexico City and headed north towards Los Mochis, to board the famous "Chepe" - the train that runs between the pacific coast and the town of Chihuahua. We headed through flat land first, fields of small sunflowers and corn, later loads of cacti and yellow dry grass, and then we passed the first tunnels and marveled at the beautiful landscape of canyons and rivers. I didn't go all the way to Chihuahua but stopped in the little village of Creel on the way to have a closer look at the Copper Canyon the next day. </div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-2118840357854130522011-06-11T16:04:00.000-07:002011-06-11T19:55:08.240-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvZ83OgLduUjwxJ-hX8AX-qet3tgrJ7FX2mzHjwxi6PfvCd1P6W2BnlxoAK8GdN3GF1iWkowFY45MzHi3BXqnlTeG4X2t0szB9BcBxH2NO6lg_icMUmzCts9ogldKRxhRmBWgm/s1600/DSC05044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvZ83OgLduUjwxJ-hX8AX-qet3tgrJ7FX2mzHjwxi6PfvCd1P6W2BnlxoAK8GdN3GF1iWkowFY45MzHi3BXqnlTeG4X2t0szB9BcBxH2NO6lg_icMUmzCts9ogldKRxhRmBWgm/s400/DSC05044.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghOYbW1c4M3OUTtH4N-oxD6oaWtxvccVP5z6xlet7aTYq9kn463_eamnwy7RHA7tAtoMrfR2neWizuTj-Nlo3QnBh0FjNT4dzFP-6OWH6ZxSf7wNQwI_rGcGvRkAWE5do-9KDg/s1600/DSC05051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghOYbW1c4M3OUTtH4N-oxD6oaWtxvccVP5z6xlet7aTYq9kn463_eamnwy7RHA7tAtoMrfR2neWizuTj-Nlo3QnBh0FjNT4dzFP-6OWH6ZxSf7wNQwI_rGcGvRkAWE5do-9KDg/s200/DSC05051.JPG" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmL_VOYgs1fLxSWz130ZZDG2YqfbojO5gCd77WWEhtQZySccrJv6httLcoi9rrBD4oe68lWDdD3uK8EJws1xiSPL8UxEMkTFQ8pR3Jp39iulGiwSC-NHdPt9KhsrAiJ2ZY2Na/s1600/DSC05047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmL_VOYgs1fLxSWz130ZZDG2YqfbojO5gCd77WWEhtQZySccrJv6httLcoi9rrBD4oe68lWDdD3uK8EJws1xiSPL8UxEMkTFQ8pR3Jp39iulGiwSC-NHdPt9KhsrAiJ2ZY2Na/s200/DSC05047.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />

But not a problem - that online-form for entering the US just needs 10 minutes to fill out, right? Well, yes - but there is no internetcafe to be found (at least not before check-in) on the BOGOTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, and being one of the rare and almost extincted species of travelers without internet-facilities implemented, I set myself quite a challenge. Anyway, I made it to Cancun, just stayed long enough to hike around the "Isla de Mujeres" and watch some giant turtels in the turquois waters. I headed on to Merida, and spend a day at the nearby Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza - impressive, although crowded and too many vendors that sell souvenirs for "almost free". The "zona arqueological" near Palenque/Chiapas, a small town an overnight-busride southwest, actually gives you the opportunity to climb up the steep stairs of the pyramids, while you can spot tucans in the surrounding jungle. The next stop on my journey was "San Cristobal de las Casas": brightly coloured houses, churches with richly ornamented facades, many streetmarkets and locals selling their goods on the pavement. Also exploring the surrounding villages- especially "San Juan Chamula"- was very interesting: althrough the Hispanic introduced Catholicism, the indigenous managed to preserve their Mayan customs - with a form of Catholicism that leans heavily towards Pagan. There are no services in the church as we know them. You see the locals kneeling in front of lines of burning candles, placing offerings like "posh" ( local moonshine, not bad if it is flavoured ) or coca-cola.We saw shamans healing people with a rite that includes swinging a chicken over the candles, then sliding it over the sick persons body to take off the illness, followed by breaking the chickens neck. The nearby "Cañon del Sumidero" was certainly worth a visit aswell, not only an impressive canyon, but also a good place to spot wildlife like birds, crocodiles and monkeys. I continued to the town of Oaxaca, loads of things to see and do here aswell, like the cultural sites/ ruins of Monte Alban and Mitla.</div><h3 class="r" style="color: black; font-weight: normal;"><a class="l" href="http://yucatantoday.com/topics/chichen-itza"><i><i><br />

My last stop in Colombia: Cartagena de Indias - a beautiful place with lots of colonial architecture, wooden balconies, horsecarriages roaming the streets (chased by taxis) , the old town is partly surrounded by an old city wall, creole woman in colourful dresses selling fruits ( and pictures with them),a lot of bars on the plazas, steet performers at night....and loads of things to see and do: some fortresses nearby, you can go to ¨playa blanca¨ and enjoy some days in a hammock right next to the beach, paddle through some mangrove forest in a canoe or get all muddy in the volcano Totumo. <br />

We left on a jeep, passing several police officers on the way: one was checking our documents and joking how we plan to find the city when it is lost, another one accepted a handshake with some nicely folded-up money from our driver. That afternoon we started hiking for about 4 hours, mostly uphill through beautiful colombian landscape, we were pretty tired when we reached the hammock-camp that evening. The next day was very easy though, only 3 hours of hiking and crossing some rivers now and then, and we got spoiled with food. On the third day we finally reached the lost city/ Teyuna - which I found quite spread out and impressive. And as the hiking turned out to be quite easy, one of the chinese girls decided to make it a bit more challenging by twisting her ankle on the next day on the way back - this was supposed to be a day with 3,5 hours of hiking in the morning and 3 hours of walking in the afternoon - and while we could kind of keep up with the others of the group in the morning, as some guides carried her for a bit of the way, chasing down a hill with neckbreaking speed while I could just try to run after them to catch up with them later, the afternoon hike turned out to be a torture - me, her and our guide needed 6 hours, making it to the camp just after sunset, the guide staying behind often to rest as he was carrying 2 backpacks, leaving us to cross the small rivers by ourselves. Well, at least I got to see a lot of animals: a group of tucans that sounded like pigs up in trees, poisonous snakes, a tarantula, a crab, moths and butterflies... and I had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. The last day the chinese girl got a mule, which we were all chasing, so we were very fast that day. After resting for a day in Santa Marta I had a look at the fishing village of Taganga and then headed on to Tayrona National Park - where we were greeted by a crocodile and a bunch of crabs, beautiful beaches in front of palm trees and lush vegetation and some monkeys that were chasing each other next to a mango tree.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-14143356299407059132011-05-17T15:24:00.000-07:002011-05-18T07:55:21.629-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

There are many tombs with statues in the surrounding, which you can visit on horseback. I went on to a village called Villa de Leyva, once more cobblestoned streets and white buildings, they were filming a historic telenovela on the main square when we were there - quite interesting to watch, as many people in town were dressed up in custumes and added to the colonial flair of the town, you really felt like 300 years back in time when the spanish were buzzing around, conquering places.... We did a bicycle-tour, bumping through the town first and exploring the countryside later on. We also did some hikes to see some waterfalls, rivers and cascades.</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-30119355314619881862011-05-02T14:34:00.000-07:002011-05-03T10:19:01.540-07:00<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirlUjXwhKbfOexAerBFfHq8Z5e_zoxrRZ-k5SWKibhbmX73RU4xcJH0MRcpiOaKC7ZtRDPLZ45IYokpTpJ8h2kGxJARdrMbXrw6rcUcC2mcbN8nBsnihpez_bM_Cv0PnGrlFkT/s1600/A+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirlUjXwhKbfOexAerBFfHq8Z5e_zoxrRZ-k5SWKibhbmX73RU4xcJH0MRcpiOaKC7ZtRDPLZ45IYokpTpJ8h2kGxJARdrMbXrw6rcUcC2mcbN8nBsnihpez_bM_Cv0PnGrlFkT/s200/A+002.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-mdaT2SIdTvhInEjaX6g74V3g65MISYn_0sxTENgAeGc1r-5WVsto-_OGUQGbh24O6rUOM4HVJJxof7BuWlxAEmUBUI1PmGa_44OqeF3yY7BoVo5hWCxsvsU2KO10oi94XW1/s1600/DSC04657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-mdaT2SIdTvhInEjaX6g74V3g65MISYn_0sxTENgAeGc1r-5WVsto-_OGUQGbh24O6rUOM4HVJJxof7BuWlxAEmUBUI1PmGa_44OqeF3yY7BoVo5hWCxsvsU2KO10oi94XW1/s200/DSC04657.jpg" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirlUjXwhKbfOexAerBFfHq8Z5e_zoxrRZ-k5SWKibhbmX73RU4xcJH0MRcpiOaKC7ZtRDPLZ45IYokpTpJ8h2kGxJARdrMbXrw6rcUcC2mcbN8nBsnihpez_bM_Cv0PnGrlFkT/s1600/A+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAV-VWUwpBM5a6QuXNoEf3b3jI6rVjc2st5WyjXom7DPR8w3eNXloRtCKeu8phrazNQDnfgaWGcZgRQkGaoL0g2BXpBJrlDiIMwjMtf9489gOKSQbx-csh0ibes-7yMS3lcAuC/s1600/DSC04659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAV-VWUwpBM5a6QuXNoEf3b3jI6rVjc2st5WyjXom7DPR8w3eNXloRtCKeu8phrazNQDnfgaWGcZgRQkGaoL0g2BXpBJrlDiIMwjMtf9489gOKSQbx-csh0ibes-7yMS3lcAuC/s200/DSC04659.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9VeeuKTZV-nAw97jZoizswMdsvBZ11acXSL8AFj5JLi2KN0bJ482wEYoC8b56VAiaB2VTcPVlukPqrXeCEidi8e8xSD5fP3DPZ8KVqnI9EfSKZsADG0Y2xSIer2VJWfMFhO2/s1600/DSC04635.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9VeeuKTZV-nAw97jZoizswMdsvBZ11acXSL8AFj5JLi2KN0bJ482wEYoC8b56VAiaB2VTcPVlukPqrXeCEidi8e8xSD5fP3DPZ8KVqnI9EfSKZsADG0Y2xSIer2VJWfMFhO2/s200/DSC04635.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><br />

Actually, that was the last place where I took pictures - I headed to Sao Paulo afterwards to catch a flight to LaPaz/Bolivia - the last 2 weeks were a bit of revival and first goodbye to southamerica in one. Returning to colourful, lively bolivia, where loads of people were roaming the nightly streets of LaPaz when I arrived, all those typical bolivian faces. I hurried on to Cuzco / Peru for easter / semana santa. I had most of my meals in the market, sitting at one of those foodstalls between peruvians while I could see "gringos" in the alleyways walking by, carefully holding on to their belongings, trying not to touch anything or be touched by anything while snatching pictures. And all those yummy fruits you could buy there, how I missed that! For easter, there were many processions all around town, there was one procession passing the place were I was staying, and as the family of that place had put up something like a little altar ( like many more along the streets), the procession stopped in front of the house, the "Christ" they were carrying around in a coffin was turned towards the altar and many prayers followed. I also saw lots of parades and lively dances that would have been great photo-opportunities. I left tuesday after easter for a 5 day- bus-odyssey through the whole of Peru and Ecuador again...passing through Lima on the way to catch up with friends, heading on to the dusty north, changing busses for a last time in Peru in the town of Piura, whose busy and chaotic main street made me head right on to the next place the first time I passed there- now it just made me grin, while I tried to cross the street to race to another busterminal. And then, as we turned slowly toward the mountains of Ecuador, the landscape turned green again - and you certainly will never starve on a bus in ecuador, with all those vendors hopping on and off, selling potatochips, fruits, drinks, chococate and all kind of local food- also the people were very friendly and in a good mood, reminding me why ecuador was one of my favorite countries right from the start - I passed through Loja, on to Cuenca and saw many more familiar places on the way to Quito, where I got yesterday evening just in time to have a look over the nightly city from that rooftop-terrace, just as I had on my first evening in southamerica.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF0CFUg3-YtSHbDjD8fh2GpMg2c0DbQDf80o1HozFzJZCcAhLApeuSJ_n8p5kM9M1f2h_GFEvJWJJ6wx8KhbMV2WjrrwUCrcNprMg9uMcuma9y9hh2xeybAAb4Zj2KYSQyI0Q4/s1600/DSC04657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-6718307876245539912011-04-15T12:44:00.000-07:002011-04-22T07:29:05.544-07:00<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinnSmqIZ5LKaF7uCMpit9YJaXcgxwNht3umB9rhYE7ANBH7_ex3FlJOTxinYaX-CVkvnoMCVydGvWghn2CwLVWXfCPefAXWJImMajBdxkYD2Wc-MZ7p8v9c_qpQqjusDiDZ4H2/s1600/DSC04576.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinnSmqIZ5LKaF7uCMpit9YJaXcgxwNht3umB9rhYE7ANBH7_ex3FlJOTxinYaX-CVkvnoMCVydGvWghn2CwLVWXfCPefAXWJImMajBdxkYD2Wc-MZ7p8v9c_qpQqjusDiDZ4H2/s400/DSC04576.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I traveled north to Campo Grande, to get to the Pantanal, the wetlands I always wanted to see since I heard of them as a teenager. Leaving the spanish-speaking world behind and beeing surrounded by new sounds, I have to admit that I felt a bit lost....anyway, I made it to the Pantanal, and being the end of the rainy season, waste areas were still flooded, so you could just get around by boat for most parts, with the tops of the fences sticking out of the water for orientation. Huge birds accompanied us on our way: caracaras, macaws and vultures, the last ones finding rich feeding in the corpses of dead cattle ( and even a horse) whose obviously hadn´t survived the last downpour. Caimans were crossing in front of us, and we waded along some now islandlike spots to spot more wildlife like wild pigs, deer, howler monkeys and armadillos clustering there. We also did some Piranha- fishing, which was quite funny: the first spot we went to we didn´t have any success accept that the piranhas obviously liked our feet more than the bait, so we went to another spot further out were we fished from the boat - our guide was able to get 2 smaller piranhas after he concentrated and tried hard, but his success was immediately forgotten when a dutch lady got 3 huge fish out of the water in a row, making the whole boat shake with excitement ( and almost tip over). Well, and I was lucky enough to get one piranha aswell ( as you can see on the pic, lucky guy- he got released after a bit of a photosession). I really enjoyed my time there, sleeping in a hammock under the clear sky full of stars, welcoming the morning with all those birds coming to life and afterwards hearing the howler monkeys at a distance. I got stuck in a little place nearby called Bonito for a couple of days before finally heading to Rio de Janeiro, where I spend the last couple of days. Certainly not enough time to really get to know this city, but at least I had a look at those fabulous beaches, some were unexpectedly empty- what a stunning setting for such a big city!!! I went up to the famous Christo Redentor- statue, from where you have an amazing view ( even though it was a bit foggy) over the city and the `Sugar Loaf´, also went out for a night of `Samba` in a part of town called Lapa, and had a look at the favela `Rocinha`.</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-81329302445138406712011-04-04T08:20:00.000-07:002011-04-04T09:34:39.279-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzRYLuJS9qDZHkFOo7gNEuSa7XZoIJyaM_koXIaM8XvnOypczDi_Hw-Q851RuC2xVn3OWEZC4NoYQzQ3yWaHraOqovG1uX1zm5eOPzpRwJXE2eGvjdbRyArT7OUya-YFGGOHZ/s1600/DSC04437.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzRYLuJS9qDZHkFOo7gNEuSa7XZoIJyaM_koXIaM8XvnOypczDi_Hw-Q851RuC2xVn3OWEZC4NoYQzQ3yWaHraOqovG1uX1zm5eOPzpRwJXE2eGvjdbRyArT7OUya-YFGGOHZ/s400/DSC04437.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I set out for a daytrip to the nearby Jesuit ruins, the people were very nice and helpful, organising me a mototaxi to race from one of the ruins to another across the red soil of rural Paraguay. I went on to Ciudad del Este, to cross over to Puerto Iguazu/Argentina, which was a bit of a struggle, as we almost missed out on hopping off the bus at the paraguayan immigration office to get our exit stamps, and then we struggled on, taking some more busses, passing through Brazil as illegals for 10 minutes before entering Argentina. Well, what to do in Puerto Iguazu.... see the waterfalls, of course! I went to see them from the argentinian side first, and travelled on to Foz do Iguacu the next day, to see them from the brasilian side aswell. There is no way to describe this place, you have to see it with your own eyes. It took me a while to get to the falls though, as I got completely absorbed by all those fascinating colourful butterflies that are buzzing around you over there, and even land on the tip of your nose if you stand still for a while.....</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-80228209818962479552011-03-26T14:05:00.000-07:002011-03-26T14:58:11.885-07:00<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvVQFvXp9VTCkVkzrbLJzEg8JZqwRedOAqIOXMHOaHUrHw2icQv_VJ_wpXwx9vT2YivMYgZeMczQOf19BrgvMdiErym_e5A91OODvhW1gTBGwFwSnOaD-djGZlGUGjqZVLOwU/s1600/Imagen+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvVQFvXp9VTCkVkzrbLJzEg8JZqwRedOAqIOXMHOaHUrHw2icQv_VJ_wpXwx9vT2YivMYgZeMczQOf19BrgvMdiErym_e5A91OODvhW1gTBGwFwSnOaD-djGZlGUGjqZVLOwU/s200/Imagen+004.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLdjMWkHJsjN_S5lxG6e1prtbpWPJCc99iYOIm4dgDeP6IFqyQ1pLwdwidSJpSxYP8N8UywbgFPLnBZLvbvZYe2HPmg3bus_acNL0N5lHxEgSE_nFxjvdjFVSn1ysNpLYTBt6/s1600/Imagen+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoLdjMWkHJsjN_S5lxG6e1prtbpWPJCc99iYOIm4dgDeP6IFqyQ1pLwdwidSJpSxYP8N8UywbgFPLnBZLvbvZYe2HPmg3bus_acNL0N5lHxEgSE_nFxjvdjFVSn1ysNpLYTBt6/s200/Imagen+002.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

It just takes a short ferryride from Buenos Aires to get to Uruguay, to the town Colonia del Sacramento. You certainly realise why the "barrio historico" - the historic quarter of the town makes it a tourist attraction: cobblestoned streets, an old lighthouse, and those oldfashioned street laterns everywhere....if I ever thought argentinians were crazy about their "mate", then I don't know how I could possibly increase this decription to make it appropriate for the uruguayans: whereever you go, you see people carrying mate-cups and thermos - in the parcs, in supermarkets, in bars, while repairing their motorbikes ( onehanded, of course) or selling veggies at the market, while having a walk or a little chat in the evening.....I also went to Montevideo, and on to Punta del Diablo, a little village with nice beaches nearby. From there, I went to nearby Santa Theresa, which is a nationalpark with a little fortress ( which was unfortunally closed ) and a lot of remote and stunning beaches ( were I could spend some time instead ;0)). Leaving the coast behind, I traveled further into the county, to a place called Tacuarembo, which you wouldn't find on any touristic map if it weren't for the nearby birthplace of tangolegend Carlos Gardel. It feels good, though, to be at a nontouristy place again where I'm forced to torture people with my 3-words-of-spanish and where you can get dropped off by busses in places in the middle of nowhere that are so peaceful and remote that even horses are having naps next to the roadside.</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-58078115267932211292011-03-13T21:01:00.000-07:002011-03-17T13:13:31.106-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTe5WXPBFsjs4bV0rf-UHge2FwW3lnshReyxYoC3IokkXjujxaBGbEtX78X4k5qvzgjRVtkbhdHLY2SNpcUr0x8eDxKnqiBfc5jhyphenhyphen0ejLNKI93zFemUSCZ4PPGry54FiBf7_qi/s1600/DSCN6732.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTe5WXPBFsjs4bV0rf-UHge2FwW3lnshReyxYoC3IokkXjujxaBGbEtX78X4k5qvzgjRVtkbhdHLY2SNpcUr0x8eDxKnqiBfc5jhyphenhyphen0ejLNKI93zFemUSCZ4PPGry54FiBf7_qi/s200/DSCN6732.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8G4HBJZ6ZweE9j2DFdXDwyksYkyoTOaTyWTcbO0A2Ny4sptGmq4kaOix6x1F0NrShRkqRROerKzg6h5BNZBDhZHwxFR9C1DS7c85VRtVNx7yH8JIMXdXw0GUvWV9ZwwMRmLcg/s1600/DSCN6748.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8G4HBJZ6ZweE9j2DFdXDwyksYkyoTOaTyWTcbO0A2Ny4sptGmq4kaOix6x1F0NrShRkqRROerKzg6h5BNZBDhZHwxFR9C1DS7c85VRtVNx7yH8JIMXdXw0GUvWV9ZwwMRmLcg/s200/DSCN6748.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><br />

Within the hours of that bustrip the weather changed several times from darkclouded and rainy to blue sky and sun,and a huge rainbow was appearing right in front of us, you could see both ends, it seemed like a big gate welcoming us. I loved that peaceful town next to the "beagle channel", the light there-especially around sunset-was very special, and the surrounding was stunning aswell, I went to the nationalpark "Tierra del Fuego" and Laguna Esmeralda for some hikes. I flew to Buenos Aires- amazing what distances you can cover in 3 hours in a plane!!! I started wondering how I would manage in such a big town after traveling in remote Patagonia for so long, but this last week here in Buenos Aires was just awesome, I don't know where time went and feel sad when thinking of leaving tomorrow! Of course I explored the different quarters of the town: "Recoleta" with that famous cemetery; central BA with the Avenida Mayo that connects the congress with the "Casa Rosada" aswell as some shopping-streets that you just can't resist; "Palermo" with it's bars,restaurants and parcs; "La Boca" with that soccer stadium and colourful houses ( and kitschy puppets on the ballonies) around the Caminito area ( where Maradonna is everywhere) and last but not least "San Telmo", where you find loads of Tangobars and Restaurants with ancient flair clustered in the cobblestoned streets. But what made it special to me was having locals to show me around: we had a nightly picnic in a parc in Palermo, went to some suburbs on the bus ( going by bus in Buenos Aires is quite a challenge, even the locals have this little "livesaver"-book that lists all the busses and where they are passing by) to have some yummy homemade food at someones house; also we went to a fantastic restaurant to have some argentinian meat which lacks any comparison, then went to the historic "Cafe Tortoni" for a tangoshow and today to a Milonga (dancing hall), where we sneaked into an "Open Dancing" and marvelled at locals dancing tango before we got our first tangolesson ourselfes- brilliant!!!!</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-46765838494480194572011-02-28T12:02:00.000-08:002011-02-28T14:46:02.618-08:00<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

We hiked the well known "W"-trail, adding some extra days for the most beautiful parts of it to make sure that we actually see the park, as the weather is just unpredictable (but we were so lucky with the weather, having only 2 days of rain on days where we could deal with it best ).We did the trek west to east - starting at the glacier Grey, hiking up into the Valle del Frances on a sunny day while leaving it the next day with the fog crawling into the valley and hugging the mountains tight so you could see nothing when looking back ....and ending the trek in front of the 3 "Torres del Paine".tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-59089516716043880982011-02-18T07:32:00.000-08:002011-02-18T08:11:28.024-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrSIy7vFkllNr1NmbvmDo5sxUgWF5PZSHkc7PDoED57uIJ7yWTuWiN0reQxZzD6wsgLJi3HTnglGaDCr1I7B3HqkM4EYDlZAj5bbPO9MMIphbacGQYZnZtuMP4fCYOSIC8Iti/s1600/dsc03827.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVrSIy7vFkllNr1NmbvmDo5sxUgWF5PZSHkc7PDoED57uIJ7yWTuWiN0reQxZzD6wsgLJi3HTnglGaDCr1I7B3HqkM4EYDlZAj5bbPO9MMIphbacGQYZnZtuMP4fCYOSIC8Iti/s400/dsc03827.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I boarded the ferry "Don Baldo" - leaving Chiloe behind on the journey further south..I watched the shoreline passing by before sunrise the next morning, breathing in the fresh morning air, and when we arrived in Puerto Chacabuco in the evening after a 26-hour trip, the mountains you saw ashore had white peaks. I raced to Coyhaique, from where I explored the surrounding during the next days: Hiking in the Coyhaique National Reserve, and one day we drove down the famous "Carretera Austral" through stunning rugged landscape all the way to Puerto Tranquilo at the shore of Lago General Carrera, where we took a little boat out to see the marvelous "Capilla de Marmol"- beautyful caves and rock formations. Well, sooner or later I managed to leave Coyhaique behind, traveling down to the little village of Chile Chico to cross back into Argentina the next morning, and then taking a bus from Los Antiquos down the "Ruta40" to El Chalten - the whole day nothing but argentinian steppe till finally the impressive "Fitz Roy" and "Torre" mountainranges appeared at the horizon. And luckily I had amazing sunshine the next days to hike to the "Lago Torre" / enjoy the stunning panorama, also when I went further down to El Calafate and the magnificent glacier "Perito Moreno" yesterday.</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-82843234100094699032011-02-07T15:50:00.000-08:002011-02-16T13:07:52.328-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I kept heading south - ZIGZAGGING between Chile and Argentina: I went to Valdivia in Chile, where I ran into a german "Bierfest" - what else would you expect here, german settlements, immigrants and influences everywhere !! Then I crossed the border once more to get to Bariloche in Argentina to do some more hikes in the lake-district.

I traveled westward to Mendoza, when I arrived shortly after noon all the shops closed for a siesta of 4 hours to escape from the heat, probably to have a picnic in one of the shady parcs, definitly to have some MATE, a funny sight to see all those people carrying around their MATE-cup in one hand and a thermo with hot water in the other, sipping from it now and then. I crossed the Andes to get into Chile once more - SANTIAGO! I quite liked the city: the artist quarter Bellavista, one of the shiplike houses of Neruda, la Moneda, nightly projections of art upon the Mapocho-river......I also went to the habourtown of Valparaiso: colourful houses on hillsides overlooking the bay, some of them really seem to be hold together by the paint only -the mixture of colour and decay giving it a special flair, even the dogs and cats ( and there are maaany of them) seem to be more charismatic than elsewhere. I walked across the market ( all that fresh fish!), went on a little habourcruise and walked up and down the hills afterwards. I took one of those old lifts once, feeling like in a little wooden shoebox as we got up one of the hillsides. I had a look at another of Nerudas houses over there- what a view over the bay and the whole Valparaiso! I finally made it to the lake district, a place called Pucon, you really can´t blame the Chileanos to choose it as a holiday destination. The vulcano Villarrica greats you with some smoke, and there are nice hikes in the nearby Parque National Huerquehue. For a stunning, beautiful view of the surrounding vulcanos and mountains I hiked up to a "mirador" in the Cañi- sanctuary, accompanied by the dog of the information center who obviously had chosen me to take him for a walk that day.tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-52124658237063531852011-01-17T08:54:00.000-08:002011-04-22T07:39:31.806-07:00<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></div><div style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">I stayed in the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama/Chile for a couple of days to see the surrounding marvelous landscape, especially the "Valle de la Luna" with the vulcanos of the Andes ( the dominating "Licancabur") as a beautyful background and the amazing sky filled with stars at night. I crossed over to Argentina, to a city called Salta, strolling over the main plaza with nice cafes and restaurants certainly made you feel a bit shabby in your old backpacker clothes. The nearby city of Cafayate is surrounded by wineyards, I certainly eared a new pair of shoes there, walking a lot. I went to see the Ruinas de Quilmes ( and the wide land filled with cactuses), I started early in the morning, and it was a nice walk while the sun rose, I saw some birds flying over my head that somehow reminded me of the macaws that I saw in Peru, cows were staring at the "early" visitor (me) as I was passing by, a big hairy spider crossed the dusty street right in front of me - the way back with the sun further up in the sky was a bit more sweaty. In the afternoon I walked to some nearby river to cool off a bit, but getting there took quite a while, and I felt relieved when I finally got there and could put my feet in the cold stream. Another bustrip brought me to Cordoba while the heat was increasing. From there I made a daytrip to the little town of "Alta Gracia" to see the "Museo de Che", and one evening we went to "Jesus Maria" for the Festival of "Doma y Forklore", nice to see all the gaucho dressed up in smashing clothes, there were bands playing music while gauchos struggled with wild horses, even staying on their backs when they went down to the ground.... not to forget the awesome smell of grilled meat from countless BBQ's stands everywhere and other traditional food.</span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />

I rushed from one bolivian town to the next - La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, without really warming up to any of them. Finally, I found a great hammock in the little village of Samaipata. There's an archaeologica site called "El Fuerte" 9 km out of the village where I hiked to one day, the last part of the way the image of that local that saw me leave on food and just said "pero el calor!!!!!" haunted me, but I made it! I also had a glimpse on the Amboro National Park nearby. Another remarkable bustrip brought me to Sucre - the white city -, where I spend Christmas and New Years Eve, there are certainly worse places to get stuck at in Bolivia. I passed through the mining town of Potosi on my way to Uyuni, where most of the trips to the "Salar" start, which I thought would be a Bolivia-highlight and a good way to leave Bolivia ( and it certainly was). The Salar was stunning, nothing but white as far as you can see, but I also liked the EPIC desert landscapes that followed: some little vicuñas almost blending in with the background with their brown fur, and in the distance mountains with a mixture of colours ( vulcanic sediments) - milky white,caramel,yellow,red and different shades of brown blending into each other. And of course there were all those "lagunas", most impressive the "Laguna Colorada" with loads of flamingos , also vulcanos and geysirs to marvel at. I crossed the border into Chile at a little remote outpost and just arrived at the "touristvillage" of San Pedro de Atamacatochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-89497773338742161672010-12-24T07:40:00.000-08:002010-12-24T07:43:11.822-08:00Wie jede Blüte welkt und jede Jugend<br />
Dem Alter weicht, blüht jede Lebensstufe,<br />
Blüht jede Weisheit auch und jede Tugend<br />
Zu ihrer Zeit und darf nicht ewig dauern.<br />
Es muß das Herz bei jedem Lebensrufe<br />
Bereit zum Abschied sein und Neubeginne,<br />
Um sich in Tapferkeit und ohne Trauern<br />
In andre, neue Bindungen zu geben<br />
Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne,<br />
Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.<br />
<br />
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten,<br />
An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen,<br />
Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen,<br />
Er will uns Stuf' um Stufe heben, weiten.<br />
Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise<br />
Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen,<br />
Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise,<br />
Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.<br />
<br />
Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde<br />
Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden,<br />
Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden...<br />
Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, it felt a bit like running from Cusco or running out of money, but I could hardly leave without having seen Machu Picchu, could I? I got myself on a Sacred Valley tour, maybe a bit too much of a tourist shock after returning from the remote ManuNationalPark. The first place we stopped at was a town called Pisac-althrough it was sunday, there was not much left of the traditional market- the tourist market had taken over completely many years ago...well from Cusco I've been used to people dressed up in traditional clothing with lamas behind them, their first word not being "Hola", but "Do you want a picture with a lama?" - but here on the market I saw a mother dressing up her little girl- ohh sooo cute in traditional clothing with a nice hat - , then putting a lama baby up to the girls chest, slapping the lama to get it in the right position - the expression on the girls face certainly put me off taking pictures of any of those kids. And while the kid was send off for tourist snapshots ( she was barely around the corner when the first tourists couldn't resist), the mother was dressing up her second, even younger daughter. Another woman asked me if I want to take a pic of her baby - I just felt the urge to run from this place......the Inka- ruins were impressive though, even more the ones at the beautyful town of Ollantaytambo, although the weather started to get nasty, and when I got off the train in Aqua Caliente ( the place near MachuPicchu ) that evening, all that I could do was put up my wet clothes to dry and hope for better weather for the next day. I made it to the bus station shortly before 4:30 the next morning and got one of the last seats on the first bus up to MachuPicchu at 5:30 - getting up that windy zig-zag-road revealed the stunning surrounding with every turn of the road, finally I arrived at MachuPicchu, and as there were only about 40 people who hiked up to the entrance that morning, it wasn't a problem to get one of those 400 stamps that allow you to climb Huaynapicchu, the mountain you see in the typical MachuPicchu-snapshot. Beeing at the ruins quite early, I enjoyed the view before the huge touristgroups arrived - and I can't say anything but that it's a magnificent, stunning, impressive, magic place, also I was lucky with the weather- blue skies and pure sunshine. Around noon I hiked up that mountain to enjoy the breathtaking view down on the town that indeed has the shape of a condor. I returned to Cusco and went on to Puno at the Lake Titicaca, I explored some of the islands on the lake, like the floating islands of the Uros people, the Taquile Island and the "Isla de la sol" on the bolivian side of the lake. Obviously I made it to Bolivia, from Lake Titicaca I went on to LaPaz, didn't stay tooo long in that big city before I went on to the town of Cochabamba.</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-39491456213037883582010-12-04T15:13:00.000-08:002010-12-04T17:22:54.653-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaA7bD1sLv1vHK8bZFDvJCSceYXO0kXTHQoz14Dej5O0K8ocmDper4OmTgGVC58mGfstvfQAMG7qLW0-0CPekll5_emkz3cTBODNIeL1ZzGtnfp47Gs-I_yvZ5ncmwKGuxNWMH/s1600/B+156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaA7bD1sLv1vHK8bZFDvJCSceYXO0kXTHQoz14Dej5O0K8ocmDper4OmTgGVC58mGfstvfQAMG7qLW0-0CPekll5_emkz3cTBODNIeL1ZzGtnfp47Gs-I_yvZ5ncmwKGuxNWMH/s200/B+156.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2LiWAGntDSwGBqJR61zC7ragXNQ-jqJ5tU_gLVyXfwz2JQRkEUbXWqlmt8Sxb22h8YTGBZljEaQL5M7OGOup2xydimbQqfB6Oepb2eVrxLFtIKzzyhpHb0fImLRhQRE0mX9dL/s1600/B+154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2LiWAGntDSwGBqJR61zC7ragXNQ-jqJ5tU_gLVyXfwz2JQRkEUbXWqlmt8Sxb22h8YTGBZljEaQL5M7OGOup2xydimbQqfB6Oepb2eVrxLFtIKzzyhpHb0fImLRhQRE0mX9dL/s200/B+154.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From Arequipa I went on to Cusco, also a beautyful place, althrough the most touristy city in the whole of Peru. You can't walk 5 steps on the main square without at least 10 people jumping at you to offer massages or paintings. There are lovely small cobblestone streets to walk up to some higher points where you can have a good view over the city and down to the "Plaza de Armas". I was lucky to find a group to go to Manu National Park for a 8-day trip, making sure that we really get into the reserved zone instead of just lingering around the "buffer zone", as I wanted to get my share of primary rainforest. So the 3 of us + guide, cook and driver set out for a bit of a jungle adventure. First we passed through cloudforest and saw the "Cock of the Rock", the red male birds of that species seemed to dance with each other. The next day we continued to "Port Atalaya", where we boarded a little ship to continue down the "Madre de Dios"- River, spotting capybaras ( giant guinea pigs) and lots of birds on the way. After arriving to the lodge for the day, we set out to explore the surrounding rainforest, first thing we discovered was a jaguar and a tapir trace. We walked to a clay place that is known for tapirs to show up eventually, but we didn't have any luck that night with spotting one, all we saw was a oppossum that made us all jump, taking it for a rat that passed right in front of our heads. The next morning we got on our boat before sunset and went to the MACAW CLAY LICK, where hundreds of birds stop to lick the clay to help them digest the seeds they eat. It's just not possible to capture with my camera what I saw there ( with the help of my binoculars and a good telescope) -lots of macaws, parrots, parakeets, hawks and a yellowheaded vulture. On the way back to the lodge we spotted lots of different monkeys far up in the high trees. In the evening we gave the Tapir clay lick another go, and we were rewarded by even spotting two tapirs. The next day we got ourselfes back on our boat, we left the "Madre de Dios"-River, and sailed up the Manu River to get into the Reserved Zone to our tented camp where more fauna and flora waited to be discovered: one day we set out on a little wooden catamaran on the salvatore lake to watch an otter-family having breakfast, a caiman was swimming along, and of course loads of colourful birds were passing by ( tucans,hoatzens). We did a lot of walks in the rainforest, had showers with the brown water of the river and on one day got our share of what the rainforest is named after. It was really a brilliant trip, I already miss the sounds of the jungle and the silhouetts of the macaws-birds passing over our heads.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I went to the "Mirador" instead to get at least a glimpse of the lines and had a funny busride back to town, sitting up with the driver like a figurehead behind the windscreen. I went on to Arequipa, probably one of the most beautiful cities in Peru, with glistening white buildings made of sillar (volcanic stone). I did a 3 day- trekking through the nearby Canyon de Colca. First, we went to a viewingpoint called Cruz del Condor. When we got there, loads of people were already there in hope of spotting a Condor....and after a while people started moving... a huge Condor was doing rounds above our heads, just as to make sure that everyone got a good picture of him, I swear I heard him chuckle up there at the sight of all those people "OOhhing" and "AAhhing" at the sight of him. We started to hike down into the canyon near a village called "Cabanaconde", spotted another condor on the way down,crossed the river at the bottom, stayed with a local family for a night, went on to learn about different plants and the local clothing, passing through small villages on the way and finally arrived at the oasis San Galle, where we lingered in the pool for the rest of the day. On the last day we left before sunrise to hike out of the canyon- a 3 hour hike up- (we resisted the temptation of getting our bums on a mule for the way up, but later rewarded ourselfes with stuffing ourselfes at a huge buffet that offered everything from alpaca, ceviche to cuy ) and on the way back to Arequipa we spotted lamas, alpacas, vicuñas and flamingos in the "national reserve of salinas and aqua blanca".tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-91813671033033437282010-11-17T18:35:00.000-08:002010-11-18T17:27:48.293-08:00<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9pX2_giFRXjy4NB60VdZTGzg4J31JL2q96HFsm_wwMvPjaQ3a_61ewX7cCtcwrONDqTrb6RTjt2NJ_5WIo3qP0Xq8hU6IoNw7UpOHZT36imSSEy0KOJ4M5geNwk5WL1IK7Cuz/s1600/A+131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9pX2_giFRXjy4NB60VdZTGzg4J31JL2q96HFsm_wwMvPjaQ3a_61ewX7cCtcwrONDqTrb6RTjt2NJ_5WIo3qP0Xq8hU6IoNw7UpOHZT36imSSEy0KOJ4M5geNwk5WL1IK7Cuz/s200/A+131.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiry7qTmut0j3Umqvymae7_uKZa2v1_5WpzpIG7nEE28LapGJo6y65jeiloBbokPa3q0p_9J6rzi7h-MAoQQXd0xTpOnor3g9sBd8M02N7qJI4ANI6dRw71qViEdKfWAlQt2AWG/s1600/A+134.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiry7qTmut0j3Umqvymae7_uKZa2v1_5WpzpIG7nEE28LapGJo6y65jeiloBbokPa3q0p_9J6rzi7h-MAoQQXd0xTpOnor3g9sBd8M02N7qJI4ANI6dRw71qViEdKfWAlQt2AWG/s200/A+134.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisMFaiLSi6dvFW3o09hjUGmkw-7NpnIacl8kLSZX4WWoVPtVm-VUoJBJxKA4abYdseIh3z9WNqFBJpGAP-AcafPmkLYrTgN151weqe5o3AtCQ-_cbdEVaYcw3tLrN0_nXmjS7b/s1600/A+121.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisMFaiLSi6dvFW3o09hjUGmkw-7NpnIacl8kLSZX4WWoVPtVm-VUoJBJxKA4abYdseIh3z9WNqFBJpGAP-AcafPmkLYrTgN151weqe5o3AtCQ-_cbdEVaYcw3tLrN0_nXmjS7b/s200/A+121.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9cIsCvtz6jREBpHalgpx5YGcHppiln9RL6ByMqeFqxiZFSrd58vBl6-E4ccOBoZ_nwNgkm3w_bckT94GrPpZVWdVRTc_55c9aDj13byEzOgIjhVX5TZJIfROGvjtnU2px1evQ/s1600/A+126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9cIsCvtz6jREBpHalgpx5YGcHppiln9RL6ByMqeFqxiZFSrd58vBl6-E4ccOBoZ_nwNgkm3w_bckT94GrPpZVWdVRTc_55c9aDj13byEzOgIjhVX5TZJIfROGvjtnU2px1evQ/s200/A+126.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMt2NkF6ESGOwSNvoFHuL0W_eDp5cOHZuVDKp3UjDJxRi6JHIofx-VKNQ-Mkn_iDhI1uVNTBkz7RL3qEizhlKHs_og3IqxbR9unRgTmWPGpZOVYlBN6wW6v78Kp5pKKD8FNRYj/s1600/A+116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMt2NkF6ESGOwSNvoFHuL0W_eDp5cOHZuVDKp3UjDJxRi6JHIofx-VKNQ-Mkn_iDhI1uVNTBkz7RL3qEizhlKHs_og3IqxbR9unRgTmWPGpZOVYlBN6wW6v78Kp5pKKD8FNRYj/s400/A+116.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After a sleepless night in an overnight-bus I made it to Huaraz and the "Cordilleras blancas". Considering the weather, I decided to do an one day hike to the Laguna 69. We got several camionettas/busses to get to the trailhead in the Huascarán National Park, passing different lakes whose colours varied from turquoise to a milky light blue. The sky was covered with clouds while I was struggeling to get up to 4.600 meters, moving at the speed of a sloth, thankful for every cascading waterfall along the way I could take a picture of. Well, I made it up to the lake just in time for the clouds to disappear and reveal the jagged, snowy mountains that back the lake and also the stunning mountainranges of this beautiful nationalpark. Needless to say that after enjoying the view for half an hour on the way back down it started to rain, by the time we got back to the road everything that wasn't covered by my emergency rainponcho was completely soaked. We flagged down a passing truck, got on the back and made our way out of the nationalpark, chased by clouds and fog. But it was definitely worth it. Another sleepless night in a bus and I made it to Lima, had a look around the town for a day, the most fascinating thing for me was to make it back to where I started in the morning on those variety of busses/minibusses. I couldn't warm up to the idea of staying on another overnight bus again just yet, so I decided to break the trip further down the Panamericana - I stopped at Huancachina, a little oasis in the middle of waste sand dunes - like a big playground, one of the places where the tourists must outnumber the locals, but it's quite a nice setting if you manage to ignore the rubbish lying around in the dunes and the sound of howling engines of the sandbuggies rushing down the dunes.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-58305984444520553692010-11-09T07:53:00.000-08:002010-11-09T16:10:18.366-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi20iVwNZXwYXrBoNdZkWV3jbp-JpmV68yuRKcaPjOoujn96Gnc2jPi__HciEm1NI1XD4BbEv5aVHrshEDi2QQKsWh__gQ1zRcJsJ7OKQ7hM6yNdWSI3LGGSas0aWuVvQpVr0Cv/s1600/A+080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi20iVwNZXwYXrBoNdZkWV3jbp-JpmV68yuRKcaPjOoujn96Gnc2jPi__HciEm1NI1XD4BbEv5aVHrshEDi2QQKsWh__gQ1zRcJsJ7OKQ7hM6yNdWSI3LGGSas0aWuVvQpVr0Cv/s200/A+080.jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8TFl9qrswCQlXQS3ejL3nr1jZcErIdlOIbGwJQzwsjxk-3cO48RLeU592th3n9ePVNpKDCTYdJ-AjntKUqYVfTHhHW4pMhf_h91OMdqXYKc-2wvEIGWV-HO8qZwE8oZam3wr/s1600/A+077.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8TFl9qrswCQlXQS3ejL3nr1jZcErIdlOIbGwJQzwsjxk-3cO48RLeU592th3n9ePVNpKDCTYdJ-AjntKUqYVfTHhHW4pMhf_h91OMdqXYKc-2wvEIGWV-HO8qZwE8oZam3wr/s200/A+077.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

Surely, the bus trips got longer than in Ecuador. Still love to go to the markets, and I always buy some fruits I've never seen before like PEPINO, BABACO, TAXO or GUAYABA to taste or make juices from. And of course, can`t help buying mangos all the time - so juicy that the juice keeps droping down to your elbows while eating them. Near Chachapoyas, there´s the pre-inca fortress of Kuelap to marvel at, and lots of sarcofarcos far up in the rocks. In Cajamarca I run into a bit of a fiesta on a main square, and students of an university performed dances in traditional dresses while lots of locals with huge hats were watching. Well, I made it to Trujillo, and went to the nearby beach town of Huanchaco today, to finally see the pacific! On or way back we had a look at Chan-Chan, another archeological site close to Trujillo, dusty remains of the Chimu-empire.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After finishing the volunteer work I headed back down to Riobamba and on to the beautiful town of Cuenca. I walked through the streets of town early on sunday morning, women were setting up stands with flowers, an old man shaved in front of the mirrow at the entrance of his panama-hat shop, women in tradicional colourful skirts were walking by the cathedral facing the "Parque Calderon". We found a nice bar where we spend a lot of time, too. Early monday morning I took a bus back up to Chunchi to join in for a hike to the "lost pyramid" of Puñay, certainly the highlight this week...we climbed up for about 2-3 hours till we reached a rock where you had an amazing view: the clouds were actuelly below, huging the surrounding mountains...we walked up the rest through "fields of gold" to the very top, where we camped out to see the sunset- with the clouds below- looking like a huge salt lake or a foaming ocean - STUNNING!!!!!! I didn't sleep much that night because it was quite cold and I was relieved when I finally saw the sun reappear behind the mountains in the morning, but it was soooo worth it !! I did quite a lot of hikes this week, I've been to several National Parks like Cajas and Podocarpus, spotting birds ( cheeky hummingbirds who would stop for a second right in front of you just to be off the very next moment) and just being out in nature ( the word relax doesn't fit though - too much hiking). The last place in Ecuador I've been to was Vilcabamba, were I did some horsebackriding, before I took a night bus to the peruvian border, sneaked across it at 3.15 this morning and headed straight to a city called Chiclayo, in dusty Peru......tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29857866.post-34185133478064377082010-10-22T10:00:00.000-07:002010-10-22T16:56:31.391-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxoUBVqHiK-fvU0ZkCdlffe-0WZR7FqglsxEAx6dcf6oPI9tfMGZujiu4mopgd6QdaaR8kHawgRKTw1Jv8RznMORXKB58tYt-mFFUQjVTue1i5VozukYO3vkB57Pf1dbyVjdE/s1600/animalrescuecenter+017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUxoUBVqHiK-fvU0ZkCdlffe-0WZR7FqglsxEAx6dcf6oPI9tfMGZujiu4mopgd6QdaaR8kHawgRKTw1Jv8RznMORXKB58tYt-mFFUQjVTue1i5VozukYO3vkB57Pf1dbyVjdE/s200/animalrescuecenter+017.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL1ajvzvXhkt3WTMXfv8etoFqCwYbp83X8TjRdyh76aZZQ4wXbNj0-1SxjaAwY9kscZEwkyTw2xIJ_Aha6AjhQtQnILi4dDDX6EDtrcBKluycilcTcx_6s1YIcCI-DSnNeZkbB/s1600/DSC02238hoch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL1ajvzvXhkt3WTMXfv8etoFqCwYbp83X8TjRdyh76aZZQ4wXbNj0-1SxjaAwY9kscZEwkyTw2xIJ_Aha6AjhQtQnILi4dDDX6EDtrcBKluycilcTcx_6s1YIcCI-DSnNeZkbB/s200/DSC02238hoch.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started to work in the "centro ecologico Zanjarajuno" east of Puyo 2 weeks ago and enjoyed it a lot. During the first week we ´ve been rebuilding paths (while the monkeys passed in the trees above us), which meant cleaning up the old path, carrying bags of gravel up and building boundaries by choping pieces of wood with a machete to stop the gravel from being washed away by heavy rain. Rain around noon told us that it´s lunchtime, and helped us to get rid of at least a bit of the dirt. We also fed the animals, lots of monkeys, a weasel, different parrots and turtles, aligators, a guanda ( looked like a huge rat), and - last but not least- a tapir ( the guy of the center was very concerned about that one,as it might be hunted and eaten by someone, so he went looking for it all the time ). Lot´s of funny scenes come into my mind when thinking of the animals....one of the monkeys picked up a glove, put it over his little hand and waved at us through the window.... once he managed to get into the house,he stole an egg and jumped up and down in amazement before he crashed the egg on the table....... a cheeky parrot jumped at our table and made us laugh, and as he was imitating us in a perfect way, we had to laugh even harder...a "cusumbo" visited us at night now and then to have a banana and a sip of water out of the toilett......other scenes are for others to tell......we fell asleep in company of cockroaches and mice to the sounds of the jungle and woke up to the sounds of monkeys banging at our roof. I spend the weekend in nearby Banos, a nice town surrounded by mountains. The road between Puyo and Banos is quite scenic, lots of waterfalls to have a look at and lush green vegetation. This week we did some reforestation - planted little plants along a path all the way down to a river ( the ecuadorians where singing all the time as loud as they could) and went for a refreshing swim in the river at noon, marveling at beautiful huge blue butterflies flying along the shore. One night after sunset we went out with 2 biologists in heavy rain and thunder to check on the population of a frog called "Atelopus spumarius" at a certain stretch of jungle, getting all muddy while making our way through the dark; also spotting other frogs, insects, moths, grashoppers and crickets and returning home somewhen after midnight.</div>tochterdeswindeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04433384507803914089noreply@blogger.com4
