“The crows assert that a single crow could destroy the heavens. This is certainly true, but it proves nothing against the heavens, because heaven means precisely: the impossibility of crows.” — F. Kafka Southern Patagonia is not characterized by significant urban settlements or human achievements. I don’t mean to say that there is a lack […]

Los Lagos

Los Lagos

Being stationary and very comfortable for a week at Lorraine’s place made us a bit itchy for the road, and we headed straight south without spending much time in Valparaiso or Santiago. At this part of the continent, there are a dozen or so large lakes distributed across both sides of the Andean mountains. Chile and Argentina […]

A Wild Life

If you find yourself walking on the Chilean coastline in a town called La Ballena a bit too far south, you would come across this cabin overlooking the Pacific Ocean. By that time, there would probably be three (or more) barking dogs running towards you. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t get intimidated […]

Bolivia

Bolivia

We’ve experienced Bolivia as an unusual place. A land of extremes. It felt raw. Situated on top of the mountains, almost touching the clouds, it hosts some of the highest settlements on earth. On 4000-5000m altitude the air is thin and dry, the sun and wind unforgiving. The landscapes are breath-taking. An array of surreal backdrops […]

Northern Peru

Northern Peru

The scorching heat of the desert, endless sand dunes, dry winds, barren rocky mountains… It all sounded like heaven after weeks of rain we had been through in Ecuador. We were looking forward to get to Peru and we got what we asked for. This is an Inca Orchid. An endemic Peruvian breed without any […]

Southern Ecuador

Southern Ecuador

We’re not really sure why, but Ecuador for us has been dotted with long stays separated with short drives. It could be the effect of almost constant rain, our need to connect somewhat deeper with the places we visited or even a feeling of safety and comfort wherever we went. Most likely, a combination of […]

Colombia

The city of Colon in Central America and Cartagena in South America are the two main ports connecting the divided continents. The water passage in between the two cities marked a new chapter on our journey. Here we all were, dumped onto a whole new continent to explore. South America! New scents filled the air. […]

Belize

Belize

Belize is a young country. It’s full of excitement, play, danger, immaturity, and growth. It used to be British Honduras 33 years ago. In fact, our arrival coincided with the anniversary of independence. Everyone in the country is attending these celebrations as if it was their own birthday. All 350.000 of them. This small country […]

Yucatan

Today is the seventeenth day of September. We can almost see Belize from our last camping spot in Mexico. Our life on the road is nearing three months. It’s clear to us now that this journey down to Patagonia is going to take longer than we expected. Crossing the border in Tijuana, it was hard […]

CDMX

If you live in a city, you consume it in such a way that it becomes impossible to see it from an outsider’s point of view. You create a personal map of it based on your needs, musts, memories and conveniences. Most urban dwellers never get to visit some sections of their city. In fact, […]
