Our first stop in Peru was Lima, with an added stop in Punta Hermosa on the Peruvian Coast! One of our main goals while in Lima/the coast was to find some surf for Jordy! Unfortunately the conditions weren’t very reliable, but he had a few good surfs in Punta Hermosa! Other than surfing, Punta Hermosa…
Our last stop in Ecuador was four days in Cuyabeno, a nature reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon. After a very, very long journey to Cuyabeno from Quito (we left Quito at 8.30pm and didn’t arrive until 2pm the next day!) we arrived at the beautiful Bamboo Lodge! The lodge is only accessible by a two…
Over a few weeks we spent time in Quito (the capital of Ecuador) and some nearby towns! Quito itself was beautiful, we really enjoyed staying in the old town. There were views of the Andes from all through the city! From Quito we did an overnight trip to a nearby town, Otavalo. We originally went…
From Quito we spent three days in the beautiful Cotopaxi National Park. Our hostel in Cotopaxi was absolutely beautiful, with amazing views of Cotopaxi Volcano and other surrounding mountains! It was really social, so we made friends with lots of other travellers. They even had llamas that you could feed, and ponchos to wear around…
Our last stay on the Galapagos did not disappoint! On our first day on San Cristobal we visited Playa Lobería, a beach around a 30 minute walk from the town. There were so many sea lions on the beach, including a few babies! We walked along the rocks to a nearby cliff and saw lots…
Our second stop on the Galapagos gave us another amazing few days! We went on a “Highland Tour” of Santa Cruz, visiting some inland locations to mix it up from all our time on the coast! We visited “Los Gemelos” which translates to “The Twins”, two huge volcanic craters created when lava tunnels from Santa…
The first island on our trip to the Galapagos! We were lucky enough to spend three days on Isabela Island, the largest island by landmass but one of the smallest inhabited islands by population in the Galapagos. Sorry for the incoming spam, we can’t narrow down the photos/videos that we want to share! On our…
Our last stop in Colombia! Our time in Bogota was fairly quiet due to both of us being a bit unwell/run down, but we still managed to enjoy the city! In particular exploring around La Candelaria, the oldest part of the city where we were staying. We did manage to rally to go to the…
So many highlights of our ten days in Medellin, it’s hard to know where to start! One of the main reasons for our longer stay in Medellin was to visit Elefun Language School for a 5 day Spanish Intensive Course. Unfortunately, 5 days was only sufficient to get us from “no bueno” to “bien”, but…
A day trip so beautiful it deserves it’s own post! On our last weekend in Medellin we took a two hour bus to the town of Guatape. Our first stop was Piedra del Penol, a 220m (and over 700 step!) rock formation with beautiful views of the surrounding lakes. After Piedra del Penol we took…
