Aus auf Zeit

Wir feiern Sylvester in Santiago bei uns im Hostel. Dies ist der letzte Tagebucheintrag von mir auf dieser Plattform. Weiter geht es hier...

In the morning, we walk to the coast again to visit a small castle, but it is closed. In the afternoon, we take the bus back to Santiago.

Mit den öffentlichen Bus fahren wir in das benachbarte Valparaíso und verbringen den Tag dort. Wir machen Sightseeing vom Hafen bis in die Hügel der Stadt rein.

Today we are going to Viña del Mar on the Chilean coast. Originally, we wanted to go to Valparaíso. But a few days ago, there was a fire there and it destroyed about 200 houses,...

Jeden Freitag wird in Santiago immer noch demonstriert. Das wollen wir uns angucken und gehen gegen Abend hin. Wir finden eine große Menschenmenge auf dem Plaza Baquedano und...

Today we want to go to Cerro San Cristóbal, a hill that dominates the cityscape of Santiago and offers a great view of the city and surroundings. The way there is marked by many...

We spend most of the day by the pool. In the late afternoon, we meet up with a friend of Steven's who shows us a bit of Santiago. In the evening, we have a Chilean specialty...

At 30 degrees, you can spend Christmas by the pool.

Gegen Mittag fahren wir zum Flughafen von Lima. Von dort aus fliegen wir am späten Nachmittag nach Santiago de Chile, wo wir kurz vor 24 Uhr Ortszeit ankommen.

We are taking advantage of the offer of a Free Walking Tour through the trendy neighborhood of Miraflores today. The starting point is the tourism center, where we will start...

Lima makes a very good first impression on us. We explore our immediate surroundings and head towards the beach, or rather the coast of Lima. After weeks of searching, I am...

Am Morgen 9:15 Uhr fährt unser Bus in Huaraz los mit dem Ziel Lima. Die Fahrt soll ungefähr 8 Stunden dauern.

We are going to hike to the Wilkacocha Lagoon today, which is highly recommended for the first day. It is our only full day in Huaraz, so it fits perfectly. The hike is...

Wir fahren heute 8 Stunden mit den Bus weiter nach Huaraz. Die Stadt liegt mit 3000m wieder deutlich höher und wir verlassen mit ihr die Wüstengegend der letzten Tage.

Today we will visit the ruins of Chan Chan as part of a tour. Chan Chan was the capital of the pre-Columbian Chimú empire and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1986....

As quickly as possible, we leave Chaclayo again. Maybe we just entered the city on the wrong foot, but it didn't really touch us. We take the bus for 4 hours to Trujillo, where...

Nach einer 12 stündigen Busfahrt erreichen wir Chiclayo. Wir fahren mit einem Tuk-Tuk zu unserer Unterkunft. Wir beschließen nur eine Nacht zu bleiben, da uns die Stadt absolut...

We visit the Pumapungo Museum, which exhibits archaeological treasures among others. Afterwards, we explore a viewpoint by taxi. In the evening, we board the night bus towards...

Today, we have a hike planned in the Cajas National Park, near Cuenca. By chance, three other people from our hostel also have the same plan, so we join forces and take the bus...

We drive through the night and arrive in Cuenca at 5 am. The night bus is just a regular bus and not meant for overnight trips, so we will be quite exhausted upon arrival....

In the morning we start a tour that promises us waterfalls. On the way there we quickly take a round of zip-lining, where we cross a gorge in the Superman position with a...

Today we will drive up a mountain by bus to a private property where a treehouse and some swings have been built. From there, you will have a great view of the landscape and can...

From now on, we head south to Lima with a few stops where we will rest for a few days. The first one is Baños, a small town in the middle of the mountains. We will take a 3-hour...

The Galapagos trip ends today. We will take the ferry at 6 o'clock from Santa Cruz to San Cristobal, where the plane to Quito with a stopover in Guayaquil leaves at 12:30 o'clock.

The Galapagos trip is coming to an end and we have to return to San Cristobal. This can only be done in two stages, first to the island of Santa Cruz and from there by the next...

The final on Galapagos awaits us today. We will leave early at 8 o'clock by boat. The goal is rock formations that were formed by cooled lava and that have partially formed some...

Today we actually want to climb a volcano, but without a guide, it's impossible. Even the taxi drivers refuse to take us there. So we decide to do a kayak tour with snorkeling....

Wall of Tears

In the morning, we visit the Charles Darwin Station, where the turtle breeding program for this island is carried out. There you can also see Lonesome George, who died a few...

Today we leave San Cristobal and head to Santa Cruz. We have to get up early as the boat departs at 7 am. After a comfortable 2-hour ride, we reach Santa Cruz, where we have...
