Chasing Wind & Waves

10 Flüge, 4 Länder, 3 Monate später kommen wir zurück. Wir haben Erfahrungen und Eindrücke gesammelt, sind gekietet, gesurft, getaucht und gewandert, dürfen neue Menschen unsere...

The journey is adventurous. There is almost no security check at the airport, the plane has free seating and we are quickly boarded. In the tiny plane we go to Corn Island - the...

On the way to Little Corn Island, we have to go to the airport in Managua. Since our flight is already at 7:00 am in the morning and we are trying to avoid Managua by all means,...

Playa Maderas - our Nicaragua base. We noticed that we've become a bit tired of traveling and don't really need changing accommodations and places at the moment......

After six means of transportation, we arrive at Ometepe, the volcanic island in Lake Nicaragua. The goal here is to kite, so we choose accommodation directly on the kite beach....

It took us a total of 17 hours to get from La Paz in Bolivia to our first stop in Nicaragua, the Surfing Turtle Lodge in Poneloya. We start early in the morning to the airport of...

Although we didn't have a good start - we love this chaotic, colorful, loud, yet lovable city of La Paz. Friday evening at 20:30 we take the night bus from Uyuni to La Paz. Once...

Day 3 starts off relaxed at 8:00 with breakfast. Then we will be picked up by our driver. The first activity is visiting a tomb discovered about 25 years ago at the foot of the...

We want to book a day tour and start it on the same day. Therefore, the plan is tight: Wake up at 6:00, visit agencies for a tour starting at 7:00, then start the tour. ...

Der Wecker klingelt um 6:00 Uhr in der Früh. Wir haben eine 3-tägige Salzwüsten-Tour nach Uyuni in Bolivien gebucht. Pünktlich stehen wir mit unserem gesamten Gepäck auf der...

The goal of today was the Lascar Volcano, whose summit is about 5600m above sea level. Our starting point San Pedro de Atacama is at about 2400m. So we had to overcome 3200m in...

At 4:30 am, we will be picked up from the hostel and go to the El Tatio geyser by van. We are glad that this time we don't have to drive ourselves, but can use the ride to catch...

From Iquique we drive for hours through the Atacama Desert - one of the driest deserts in the world - and barren landscapes towards San Pedro de Atacama. The 2700 meters of...

Intense beach break, sun, and tennis - those are the words that describe our stay in Iquique. After our delayed departure from Bahia Inglesa, we didn't get as far as we had...

Now we only have one last chance to kite on the coast - Bahia Inglesa. The next day we rush directly there, as the place is not only known for its wind but also as a nice...

Huasco is completely non-touristic, but not particularly beautiful either. However, the town is located right on a huge bay and we are confident we can get on the water here. The...

Nicht weit von Puclaro entfernt liegt der Humboldt National Park, bestehend aus kleinen, umbetretenen Inseln und bewohnt von verschiedenen Vögeln, Zwerg-Pinguinen und Robben. Wir...

We had actually planned a kiteboarding stop in Puerto Altea, a tip from our Argentine kiteboarding friend from Rodeo. However, finding the spot proved to be more difficult than...

Wow, Valparaiso impressed us immediately. Small colorful houses, all built on hills, surround the harbor. Narrow streets, stairway canyons, street art wherever you look, and many...

On the way to our next stop, we more or less blindly follow the shortest route of the navigation system. This was, God knows, not the best decision we have made so far on the...

Who would have thought that ski underwear would be my best friend on this trip? Packed for the nights in Bolivia's salt flats, it's already coming in handy on nights with...

Four hours we drove by car through desert and valleys, through a landscape with impressive barrenness and mountains in various shades of red, brown, and black. The last meters you...

Four days after departure and three flights, one bus and one car ride later, we arrived - at our first kite spot. It started in Frankfurt on a 34-hour journey to Santiago de...

Dem Wind hinterher – das war das Motto der Reiseplanung. Über google und Windstatistiken haben wir nach Destinationen gesucht, deren Windausbeute mit unseren Reisemonaten...
