5 years ago, I was here for the last time. If you asked me what I did exactly here, I couldn't give you an exact answer. Buenos Aires must be experienced and cannot be...

Yes, Argentine Patagonia is indeed quite different from the Chilean one! I didn't imagine the difference would be so drastic, but it's actually quite logical, as we are on the...

My fans complain that I write too little... Well, I complain that only a few people read our posts! If this post doesn't get 'liked' by at least 10 people, my next post will...

In a few hours, we will start our trek through the Torres del Paine National Park. Back in civilization on February 4th. Regards, Fabienne & Simon

When the left-wing government of Chile - supported among others by the USA - was overthrown by the Chilean military in 1973, General Augusto Pinochet came to power and ruled the...

We had heard that Pucon is very touristy and not authentic at all. That's true. But after many days in the countryside, we were in the mood for good bread, a hot shower,...

We spent almost a week in a mountainous area called Araucanía, as Simon mentioned before. From Victoria to Curacautín, we went further and further into the mountains towards...

Finally, a proper round of driving! - We rented our 'Chlapf' for something, so I was really looking forward to this round tour. Driving on gravel and dirt roads through...

New Year's Eve on the playground

After the Lircay National Park, we drove straight to the coast (Constitucion) to travel south along the coastal road for the next few hundred kilometers. Wow! It was like the...

For three nights, we stayed in a cabin at the El Recodo campsite, right by the Rio Lircay river, in the National Park of the same name. It was an idyllic forest campsite right...

We spent only two days in Santiago, mainly to rent a car that we can return in Puerto Montt. Our accommodation was in the heart of Santiago's hipster neighborhood. Like Zurich's...

When we arrived there, straight from the desert, from a hostel without a shower, and saw the Chilean standard, we could hardly believe it. A hairdryer in the hostel! A duvet!...

It's been a long time since we were at Lake Titicaca, but I still wanted to say something about it: As part of the journey from Puno to Amantani (the island where we relaxed for...

- arrived in expensive Chile, from now on a double room costs around CHF 50 - impressive and diverse desert - the village of San Pedro is a pure tourist place: restaurants, tour...

Visiting the Salar de Uyuni, the lakes and deserts of the Altiplano, with flamingos, llamas, and vicuñas in the southern highlands of Bolivia, was one of my great, long-standing...

Place 1: Sacred Valley Cusco was a very energetic city with many tourists from around the world. In Plaza de Armas there are many people asking if you need a massage, if you...

Of course, it was clear that we couldn't wander through the jungle alone. Firstly, it would be pretty dangerous and secondly, we would probably only see mosquitoes and wouldn't...
