Going for a walk is still possible! Sometimes to a wild beach that is not closed yet, sometimes with Rosa to a supposedly open beach that is actually closed. But there was still...

The pandemic has finally arrived in people's minds: disinfectants and rules of conduct, distance, closures of public places and beaches, no more weekly market, restaurants...

Every day, the extent of the pandemic becomes more apparent. On March 19th, we were supposed to fly from the Dominican Republic to Frankfurt, but the flight, like many others,...

We wanted to spend the last eight days of our long journey in a peaceful place on a hill in the beautiful nature. Surely we would have chosen a cheaper accommodation if we had...

We leave the Caribbean side on March 7th by bus and stay three days in the capital San Jose. Apart from a few beautiful buildings from the time of wealthy coffee barons, the...

Noch herrscht Pura Vida Stimmung im Ort und am Strand. Der lebensbejahende, unbeschwerte Gruß der Einheimischen wird wohl vielen bald nicht mehr so leicht über die Zunge gehen....

Even though there will probably be a new era: before and after Corona, I would like to finish the travel blog and report about the last beautiful days. In Puerto Viejo on the...

The events are unfolding quickly and at the moment it's difficult to adequately describe the beautiful experiences we have had here in Costa Rica amidst the global crisis. Costa...

Every beach in Puerto Viejo has its own uniqueness. The nearby Playa Negro is almost deserted and consists of the finest black glistening sand made from volcanic rock. Before...

However, we still found relaxation away from our property during delightful forest walks to the wonderful beaches nearby. Depending on the time of day, the tropical forests...

Manafest, this five-day festival promised: yoga, meditation, mindfulness workshops, primal scream and other self-exploration, and of course, lots of music of all genres. Doesn't...

With the Tuk Tuk we are in the beautiful Cahuita National Park in half an hour. We hike through the park for four hours with its diverse vegetation, always keeping our eyes on...

Costa Rica, for us it sounds like sun, sea and palm beach! That's why we don't stay long in San Jose, the capital, but continue by bus to Puerto Viejo. The Italian host family...

The Rimac neighborhood is so notorious that a city employee reluctantly allows us to cross the bridge in the evening. We stay on our residential street and avoid the side...

We have planned only two nights for the capital of Peru. From here, we will be flying to San Jose in Costa Rica later. We have booked a small hotel, very close to the old town,...

Mit viel Glück sieht man von Zeit zu Zeit die drei schneebedeckten Vulkane im Hinterland von Arequipa: Misti, Pichu Pichu und Chachani ( 6075m ). Auch noch sehenswert sind der...

Not far from Arequipa, in 1995, a sensational discovery was made on the Nevado Ampato at an altitude of 6000m: the approximately 500-year-old mummy of a girl of about 14 years...

In Arequipa, we are dropped off by the taxi driver on a busy narrow street in front of our hotel. Chef Martin leads us through a small courtyard into a huge room made of natural...

We have embraced Cuzco, despite its altitude, with its people, markets, and the beautiful surroundings. We have not dealt much with cow heads and snail slime, but we have...

We still have time to visit the small market before the train departs. Our altitude training has paid off, we have coped very well with all the efforts and are reveling in...

Fog and clearings alternate. Once again, we are amazed by the skill and creativity of the Incas. The huge rocks, weighing tons, were painstakingly pulled up by hundreds of...

We decide to wait on a plateau from where we have a very good view of the ancient Inca fortress... when the fog clears😉. Around 10 o'clock, the clouds start moving and a little...

We are ready: we have had the ticket for the time slot from 6 to 12 o'clock today for months, the rain capes are ready, we take the bus for the last meters up to the entrance of...

To reach the legendary Inca city of Machu Picchu at an altitude of 2400m, we first drive by van from Cuzco to Ollantaytambo. During the rainy season, the train only runs from...

There are still 2 more sights on the program: the pretty town with Inca ruins Pisac and the salt terraces of Maras. Unfortunately, both are currently not accessible due to heavy...

The western end of the Sacred Valley is bounded by the town of Ollantaytambo, which is named after the Inca fortress of the same name. From this strategically advantageous...

With Carlos we start on a day trip to the 'Sacred Valley of the Incas' as the Spaniards called it. Before we descend through the beautiful green Andean landscape to the Urubamba...
