From the ranch location, it was about a 40-minute drive to a national park. To get there, you have to drive about 500 meters through private property where a fee is charged per...

Today we set out to our last accommodation, a ranch in the middle of nowhere. Along the way, we stopped at a beautiful waterfall. There, we could also observe iguanas (lizards)...

Finally relax, that's our plan. After our humble breakfast, the margarine tastes like petroleum, the jam without flavor ... just sweet. Then there are pancakes, similar to...

Today we traveled to Huacas to see a friend originally from California who runs a brewery here. Some regions are affected by flooding due to the rainy season. The pictures show...
