In the past months I have always heard these songs and whatever I think of them they represent this continent for me. Put them on youtube while you have a look at my blog, please do not watch the videoclips, I never did and don´t want to
And to finish one song from Laos and Thailand I heard millions of times last year, even the clip is fun
Peru
My visit of peru is scheduled to be split in two. The first part I visit mostly the coast of the country and the north with the exception of Arequipa and Lima. In the north Trujillo and Chiclayo are on the coast while Cajarmarca and Chachapoyas (with great ruins) are inland.
Finally one album for the moment of Bolivia where I spent less than two days but they were worth it.
Colombia
My pictures of Colombia from South to North, most of the time with Sam and Vinc.
My trip started in the white city Popayan and went on to the tumbs of an old unknown civilization in Tierradentro.
From there, I continued to the zona cafetera, Medellin and Bogota for 2 wonderful weeks, with a small detour in Boyaca.
I then went to the Carribean Coast to visit la ciudad perdida, el parque Tayrona and Cartagena for a lot of heat (and mosquitos).
Ecuador
Like Peru I will visit Ecuador in two times. After a slow start in Cuenca, I went ahead to Baños before my highlight of this country, the Quilotoa loop. I then went to hide in Quito for the Easter week end before stopping in Otavalo, my last stop before Colombia. On my way back south, I made stops in Mindo, the rainy forest, Crucita on the coast and Vilcabamba the former relaxed town invaded by old people and hippies.
My time in Chile
It starts with Santiago, then I headed South to the region of the lakes with stops in Pucón, Valdivia and Puerto Varas before contuing to Chiloe where I have spent Christmas.
But the real adventure in Chile begun when I started the carretera austral and got into Patagonia. It took me approximately 2.5 weeks to get from Chaiten to Villa O Higgins, 1,000 kms south.
My last stop in Patagonia was the popular Torres del Paine for a demanding 6 days trek.
After a stop in Santiago to get some energy and see some friends with whom I went to Valparaiso, I started to go north with two stops in La Serena and San Pedro de Atacama before crossing into Peru
My favourite place in the Southern Island: Wanaka wonderful its lake and Mt Aspiring not far.
The high peaks of the Southern Island in Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook. Arthur's Pass where I did two really good treks Kaikora (Seals) and Christchurch Akaroa, a French settlement now a quiet tourist destination. Abel Tasman NP, near Nelson where I did a multi-day trek Franz Joseph glacier, my first glacier ever Te Anau: The doubtful sound (it is a fjord) and views from the hill on the lake
And here are the three albums of the Northern Island. Not as many pictures because the weather was not as nice and I did fewer places. First the North of Auckland with the Bay of Island and the Cape Rienga (Top North of NZ). Then Taupo and the Tongariro Crossing (as much as I could see). And to finish the Coromandel Peninsula where the fun was finally back
