» :: a quick update...
It´s been a long time coming, but I just haven´t really felt like writing anything recently. We´re currently in Puerto Montt, Chile waiting patiently to board the Navimag boat to Puerto Natales and slip into Patagonia! After leaving Perú we entere

» The Hanging Glaciers of Mt. Tronador
After crossing the Chile-Argentine border for the eighth time, we returned once more to Bariloche and began preparing for our fourth and final multi-day Patagonian trek: the Paso de las Nubes (roughly: ‘Cloud Pass’), which we turned from a two-day t

» Chiloé: the end of Christendom
The past six weeks in Patagonia, the Lakes District and Antarctica, while amazing, have all been pretty much about the same thing: nature. And the bases we’ve used to explore all that scenery – El Calafate, El Chaltén, Ushuaia and Bariloche – hav

» The Nahuel Huapi Traverse
We suffered a bit of a post-Antarctica funk for a few days while in Ushuaia and making the long journey back north (three buses, two pointless border crossings and 50 hours later, and we still hadn’t made it out of Patagonia!). But finally we arrived

» :: photo update...
Finally, the photos have caught up to the blog!.. All the pictures are posted up through the Colca Canyon Trek; hopefully I can keep things pretty updated from now. ...I also added the photos from Nicaragua to site as well... http://drinkinginflip

» :: trekking colca canyon, the world's 2nd deepest...
After arriving in Arequipa we decided to do a 3-day trek through part of the Colca Canyon, supposedly the second deepest canyon in the world (the deepest canyon is also nearby in Peru). Supposedly there are a bunch of tours to the canyon offered by co

» :: christmas in caraz...
Feliz navidad from Caraz, Perú! Today is basically a rest day for us as we weren´t sure what would be happening here on Christams. Turns out just about everything in town is open and it´s not too diferent from any other day. We probably could hav

» :: caraz y la cordillera blanca
We spent the majority of our first day in Caraz wandering abou the mercado looking for foodstuffs to take with us on our 4-day hike through the Cordillera Blanca, via the Santa Cruz Trek. We were even able to buy a map from a local tour company/outfitte

» :: peru's most spectacular road: canon del pato
We arrived in Cajamarca after a long day on buses, and after shopping around for a decently priced hostel we headed out to find some dinner. From just the taxi ride from the bus stop to the Plaza de Armas, we both agreed that Cajamarca was going to be a

» Tierra del Fuego: the end of the world
A few days ago we took an all-day bus from Puerto Natales south to the end of mainland South America, across the Straits of Magellan (via a car-ferry), into the Tierra del Fuego, back over the Argentina border, and ultimately to Ushuaia, the world’s s

» :: the not so rough road to cajamarca...
We had read in the guidebook that road we planned to travel from Chachapoyas to Cajamarca would traverese some hellish dirt roads across two high mountain passes, and would entail us stopping for the night in Celendin after 16 hours only to continue on th

» Trekking in Torres del Paine
After nine days of trekking/camping in Torres del Paine National Park, we returned to Puerto Natales yesterday, enjoyed a deserved bottle of wine and enormous hamburguesas completas last night, and reflected on a fantastic trip. I won’t go into a day-

» :: northern perú
After spending a day in Lima we decided to head North to the little beach town of Huanchaco. Here we settled in for a few days of relaxing: sunbathing on the beach and otherwise really just doing nothing. It was nice to be away from all the touts of C

» :: cows on parade!..
We headed back to Lima with my parents and said our goodbyes at their hotel as they were heading for the airport at the crack of 4am the following morning... We decided to hangout in Lima for another two days before heading North again to see some of t
