Being a big fan of Geotagging and with news from the Google LatLong Blog that Blogger now supports geotagging for blog posts, I thought I'd take this opportunity to geotag some older posts (that have...
Things have been rather busy this summer, but I've managed to get some photos up here. Highlights of the summer:1.) Hiking in the rockies - kanaskis, Yamnuska2.) Climbing/Camping in the rockies3.) Tr...
I meant to mention Pablo Neruda actually during some of my blog entries, especially in Chile, but never got around to it. He is one of the most famous poets in Chile, and in South America for that ma...
Well I'm back in Canada and back to work after a short stop over in Toronto for a week on my way back from Lima. Overall the trip went way too quickly, but time flows a bit differently when...
I had arranged a three day, 2 night tour from Cusco to Machu Pichu in Cusco. We visited the ruins of Pisac and Ollantaytambo the first day and both have incredible views from the top of their terrace...
Overland from Bolivia, around Lake Titicaca to Puno was my first stop in Peru. An interesting little town, know for its fiestas. I happened to be there for one of them, but not exactly sure what it w...
The road from Potosi to La Paz on the overnight bus was much better than the one from Uyuni, though not the most comfortable night bus I've been on. Not a huge city compared to others in South Americ...
Uyuni is located close to the Salt Flats in Bolivia, this town was little more than a stopover for tourists coming from or going to the desert. It did have an interesting train graveyard which a suns...
From the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama, we headed into Bolivia and continued through the desert on 4x4s for three days. San Pedro was approximately 2500m, but upon entering Bolivia the first day we g...
San Pedro is a place of extremes, nothing but sun in the day, cold at night, and one of the driest places on earth. This is one of the most beatiful places I've been too in South America with s...
Salta was the first stop on the tour and we spent a couple of nights here, I was able to see Calafayte (a small wine region), and catch a local show with singing, dancing, and stories I couldn't unde...
I won't elaborate too much on this tour since the itinerary is online here. This tour takes me from Buenos Aires to Salta, San Pedro de Atacama, Salt Flats, Uyuni, Potosi and finally to La Paz (endin...
From Rio until Buenos Aires I was traveling solo after parting ways with Sarah, Tom, Michelle, and Megan. My overall plan was to make it to Buenos Aires by April 14 (about 7 days) to meet up with the...
When first reading about Rio I began to have some trepidations of going there, just because of the reputation for crime in the city and it being so much worse than other cities. I'm happy to sa...
Simply put, these are the most spectacular falls I've ever seen. One picture doesn't really do it justice, nor would several. The waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometr...
From Mendoza we (sister Sarah, Megan, Tom, and Michelle) headed to Buenos Aires on an overnight bus and I'd have to say the 'ejectivo' class is the way to go! On a double decker bus, we had a six sea...
A couple of bus rides, 2 hours at the border, and a beautiful drive through the mountains got me from Valparaiso to Mendoza. I was there for four days since there are plenty of activities in and arou...
From Punta Arenas we flew back to Santiago, for a second more extended look at the city (the first time we flew in and flew out at the start of our tour but saw little more than a couple restaurants ...
An interesting city to spend a couple of nights at the end of our tour. The weather cooperated in being very cold and rainy for the entire time so we were forced to do laundry and catch up on all thi...
What a place! I have so many amazing photos from this place it was hard to pick only a few to post here. Our tour included the classic "W" hike over three days in the park. Although the link points t...
Our preparations for this 3 day voyage through the fjords of Patagonia began with the purchase of several bottles of wine and several more litres of water. I found out later that drinking water was p...
