Iguazu Falls

The Cataratas de Iguazú, Iguazú Falls, is an incredible and unforgettable experience. Having visited Victoria, Niagra and Iguazú [twice], Iguazú is definitely my favorite.

Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine

There isn’t much to Puerto Natales other than being a gateway to the stunningly beautiful Parque Nacional Torres del Paine. As such, it has a decent selection of restaurants and places to stay along with a rather busy bus station … Continue reading “Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine” →

Bariloche

While San Carlos de Bariloche, commonly called Bariloche, is known for its Swiss alpine-style architecture and its chocolate, it’s really a great example of what happens when there is no urban planning. Even with it’s location on the edge of … Continue reading “Bariloche” →

Valparaiso

Valparaiso is indeed colorful. And hilly. Your glutes will get a good workout. So put on some comfy shoes and get ready to wander the endless narrow streets and staircases. When we were there many of the funiculars were not … Continue reading “Valparaiso” →

Santiago

Santiago is a big city and feels like a big city. Part of that could be that it is rather modern. A history of earthquakes kept destroying everything until they figured out new building techniques in late 19th century. Hence, … Continue reading “Santiago” →
