Stunning Cuzco, by far our favourite capital city that we have visited in South America. The cobble-stoned streets and splendid colonial buildings built on top of Inca foundations, make the whole place unique and rich in history and culture. It´s the continents oldest continuously inhabited city. We spent a day wandering from one gorgeous plaza to the next, visiting a few interesting museums. A trip to Machu Picchu is a must on the agenda for all travellers...

We got a taste of Bolivia`s far southwest by doing a three day jeep tour. The diversity of the terrain is phenomenal, some of the bleakest terrain on earth. The surreal landscape is nearly treeless, punctuated by gentle hills and volcanoes, with stunning lakes dotted at various intervals. Among them is Laguna Verde, a beautiful emerald green lake situated at 5,000 metres above sea level. All the lakes are inhabited by beautiful pink flamingos and other bird speci...

We caught the bondinho, which is a rattle trap tram to the bohemian neighbourhood of Santa Teresa. The fare is minimal but free for those courageous enough who want to hang off it's sid...

Every city in the States has it's own distinctive vibe and Miami's is clearly laid back. We stayed in the Art Deco district in South Beach Miami, between Collins Avenue and Espanola Way. Everyone seems uber body conscious, which is evident in all the spandex clad bodies roaming the streets. It makes you feel like you're back in the 80's, but on a more positive note....the t-shirtless buff bodies are quite appealing to the eye. Our day trip to the ...
