On the boarder of Bolivia and Peru is the world's highest altitude lake, sitting at 3,811ft above sea level. This was our stop gap after a heavy xmas and soon to be New Year party scene. We decided to stay in a town called Copacabana on the Bolivian side of the lake. Arriving late afternoon we wanted to get our bearings and wondered around the village settings - a beautiful fishing port (renowned for their Trout) with little market stalls and craft shops everywhe...

All aboard the worlds smallest plane... we're off to the Amazon! The flight there was an adventure in itself with pretty bad turbulence & I couldn't believe it when I looked out of the window to find a mountain on one side & a glacier on the other, but what do you expect when you take off at nearly 5000mts above sea level. To our delight the plane landed safely - on a grass runway!! After leaving Rurrenabaque a gorgeous jungle village, the tour started w...

There was a lot to be said about our 4x4 though, as at every oppo...

Santiago Chile Again, Santiago wasn't in the original plan however after meeting Pam & Maca in Ilha Grande they offered to give us a personal tour of the city. We'd heard that there weren't masses to do in Chile's Capital so we decided to stay for only two nights, for a bargain price at Footsteps hostel in the heart of the city. Unbeknown it was only 120 footsteps away from the metro station (sweet) however the metro journey is not the easiest… especially ...

Pucon was not on our original list of places to visit however, I finally managed to get Fay to deviate away from the original plan... miracles can happen!! But what an absolute great decision we made in coming here. As we entered the small town, all you can see is one massive white Volcano… it towers everything, even the clouds! Nothing like you've seen before. It was breathtaking. We couldn't take our eyes of it. We arrived at Paradise Pucon Hostel - not quit...
