Rio de Janeiro: A 4-Day Family Adventure

Posted on January 9, 2015 by Lesley | 1 Comments

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is one of South America’s most iconic cities featuring a wealth of culture, food, and sites to explore. You could spend weeks in Rio de Janeiro and still not experience all this magnificent city has to offer, but my wife and I, along with our four kids, only had four days in Rio de Janeiro. Our three…

Bikin’ and Quaffin’: Wine Tasting in Mendoza

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Erin Walton | 0 Comments

If, like me, Bacchus is your preferred Roman God then you’ll know that being presented with many a glass of red wine ready for sampling is about as good as a lazy afternoon can get. Here in South America, Mendoza is Argentina’s most famous wine district, and is a place where those sorts of afternoons come oh so colourfully true….

Bolivia – On Travel & Photography

Posted on September 22, 2013 by Carlota Martins | 4 Comments

We arrived tired and a little bit cranky to La Paz, Bolivia. For me it was one of those travel moments when you simply want to get some sleep and spend a few relaxing days doing very little before getting back on the intense travel style I grew accustomed to. With little time, and money to see everything I wanted…

La Isla del Sol: The Experience of Water in a Land-Locked World

Posted on September 19, 2013 by Erin Walton | 0 Comments

There on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca, lolling in the inky-blue depths from which Incan legend has it the Sun god was born, lies La Isla del Sol, the Island of the Sun, its odd, earth-coloured shape looking for all the world like a fresh splotch of paint, bone of the inner ear or short-haired yellow cat stretching out…

Falling for Iguazu

Posted on September 16, 2013 by Leslie Patrick | 3 Comments

The first time my boyfriend Steve told me about his visit to Iguazu Falls, I immediately added it to my Bucket List. One of the world’s largest waterfalls straddling the border of Brazil and Argentina sounded like a force of nature too powerful to neglect on my upcoming solo trip to Buenos Aires. Though it was 680 miles north, Iguazu…

Becoming More Australian in Peru

Posted on September 12, 2013 by Erin Walton | 6 Comments

While overseas, I regularly find that people are shocked by my being Australian and not being a pro-surfer. Oddly enough, that I don’t hunt crocodiles, bellow “Crikey!” or ride in a ‘roo’s pouch seems to escape scathing popular opinion. But admitting to not being able to surf? Wow, I almost need boxing kangaroo gloves to defend that one. In any…

Panama City

Posted on April 4, 2013 by eoghan3191 | 0 Comments

After a brief inconvenient interrogation by undercover drug police, I boarded a flight to Panama. Panama City was perhaps my biggest surprise. It exceeded my expectations in almost every way. I had imagined a sort of drab and dusty city with a brownish hue and the big, unsightly Panama Canal. However Panama City was a bright, clear city with an…
