View Post While we were planning our Peru itinerary, we thought of Arequipa as merely a base before and after our hiking trip to Colca Canyon (one of the deepest canyons in the world). How wrong we were! After spending 5 days in Arequipa, we were stunned by its beauty, energy and cultural heritage, and it quickly became one of our most favorite cities in South America. Here are some things we loved about Arequipa, the most underrated city in Peru. Volcano…

View Post Visiting Isla del Sol in Bolivia was certainly one of our most unforgettable travel experiences in South America. This place is special for two reasons: First, Isla del Sol is believed to be the birthplace of the Incas so there’s an undescribable mystique in the air. Secondly, from here you can enjoy stunning, serene and less crowded views of Lake Titicaca – the highest navigable lake in the world. If you’re backpacking in South America, you’ll probably come across the…

View Post Good weather, incredible food, relaxed vibes, history & tradition. Those are the words that come to mind when describing Lisbon. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about the city’s cobbled streets, colorful tiles and quaint old trams that’s hard to match. On this trip, we flew from London to Lisbon chasing the sunshine for a couple of days. Our budget was tight, so the aim of the trip was to spend time wandering at our leisure, feeling and breathing…

View Post To be honest, I wasn’t sure I would love La Paz, especially after having already visited Uyuni Salt Flats and Sucre earlier on our trip in Bolivia. My assumption was that La Paz was a huge and crowded city and not particularly a relaxed one (actually quite the opposite). However, after spending 4 full days there, I can honestly say La Paz is a unique and fascinating city that is definitely worth the time. It is quite chaotic but at…

View Post Raise your hand if you agree that there’s nothing worse than spending a holiday trapped in uncomfortable skinny jeans, or any type of jeans, for that matter. Yet that’s what we end up wearing when we leave packing for last minute and don’t plan ahead. With a little bit of prior preparation, however, you can find a pair of crazy comfy travel pants that actually suit your travels. To make things easier for you, I browsed travel forums and asked…

View Post When planning a Bolivia trip, you may come across traveler comments like “there’s not much to see and do in Santa Cruz” or “Santa Cruz is not the real Bolivia”. We read those comments too, but rather than deter us from going, we grew curious and decided to add it to our Bolivia itinerary right after Sucre.
