The Pampas – another difficult post for narrowing down photos to share. I have a hard time weeding through the wild-life photos. Continue reading “The Pampas”

The Jungle – The Bolivian Amazon
I do not even know how to begin this post. It has been a week since my 3 days in the jungle – and I feel like I haven’t fully left it. This was undoubtedly one of the top highlights of my travels. And I will definitely be returning for more. Continue reading “The Jungle – The Bolivian Amazon”
Bolivian Jeep Tour, Day 2
Day 2, more beauty, more mountains, more deserts, more alpacas, fewer trees, fewer and fewer and fewer signs of life. I was actually quite astounded by the complete lack of human touch that stretched on for hours and hours, days in fact. Continue reading “Bolivian Jeep Tour, Day 2”
Tilcara, Jujuy, Argentina
Tilcara, Tilcara, Tilcara… Where do I even begin? I arrived here on the 21st of April with the intention of staying for 3 nights on my way to Bolivia. A month later, I am begrudgingly preparing to leave this charming little pueblo tomorrow. This town truly is special, and as many other’s have described it, “magical”.

Iguazu Falls, Argentina
The Iguazu Falls are one of many reasons why I chose South America. Maybe a year and half ago, when my life was still normal, I remember googling amazing places to visit. When I came across images of the falls, I looked at my now ex-boyfriend and said “I want to go here”. The images stood out in my mind ever since. My third and final day at Iguazu Falls did not disappoint. Continue reading “Iguazu Falls, Argentina”
The Macuco Trail at Iguazu Falls, Argentina
For day 2 of my Iguazu adventures, I actually did not go to “the” falls. Instead I chose to take a day to wander Senedero Macuco. A nature trail which takes about an hour to reach the solo Salta Arrechea waterfall. This is the one place in the park where visitors have the opportunity to swim. The trail also provides an opportunity for viewing wildlife like capuchin monkeys, rare birds, lizards, unusual insects and masses of butterflies.

Iguazu Falls, Brazilian Side
I spent three days exploring Iguazu Falls and it’s subtropical rainforest surroundings. This place can be described as nothing short of magical. “Magical” seems to be the only word I can find that comes close to describing my time here. Each of my three days was an incredibly unique experience. For this reason, I need to do a separate post about each day here. I begin on day 1, by exploring the Brazilian side of the falls. Continue reading “Iguazu Falls, Brazilian Side”
A “Holy Shit” Moment
Have you ever had a “holy shit” moment? Where your heart sinks into your feet and life stops feeling real? I’ve had a few of them. They’ve usually been awful moments. But on Magdalena Island, off of Punta Arenas, Chile, the other day I learned that sometimes those moments can be good moments. Continue reading “A “Holy Shit” Moment”
