Claire in Ecuador and the Galapagos
In September I spent almost three weeks exploring the Ecuadorean mainland and Galapagos islands. Having spent a few months in Quito on my pre-university gap year back in 2005, I was interested to see the changes (of which there were plenty), visit old haunts and discover the new. Despite the same br... Read more»
Oli in Costa Rica - Pura Vida
In May 2013 I spent a wonderful two weeks exploring Costa Rica's highlands and Pacific coast. With tourism being the number one industry, I was looking forward to experiencing the excellent service, beautiful scenery and the laid back tico (Costa Rican) outlook on life that I had heard so much about...

Jonny in Chilean Patagonia
The last time I visited Chile was a brief foray to the north of the country and the Atacama desert.

The Atacama desert exceeded my expectations and the scenery in Torres del Paine is spec... Read more»
Jonny in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands
I was fortunate enough to visit Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands for the second time in October, and although I previously visited on a whistle stop tour taking in a couple of sights, this time I had two weeks to really discover what this country had to offer. My trip began with a visit to the nort... Read more»
Claire in Mexico
Bravely risking the hurricane season in search of some September sunshine and culture, I headed off to Mexico. The itinerary was of course action-packed. Time afforded me just one night in Mexico City, in the lovely, upmarket district of Polanco, before I boarded a short flight south-east to Tuxtla... Read more»
