At the moment we’re observing the sunset sitting in front of our bungalow at Playa Blanca, a beech on one island in northern Colombia. Crabs are staring to come out of the Caribbean Sea to dig out holes – homes for the night.
This will be our second very warm night spent in a hammock under [...]]]></description>

No salsa photos, sorry
Colombia is thought to be dangerous, with cocaine mafia every corner and guerrilla fighters behind every tree. We’ve traversed its green heart without any problems. It is a beautiful country still to be discovered by tourists who for many years kept out of here. 
In Cali, one of the world’s capitals [...]]]></description>

Ecuador is South America in a capsule – it has high mountains, rivers, ocean, islands, beaches, volcanoes, jungles, … and it is relatively small  (a bit smaller than Poland).
It’s a cheap country: a two-course lunch or dinner in a local and so-so clean restaurant costs less than 2$. You [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve visited Otovalo just before entering Colombia. It is famous for its Saturday market, claimed to be the biggest in South America. It was an interesting experience indeed. 
In the animal part of the market, next to a big bag kicking in all directions, two heavyweight pigs got in a fierce fight. One almost lost [...]]]></description>

Ecuador, as the name suggests, lies on the equator. It happens to pass by only several kilometers from the outskirts of Quito. There is the entire village called Mitad del Mundo, or “Center of the World”. Its most representative site and the main tourist attraction is a symmetrical monument crossed by an East-to-West line drawn [...]]]></description>

We’ve decided to spend the remaining 3 days to our flight in an interesting port city of Valparaiso and a neighboring beach resort of Vina del Mar.
Valparaiso is surrounded by numerous hills covered with all sorts of houses, built out of wood, stones, tin and even clay. Urbanistically, they are governed by one underlying principle: [...]]]></description>

Atacama has 0.3mm of rain a year. It makes this region one of the driest places in the world. For some it is a definition of hell. But there are weirdoes for whom Atacama is a true paradise – astronomers.  With 300 cloudless days a year, no light pollution coming from big agglomerations, high [...]]]></description>

The famous Paris-Dakar race, as the name suggests, begins and ends in Buenos Aires. At least this year. It happened to be crossing not far from us in the city of San Juan, Argentina, so we decided to check it out. 
The entire experience was rather disappointing. First, it is forbidden to go directly in [...]]]></description>

* almost;  round trip from the base camp
Have you ever seen the book series &#8216;x in a weekend&#8217; e.g., Tennis, Skiing, Sailing &#8211; a crash course manual that should teach you this activity in one weekend only? Well, in the case of climbing Aconcagua, this title could be indeed true. We&#8217;ve done it ourselves, almost. [...]]]></description>

Easter Island was nice, but a bit too low in altitude for us – a bit too much of air to breathe. When we came back onto the continent, we went straight to the mountains around Mendoza, Argentina, to the region of Cordon del Plata. It was such a relief to sleep at 4200m, trying [...]]]></description>
