From Antigua, we booked a tour to take us through parts of Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. This gave us a nice break from constantly having to check and organise transportation between cities and work our way through border crossings between countries (neither of which are ever straight forward over here). Honduras Copán in Honduras … More Honduras / El Salvador / Nicaragua
After a short taxi ride and walking across the first of many very confusing border crossings in Central America, we took a colectivo to Flores where we successfully squeezed 3 people + luggage in a tuktuk to get to our hostel. It was pouring down that afternoon & evening (for the first time since Mexico … More Guatemala
After returning from Cuba, we had about 2 weeks to travel down the east coast of Mexico and make it to Caye Caulker in Belize to meet up with Joe. Needless to say that we were very excited to return to the country of tacos 🌮 and elotes 🌽! Cancun, Isla Mujeres & Playa Del … More Mexico (Cancun to Chetumal) & Belize
Happy New Year! Sorry for the delay here – we’ve been quite busy as we’ve been travelling with a friend recently and we were also on a 10-day tour from Guatemala to Nicaragua, so we didn’t really have a lot of downtime to sort through photos and continue writing this post. After travelling through Mexico … More Cuba
This section of the trip has seen us traveling from Oaxaca to San CristĂłbal de las Casas, Palenque, MĂ©rida and Valladolid all the way to Cancun Airport from where we flew to Cuba. A bit of a delay on this post as we weren’t able to upload this post in Cuba and had to wait … More Mexico: Oaxaca to Cancun
In case you’re not quite aware of the distances here – we basically spent an entire day flying from Cusco to Mexico City (via Lima), as just the flight from Lima to Mexico City takes about 6.5 hours. We must have picked up a cold or something similar on the last day in Cusco and … More Mexico, Part I
We arrived in Cusco on a rainy evening after a 30 hour bus ride, so we passed out instantly once we got dropped off at the hostel. The next day, we went on a walking tour around Cusco and saw much of the mixed architecture (buildings built by the Spanish on top of original Inca … More Cusco
After a few slightly stressful final days in Ecuador we were looking forward to a more relaxing week in Peru. We spent the first couple of days in Lima, one of the world’s largest cities in a desert. We also heard that it is one of the cloudiest cities in the world which proved very … More Lima to Cusco
It’s been an interesting week in Baños! Ecuador went into a state of emergency on Thursday as the president removed the petrol price subsidy which had been in place for decades, essentially doubling the price of diesel overnight. This led to a country-wide strike of all taxis, buses and truck drivers, who setup road blocks … More A block in the road
After a bit more than a week in the Galapagos Islands, we have just come back to Quito today. These past 8 days have been an absolutely amazing experience and it’s actually difficult to pick some highlights, but we’ll try to give you a brief(ish) summary. It is not possible to enter the national park … More Islas Galápagos
