South America

Obviously there are thousands of things to love about Santiago, but we are sharing the 33 things we loved the most and that made Chile’s capital special for us:

We fell head over heels in love with Cuzco, especially with the gorgeous San Blas neighborhood with its narrow, steep and winding street and colonial houses.

I’ve arrived in Colombia – in Cartagena, to be precise, a city I’ve been dreaming of visiting for years. My start to my 4th round of Latin America travels was off to a great start…

From hot & sweaty Cartagena, I traveled up the coast to some of Colombia’s famous Caribbean beaches – and I was not disappointed, despite a scary incident…

A look back at my travels from NYC to Colombia – the start of my annual winter escape! Colombia has been amazing, but also difficult (a break-in & food poisoning!)

We did one of the most insane things this past week: We cycled down the world’s most dangerous road – Bolivia’s Death Road. Luckily, we survived the trip!

Winds of up to 100km on average?! And they say Chicago is the windy city…This week’s Polaroid is dedicated to Marcela Romagnoli’s sculpture in Puerto Natales, Chile – ‘Amor al Viento’.

This week’s Polaroid of the Week captures the snow caps and city views over Santiago in the summer.

We spent the last week in Sucre, Bolivia’s capital, where we discovered dozens of types of potatoes in the market. Did you know that potatoes were Bolivia’s main staple?

While some markets in Latin America can be overwhelming thanks to their smells and craziness, we found Cuzco’s San Pedro Market to be wonderfully organized and clean!
