If you have a weakness for barbecue, you’re in perfect hands in Argentina: […]

After our days in the capital city Buenos Aires, on Saturday morning Arthur, Lu and I moved on with the ferry to Uruguay to the picturesque town Colonia.  […]

After weeks of anticipation, time has finally come: Arthur, Lu and I are starting our weekend trip to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. […]

Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp: The basic equipment of every smartphone user. Hard to believe but there actually exist more travel apps which might be quite useful to know about – especially during your internship or volunteer work project in South America. […]

It’s early in the morning when Christian and I wake up and are welcomed by bright sunshine. It’s warm outside and we have breakfast in the middle of a small front yard surrounded by exotic plants. Unfortunately, the plants and our sweet biscuits also attract bees, so we go back inside quickly. After breakfast we go straight to the bus terminal, because today we want to visit the Brazilian side of the “Cataratas del Iguazu”! At the small bus station a lot of tourists are already waiting for the bus to Brazil. […]

One of Christian’s last trips through South America takes him to Iguazu in Argentina and starts with a 22-hour bus ride and me as an ideal travel companion ;). Typical of Argentine bus travel: The all-around service: In front of each of us is a screen with a huge selection of films and music. Our seats can be folded back completely, and the food is quite good. The best is the drinks service – a good red wine for dinner and a whiskey at midnight. […]

Today is the last day of our road trip and our destination is the thermal bath of Cacheuta. I’m the first one to wake up at 8 o’clock in the morning and to get started I put on some relaxed indie music. Soon after, the boys and Maike crawl out of their beds too. We have breakfast and prepare lunch boxes for later on. The thermal bath of […]

6:30 in our Airbnb in Mendoza: It’s time to get up. * yawn * Today will be a long day for us in the Andes… The boys are still sleeping in their beds when Maike and I get up and ready to go. But soon their alarm will ring as well and soon after we are all ready. We get a taxi to the airport to pick up our car. André talks to the lady at the counter, while Maike, Christian and I are still dozing on some seats of the arrival hall. We are [...]

Half past 9 in the evening in Córdoba: Maike, André, Christian and I can’t wait any longer! We are standing at the bus terminal and waiting for the bus to Mendoza. A short time later the bus arrives, we give up our luggage and get on the bus. We have dinner that isn’t too bad for fast food, and later on, we fall asleep during the movie. When I wake up, the rest of the group is already awake and a look out the window tells that we are not far from Mendoza. The barren [...]

Where are we now? – In Humahuaca at the colourful mountains! “Colourful mountains”, I think. Yes, but where? I am told that the sun rises behind the mountain which is why it’s only in the afternoon where you can see the full-colour splendour. Who wanted to see the sun rise again? I’m even too tired for “mimimi” and open the car door in full enthusiasm only to close it again. We started our short trip with 30 °, whereas now at 4000m altitude I feel like I am in the depths of Siberia. My motivation [...]
