This is Ecuador, guapo!

Image
What a loooong time has been, people! It’s almost a shame for us to publish a new article after several months but, as we always say, life can keep you busy. However, we couldn’t miss the chance to celebrate an important date today: exactly one year ago, we were coming back to Europe and ending, after 10 months, our South American backpacking trip! And that’s why, this article will talk about the last country we have been visiting along our journey . A country, which has been a blast for us and one more adventure to count in the list… Esto es Ecuador, guapo! And where to start? Of course, from one of the craziest State border we have ever seen, just a bridge over a river with a single policeman, who was obviously in his 2 hours lunch break and one daily bus that could bring us away from there. The way we took (we cannot even call it a “street”) was so broken, arduous and full of landslides, that the driver needed...

Big Bolivian Heart

Bolivia, a country full of contradictions. Often so free and wildly beautiful that it feels like a slap in your face, often so rude and messy that you just want to leave. A place that would like to help you, to bring you closer but sometimes is just too hard. Life is complicated and you have to care about yourself, with dignity and some coca leaves in your mouth. Maybe dressed on rainbow colourful clothes with a serious smile along. This was our impression after the first days spent around Oruro. We definitely needed a push to be able to discover Bolivia in a better way and we decided to jump into our first South American train ride. “ Fortune favours the bold ”, as the Latin proverb says and our luck completely changed: the historical train flew over the UruUru Lake surrounded only by wonderful flying pink flamingos, as in a fairy-tale. We crossed incredible valleys encircled by enchanted huge snowy mountain peaks, with the repetitive calm sound of the railway cradling...
