I’m leaving again. Far away and not alone this time. Yes, the road is calling my name. It’s doing so since I came back. It’s something unavoidable and the truth is that I wouldn’t like it to be...
View ArticleLima, the city of the hidden balconies
Lima is worth a visit but a quick one like the one you pay to those relatives you don’t feel like visiting but you are committed to. Since the moment you get in the metropolis its odour of gas reminds...
View ArticleThe two sides of Lima
We could say Lima has two sides, or several. To sum up I’d base it on my experience in this chaotic city that divides millions of people every day. We get to live the culture in full, thanks to Antony,...
View ArticleFrom chaos to simplicity
Sipping on a hammock and listening to Peruvian cumbia I wonder why everyday can’t be like this; in connection to nature, living a simple and humble life and learning about a new culture. Arriving here...
View ArticleWhat they didn’t tell you about Machu Picchu

View ArticleOllantaytambo, the living inca city

We leave Ollantaytambo behind, the Inca place par excellence to head to Cusco, another Inca meca in which cultural melange is present in the architecture. On our way we discover crosses together with...

View ArticleTrujillo and Máncora, the North of Peru
We fall in love with Trujillo, with its colonial patios and its preinca past. The ruins of civilisations that are previous to Inca show us another face of history, that same one that’s often covered by...
View ArticleIdioms that only Venezuelans will understand
1. Estar arrecho To be arrecho is to be mad at someone. Colombians also use it but they mean something else. While in Venezuela it means to be angry in Colombia is to be horny. Oh, Spanish language,...
View ArticleThe trip I made with someone named San Pedro
This is not a trip like any other, it's in fact one of the most intense and deep I've made. It's not a pilgrimage trip with a saint named Pedro nor is it religious. It's something spiritual instead. An...
View ArticleEn Barranquilla me quedo, Carnival of 2016
