Day 1-3: South West of the island Breakfast on the beach of Anse à l’Ane Walk down the pier in Anses d’Arlet and snorkel to see turtles or walk to Grand … Continue reading 2-week roadtrip in Martinique
I dreamt of Costa Rica for years! It was my big trip planned in April 2020 and one month before leaving, COVID closed all borders for months. I could eventually go back in April 2023. Arrival through Panama In order to start my trip from the South East of the country, I figured out it was simplest to arrive from Panama. And nice surprise, it … Continue reading 3 weeks in Costa Rica
My second time in Mexico, one year after Yucatan and Quintana Roo! While I was there, I met two super nice guys who could not stop speaking about their weeks in Chiapas and Oaxaca. They were efficient, I booked my two-week trip not much later! I landed in Tuxtla Gutierrez airport from Cancun (120€ for 2 and one baggage on hold with Vivaaerobus) and took … Continue reading 2 weeks in Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico
We arrived in Oaxaca on a night bus from Palenque (via Villahermosa) after 5 awesome days in Chiapas. The ride was super long (about 13 hours, instead of 10) and extra bumpy. Really not pleasant. What to do in Oaxaca? Go on a free walking tour around the lovely city (meeting point in front of Teatro Macedonio Alcala). You’ll also get a chance to taste … Continue reading One week in Oaxaca and Puerto Escondido

We took a taxi (18€, pre-booked inside … Continue reading 5 days in Chiapas, Mexico

And that was kind of cool, it meant that it’s not very touristy. But in a few clicks, I discovered there’s a lot to see: volcanoes, jungle, colonial cities and of course… … Continue reading 2 weeks in Ecuador
The Galapagos… I don’t have words. When I was a teenager listening to my biology teacher about Darwin, I would never have imagined I would travel there one day. And, to be honest, I felt exactly the same when I started travelling and discovering the prices there… But priorities evolve in life, and in a typical YOLO moment I decided to book a 5-day trip … Continue reading 5 days in the Galapagos
The region around Latacunga is exceptional: volcanoes, laguna, páramo. It should definitely be on your bucket list should you be in Ecuador. What to do in Latacunga? Cotopaxi: Cotopaxi is the second highest volcano in Ecuador (5 897 m). And still considered active! I took an excursion from the Secret Garden Hostel in Quito to go to Cotopaxi for $59 (non negotiable) 1st stop (around … Continue reading 2 days in Latacunga
