Rio de Janeiro

What a place! We had about 5/6 days in Rio and I wish we had more. It is just such a fun place with an awesome vibe but what you hear about crime in Rio is true so be extra vigilant and leave valuable belongings at home! I would love to go back to Rio … More Rio de Janeiro

Machu Picchu

A wonder of the world. I’m so glad I saw Machu Picchu because it is just as glorious as you see in the pictures. However my favourite part was definitely seeing/playing with the llamas on top of the hill. A must do when in Peru How to get there: There are a range of options … More Machu Picchu

Cusco

Cusco is a cool little city in the middle of the Andes mountains and is actually higher up than Machu Picchu. We didn’t stay long as the only reason we were visiting was to go to Machu Picchu but the time we spent there was fun. Accommodation: Wild Rover This was recommended to us by … More Cusco

San Blas Islands

Paradise! We paid a small fortune to sail on a catamaran for 5 days through the San Blas Islands and it was absolutely incredible. San Blas is commonly known for being the summer desktop wallpaper for Microsoft and it is even more spectacular in person. I would 100% recommend doing the islands at some stage … More San Blas Islands

Cartagena

Welcome to Colombia… My favourite place on earth (other than Melbourne of course). No matter where you are in Colombia you are going to have a good time! Cartegena is a beautiful place where two worlds meet: old and new! The old town is where it’s at though because the new part honestly just looks … More Cartagena

Medellín

One of my favourite cities. I usually don’t like visiting cities particularly when they don’t have a beach but Medellin is awesome. If you stay in the right place you can experience the dance and food culture so prominent in the city. El Poblado – the wealthier part of the city is absolutely stunning and … More Medellín

Panama City

There are too parts to Panama City – one is the usual Central America City which sucks and then there is the new part. Make sure you stay in the new part! I was actually so surprised by how huge Panama City is, there is full on sky scrapers and amazing shopping. Accommodation: Hostel Villa … More Panama City

Guatemala City

Just don’t bother… It’s just a shitty city that’s dangerous and boring lol. We only stayed here because we were flying out and I would suggest that be the only reason you are there. Accommodation: Theatre International Hostel A nice enough place to stay. Nothing fancy but it has a little spa there which would … More Guatemala City

Lanquin

Lanquin is a tiny town with only dirt roads and a few little shops. Generally you don’t stay there but at the various AMAZING hostels in the mountains. How to get there: bus Using the same bus company from Belize to Flores we booked our tickets to Lanquin. The bus ride generally takes about 8-10 … More Lanquin

Flores

We were in Flores basically for a pit stop between Caye Caulker and Lanquin so we were only there overnight but it is a beautiful place and I would 100% recommend anyone going to Guatemala to go there. Surrounded by a huge lake, Flores has so much charm about it. How to get there: bus … More Flores
