“Normal” people usually go and visit Iguassu Falls when in Foz do Iguacu, the small city at the Brazilian border with Argentina. But as we are not “normal” and as we had already been overwhelmed by the greatness of the falls on the Argentinian side, we decided to start emerging in the Brazilian culture instead. […]
Tones of water throwing themselves over the cliffs making strong noise stating their majesty, mist rising amongst the infinite untouched jungle, beauty, natural strength…no wonder Eleanor Roosevelt has exclaimed “Poor Niagara!” on her first sight of Iguazu Falls, taller and twice as wide as the American waterfall. Considered one of the 7 natural wonders of […]
I’ve been thinking about this blog post for a while, trying to find the best description for this wonderful city, though I still find it very difficult. There are so many things to say!

These are just some of the reasons that pushed us further every day during this year. And it seems that these motives have pushed […]
A legend always needs some specific elements: one or several heroes, an environment who’s against them, a glorious battle and a final victory for the hero. So when we were put in front of a truly legendary trek for a truly legendary mountain, we ought to write our own legend… it goes like this: […]
It’s not always easy to make a top of the most beautiful things we’ve seen. If we compare the physical characteristics (altitude, size, depth …) the order comes naturally: the highest mountain/volcano/waterfall, the longest river, the largest cave/lake… But what happens when we have to choose the one we liked the most? Well, we usually […]
