I went trekking for the whole day. I started late and before I left the hostel, I took a map at the reception. It said it'd take 4 hours one way to go to the mountain top. I still had time. It was a nice walk but very hot. I arrived at a cross road. The … Continue reading Trekking To Mount Fitz Roy
Arrived at Bariloche from Buenos Aires this afternoon. The bus was late. It was so hot here. The hostel staff drove me to the hostel. It turned out their hostel was overbooked. In the end, they offered me a bed on the floor of a 'living room' and gave me a huge discount. That sounded … Continue reading The Hot But Beautiful Bariloche And Patagonia

According to the tour guide, the Inca Trail we were taking was a secondary one. The commercial one had a quota and was very expensive. There were altogether … Continue reading Machu Picchu Jungle Trail Trip Day 2
It was hard for me to believe it was December. I am sure all the backpackers will agree that time flies especially when you’re on the road. After taking a rest last night to acclimatise, I went out to explore this city. It was another small city but it was very attractive. I loved the … Continue reading Cuzco, A Must-Go Place
I met another backpacker in my hostel in Cuenca. We decided to walk around the city. I didn’t write down many details in my journal but as far as I remember, we took a bus to the lookout as both of us wanted to go there. You can find handicrafts here.

Cloudy. Occasional rain. I think that was what the weather was like at that time of the year. I decided to do some hiking at Rio Verde to see the waterfall which was a bit far from the Baños town centre so I took a bus which cost nearly nothing.

It was indeed a much-anticipated trip but the nightmare came on my first day on the boat - my period came so I couldn’t go snorkelling. But, I had an idea.
