As you might have read from our previous post, we got our caravan pretty late. So, on the first day, we had a tight schedule if we wanted to see anything on the north island. The Estonian girl who worked in the rental company advised us to travel to Rotorua definitely. Jaanus got used to …
Our flight from Calama to Punta Arenas had a 4-hour layover in Santiago. We met one local guy at the airport who was also flying to Punta Arenas for work. He was sharing some tips what to do in Santiago because we planned to stay there a few days after our hike. He saved us …
After we left Antigua, we decided to spend the rest of the week by infamous Lake Atitlan. This crater lake which, is surrounded by volcanoes, is referred to one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. To get there we needed to take a 3 hours bus ride. We took a local “chicken bus” …

We went to Andorra with the plan to conquer its highest mountain Coma Pedrosa. First, when we arrived, we right away noticed the difference in temperature with Spain. It was much much cooler. For the first night, we found a camping near La Mansana. It was quite pricey, but not also overly expensive as we …
The Coma Pedrosa hiking day started cheerfully. We slept in (totally), but it did not bother us much, because we thought that the 7 hours trail would probably be a piece of cake. The guy from the information center at least left us with such an opinion. So we started the hike around 10.30. Already …
