A year through Latin America

Well, we have had a wonderful year full of unforgettable experiences and adventures and met so many interesting people over the course of our long journey. It really is such a diverse continent with everything from Caribbean beaches and tropical rainforest to mountains and glaciers. The continent was all we hoped for and more, as you probably realize, since we ended up spending a year there and had only planned to stay for six months. We would recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of adventure. Argentina especially is a wonderful, beautiful country, very well developed and easy to get around. For us it was a bit of much needed luxury after the adventures of slightly more challenging countries like Bolivia and Columbia. Buenos Aires is probably the one place we would really like to go back to. It is a great city with vibrant night life, amazing food and a fantastic climate.
I think on the whole Bolivia was probably one of the countries we enjoyed the most although we didn’t see that much of it. It is a very varied and a beautiful country with a rich culture that hasn’t become too commercialised yet. Sadly, it is probably one of the poorest countries we visited, but this made it one of the cheapest to travel in. The salt lakes tour we went on there was through some of the most extraordinary landscapes we have ever seen.

We spent over four months in the Guianas, which gave us the opportunity to work with some fantastic people in some unusual places and to study some rare and extraordinary animals.

We are now in New Zealand enjoying Christmas in Auckland with family and are looking forward to three weeks here travelling and relaxing. On January 15 we fly to Sydney and will be back in London at the beginning of March, 2006.
