We spent 2 months travelling around Brazil and absolutely loved it! In this travel guide we’ll show you how to create the perfect 3 week itinerary including off the beaten path locations to get a well-rounded, authentic experience!

We absolutely loved Colombia and are sure you will too! From the colourful towns to the beautiful scenery, friendliest of people, most delicious food, sound of salsa in the streets and overall great vibes- Colombia has it all! Check out our guide for the ultimate 2-week itinerary.

Our first stop in our South American travels was Peru, the exotic land where Paddington came from. We had no idea what to expect- would it be warm or cold, what would the nature and the people be like, what about the food?? Pretty much our only must-see was Machu Picchu (obviously) but other than that we were totally open!

If you’re looking for a no-fuss, easy access guide for travelling to Machu Picchu then look no further! When we originally researched our trip it was a bit confusing as there seems to be a few different options to get to this magical wonder, so in this guide we’ll tell you exactly how to get there as cheaply and quickly as possible.

Here we’ll show you how we went around Bolivia on a budget and what our best bits were. After visiting Peru, we ventured over land to beautiful Bolivia for just under 2 weeks. We found the two countries to be fairly similar in some respects, such as the culture, food and climate.

High up in the clouds near the crest of the Andes at an elevation of 3,656 metres above sea level you’ll find Salar de Uyuni (Uyuni Salt Flats). At 10,582 square kilometres this is the largest salt flat in the world and oh boy is it impressive!

After an epic time in the Bolivian Salt Flats, we entered Chile through the super cute San Pedro de Atacama – in the driest desert in the world! We loved it here, it’s very small but a great place to warm our bones after the icy conditions of being 2500+ meters above sea level and spend some quality time with our newfound friends.

After entering Argentina through the Chile border, we settled in Mendoza (wine capital) first. This was also where we had our second (and final, for now) Couchsurfing experience! Then we headed over to cool Buenos Aires before making a swift exit through the EPIC Iguazu Falls as we hadn’t quite realised how expensive Argentina was!
