From the jungle I hear a cacophony of sounds of animals. They wake up in the immense greenery, while the morning dew surrounds the forest like a veil. I am on the edge of Tayrona National Park.
I lie in my hammock and look out over the estate in front of me. In the corner of my eye I see a hummingbird snacking honey from an elegant dispenser attached to the edge of the veranda. I'm at Hacienda Bambusa in Colombia.
Together with the dog Samba I walk through the vast pampas and think of last week. From the southern Patagonia to the wild jungle in the northeast of the country. What a great trip.
Deep in the Colombian Amazon, lies the intimate Calanoa Jungle Lodge. For over 30 years Marlene and Diego Samper have welcomed their guests here. It is a wonderful place where you can really get acquainted with the nature and cultures of the Amazon.
Peru is a destination you should definitely visit at some point in your life. Why? Because the country has a lot to offer. Would you like to make a nice trip through the land of the Incas? Then these five activities should definitely not be missed.
For the true nature lover, Ecuador is a unique and attractive destination. The country is relatively small, but has a wide variety of eco-systems. We want to share three special places with you.
We are welcomed by two enthusiastic guides of the Pacuare lodge and we get a life jacket, helmet and paddles. We are brought to our accommodation for the next few days while rafting. It promises to be an adventurous stay.
In my constant search for unique places, I have seen Kura Design Villas in Costa Rica pass by several times. I wanted to go there once. November 2018 I got the chance to visit this beautiful place myself.
