This amazing island can be found in the middle of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. I had a good hike there in the blazing sun back on the very first day of November last year. The boats leave from the small town on the shore of the lake, not too far from the Peruvian border, Copacabana. …

Train Journeys – Nariz Del Diablo, Ecuador

Ecuador has recently got a number of trains up and running, and polished up the service on some of the others like the ‘Nariz del Diablo’ – The Nose of the Devil. This is a good thing. Probably. Well I prefer train journeys that are proper journeys instead of a short tourist ride to be …
