A city which I will always go back to...a city full of memories i its every corner..a city to love and live..I miss you Rio
The clean capital city of Morocco
Rio and Sao Paulo..Two cities I always like going back!
Nice beach town a couple of hours from Marrakesh
Marrakesh, Morocco
Here is a short video from the night we stayed in traditional Berber tents in the middle of Sahara dessert.The guys are amusing the tourist with their music under a thousand stars in the dessert.
Port city of Morcco just accross Spain on the strait of Gibraltar.It was interestng to see how African population increases here coming from the surrounding countries and seeking a way to cross into Europe.
Commercial capital of Morocco.Morocco's modern face with more high-educated people,more liberal lifestyle but a horrible traffic!A city with not much to see apart from the great mosque but it wa good time there as I could get to see some nice people : )
Hidden gems in the south Brazil.Serra Geral National Park offers visitors 2 fantastic canyons : Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho.Boht of them has their own beauties and should be visited when you are in the area!
A great escape from the hustle and the bustle of Buenos Aires and plus you have a nice promenade to walk!Montevideo is as bohemian as Buenos Aires but a smaller,more chill version with higher standards of living.I loved staying there for a couple of days but you may get bored if you live there!
Brazil's famous beach city called shortly as Floripa is mostly preferred by Argentinians in search of beautiful beach which do not exist many in Argentina.The city is located on an island with 42 tropical beaches surrounded by dense Atlantic forest.Floripa is also referred as gay capital of Brazil thanks to its open minded culture and nightlife.Unfortunately my photos from these magical beaches have got lost so I am sharing only some pics that I could pick up from my watsapp messages!
The capital of Brazil's well-developped state of Rio Grande do Sul and de-fact capital of Mercosur as being at the crossroads of Br,Arg,Par,And Uy the city takes many advantages of the organization.Highest rate of education and books bouth per year are also what makes Porto Alegre particular in this massive country.It was my 1st stop in Brazil after coming back from Uruguay..Oi Gauchosss!
High-rise upmarket resort town of Uruguay preferred by the rich of Argentina,Uruguay and south of Brazil.Thank God I was not there during the high season..
Accessed after a long trip through the dessert,Ushuaia,the souhernmost city of the world, welcomes you with high mountains and a scandinavian atmosphere.I ve done many hikes here which were all very beautiful including the southernmost glacier of the world!
The first capital and my 1st stop in Uruguay.Lovely little town..
The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is an association of Argentine mothers whose children " disappeared " during the state terrorism of the military dictatorship , between 1976 and 1983. They organized while trying to learn what had happened to their children, and began to march in 1977 at the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires , in front of the Casa Rosada presidential palace, in public defiance of the government's state terrorism intended to silence all opposition.To the people of the country, this era represents the lives taken, families broken, and numerous human rights atrocities executed by Argentina's military regime .The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo were the initial responders to these human rights violations.Together, the women created a dynamic and unexpected force, which existed in opposition to traditional limitations on women and motherhood in Latin America .The mothers came together, and pushed for information on the whereabouts of their children.In carrying out these efforts they also highlighted for the world the human rights violations occurring, and raised awareness on local and global scales.Their legacy and subsequent progress have been successful due to their sustained group organization, use of symbols and slogans, and silent weekly protests.
Today, the Mothers are persistently engaged in the struggle for human, political, and civil rights in Latin America and elsewhere.
And I had the unique chance of joining their march against human right violations and for more civil right.
After leaving Argenitinian Immigration,I started walking towards the Chilean early in the morning.This is the most remote area in southern Patagonia,it was a misty day and I had some 5-6 kms until Chilean border immigration from where I could hope for a lift further.It was cold,the silence was only broken by the sound of running guanacos and I was walking with my backpack..No description will fit into what I felt when walking there,it was a truly fantastic experience!
Made it in 4.5 days from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires.Lots of truck drivers,good people and adventres!Total distance over 3000 kms
Nice national park with many lakes,hikes and beautiful nature!
Swiss-like town in Argentinian Patagonia famous for its fascinating Perito Moreno Glacier.
Fonded as an outpost over the land dispute with Chile,El Chalten has turned into a completely tourism based hiking location due to Parque Nacional Los Glaciares and Fitz Roy Hike.Money withdrawal is a major problem in town as there was only 1 atm working in the town by the beginning of 2017 and credit cards are not accepted by many shops and hotels.Still there are many buildings under construction.Fitz Roy shows itself not very easily as most of the time it was surrounded by fog but if it does,it is a breathtaking view ,especially at the sunrise when the sun is reflecting over the rocks.Many people hike here through an easy trail to see the sunrise.
An upmarket hiking and ski town in Argentinian Patagoia.The prices are quite expensive and has very beatiful nature.
Some fun moments on the way to Buenos Aires on a truck hıtchiking : )

This has been one of my interesting hikes in Patagonia for several reasons : 1st.I was walking totally alone during 2 days (In the meaning that I didnt have any fellow hikers walking with me anytime,I came accross with several people coming from the opposite direction though. 2.This was my 1st time changing a country in such a way. 3.I camped alone in an abandoned airport which filled me with the enthusiasm for running through the airfield naked but it was too cold for it! :D :D After arrival by an expensive ferry to the other side of O'Higgins Lake where there is just a campsite for the hikers that get stuck and a military outpost for stamping in/out of Chile,I started walking around 5pm with an aim to walk at least 12kms where I could wildcamp in the abandoed airport theoricly in chilean territories but practicly in no man's land.When I was still on the ferry,an American hiker that has boarded on the boat from the opposite side told me about this place.Becaue most people start walking at early hours,I would not bother start a challenging hike as this after 5pm i I didnt get this info from him.As I imagined,there was on one walking in the same direction with me because they should have already left hours ago.After convincing Chilean police that I would not make a fire wherever I would camp (they knew that it was not possible for me to walk enough to reach Argentina after 5pm so they didnt want to let me go) and letting them check my luggage to proove I havenothing to cook,I started walking uphill with turquoise colors of O'Higgins Lake shining with the setting sun..The Chilean Side was rather organized,well-marked with signs and had a large path.Considering the backpack,front bag and foodpack in my hand,I approximately had 22-23 kgs of load but the relatiely better conditions of the path compensated that to make my hike easier.I was fast enough to arrive in the airport just enough time before finding a spot and putting up my tent.Going throught the old gateof the
When hitchiking in Patagonia there is one thing you do NOT need to carry with you :WATER!!Every 15 mins you will see a potable water source..I have never seen so many waterfalls,glacier lakes and pure waters in my life.Filling up my bottle everywhere and drinking it without any treatment!! Patagonya'da otostop yaparken asla yaninizda tasimaniza gerek olmayan bir sey varsa o da SU!Her 15 dakikada bir icilebilir bir su kaynagiyla karsilasiyorsunuz.Hayatimda bu kadar ck selale,buzul sulariyla beslenen nehir ve goller,bu kadar ck ve saf su gormedim.Ben de sisemi her derede doldurup hic bir islem yapmadan dogrudan iciyorum!!!! #Patagonia. #Chile #Argentina. #travelling
Ice breaking at O'Higgins Glacier.Until I started recording It was almost over but still looks so fantastic!!! O'Higgins Buzulu'ndaki muhtesem buz kirilmasi.Ben kayit etmeye baslayana kadar neredeyse bitti;fakat yine de cekebildigim kadari bile fantastik!!! #Ice #glacier #Patagonia #Chile #travelling
Anoche en Santiago passando por una calle,escuche esta musica,algo que conozco,que me gusta pero cual era?Ballenatoo!!!En un moment mi mente totalmente volvio a un año altras,me acuerde estos lindos dias cuando venia ballenato,cumbia,salsa de todos los lados,todas las calles...Queria volver a estas calles en esse segundo..Que mal que el tiempo es muy salvaje,no puedes gelarlo,los momentos tan preciosos...Te extraño Colombiaa❤❤❤
Didn't arrive here with much expectation but I'm liking this city more and more each day.There is plenty to do.Today I went to traditional Bolivian Wrestling.Here is another face of Bolivia.It was a fun Sunday : )
Daily Life At Salvador Streets - Salvador is the most colourful part of Brazil.Here I made a random video showing you the daily life going about in this historic and entertaining city.
In the historic colonnial city of Olinda,they have a tradition of improvising lyrics to their music.When I was walking down the street with my friend,these 2 old man asked where I was from and they improvised a song for me..Although I don't understand the whole thing,It was funny.Maybe Portuguese speaking friends can help me understand what these guys are singing about : )
