Hiking the Salkantay Trek has been one of my highlights from my travels so far. Peru is all about hiking and I showed up totally unprepared. I signed up to do the trek the night before and before I knew it I was leaving a few hours later...

Nestled at the heart of Arequipa, often referred to a city-within-a-city, The Monastery of Santa Catalina de Siena founded in 1579, less than 40 years after the Spanish arrived. Women from various backgrounds have entered the convent to serve as...

Its impressive formations might make you think you're walking on the moon. Scientists have even tested prototype robots for Mars due to its dry terrain. If you go on the tour, you'll visit some impressive salt caves which for only two weeks of the year get flooded...

Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain was high on my list. Initially checking out the prices of tours with numerous agencies in Cusco, it just didn't feel worthwhile to spend between $20-40 only to get to Rainbow Mountain and find that...

La Paz isn't for everyone.Travelling through Bolivia, the chances are that you'll be passing through the bustling city of La Paz more than once...

When in Chile, chances are you'll be popping over to the Atacama Desert. One of the driest places on earth there's a whole array of things to do and see. Many will involve tours but if you're willing to brave the heat, there's so much you can do just from renting a bike...

Picture yourself looking down at dazzling turquoise waters lying beneath cascading waterfalls and gorgeous glaciers, occasionally hearing the loud thunder of a distant avalanche. It's no wonder that Laguna 69 is at the top of any hikers list visiting Huaraz and not to be missed.

Eager to visit and somewhat selfishly have it all to myself, I spent a few good hours researching online and talking to locals. Here's a step by step guide on how to visit away from the tour groups....

Located in the Huascarán National Park around 1.5 hours outside of Huaraz, Laguna Churup is one of the few lakes that can be done on your own without a guide or a tour bus. If you're looking to hike somewhere without the crowds of tour buses...

The Salar de Uyuni tour takes you to unimaginably stunning landscapes across Bolivia. From salt deserts and active volcanoes to lagunas reflecting, ruby, emerald and sapphire hues. From wild flamingos to rocky desert landscapes, geysers, hot springs and salt hotels, the itinerary will keep you on your toes with one surprise after another...

One might think that the more I travel, the shorter my bucket-list becomes. Yet every time I visit a new city or country, that list just seems to be ever growing. Stretching my legs in Sucre after a 9-hour rugged bus journey, a brief stop-over turned into...

The world's largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, is one of the most breathtaking beauties of the world. Formed from evaporated prehistoric lakes, stretching 10,582 kilometres squared, it is home to one of the largest lithium mines in...

Tupiza was my first introduction to Bolivia (minus the border crossing). This little town nestled at 2900 meters above sea level, enclosed by a rainbow spectrum of mountains lies peacefully in a gorgeous desert region...

Last month I left you debating whether I'd be exploring Chile or Bolivia. Toss of a coin and Bolivia became next month's adventures. And boy, were you an adventure Bolivia...

I love flying to new destinations but when it comes to buying a flight, I hate being priced out by an airline ticket! Scouring tickets online, I almost decided not to fly to South America until I stumbled upon Norwegian Airlines...

Diving into the local cuisine is one of my favourite things to do on my travels. I don't know about you but the hardest part of this is knowing where to go and what to eat. Getting stuck into tourist traps is so easy...

I'll be honest with you, I'm not the biggest fan of border crossings overland. Initially really hesitant as a solo traveller to cross into Bolivia from Argentina, however, I decided to give it a shot. If you're starting in Salta or one of the northern Argentinian towns in Jujuy, here's what you need to know...

Argentina has been one of my favourite countries to travel to date! Looking back less than 2 months ago, I was terrified to book my airline ticket and spent days changing my mind on where to go.  Should I just stay in Europe? It's so much safer and easier. The fear of travelling to South America as a solo female traveller petrified me...

There are a handful of places that I've fallen in love with over my travels and Buenos Aires is up there in the top few where I've felt at home. I arrived mid-July with a backpack full of pretty much the same clothes I had...

Cerro de Los Siete Colores (Hill of the 7 Colours) located in the picturesque little town of Purmamarca north of Salta, is composed of 7 different colours derived from different types of rock formed over millions of years. This breath-taking sight...
