Chilean lovin

maybe I like so much Chile because the flag makes it feel a bit like home #texasforever

or maybe it´s because it is full of colors and good vibes

Mendoza!

I am staying at the most amazing hostel in Maipu in the heart of Mendoza's best vineyards

here you can go on a bike tour to do tastings at as many wineries as possible

the views are stunning

 

and when you've had too much wine, you can just hope on a tandem bike and have someone else do all the biking

 

if you're really lucky, you can get the tour guide to fill up your water bottle as a souvenir

for lunch you can stop at an olive grove and do an olive oil tasting

and then finish off with a liquor and spirits tasting

overall, I'm probably enjoying myself way too much here :)

waterfalls and toucans and coati - oh my! (Iguazu)

i almost skipped going to Iguazu, but luckily a great friend talked me into going (thanks Erin :) )

it was incredible

the falls were beautiful, extraordinary and so much fun

i took a boat ride under the falls

the craziest water adventure ever

and did a jungle tour (self-guided) to find some animals. this is a plush crested jay

i loved the toucans

there were a few monkeys

tons of coati

and a few reptiles
location: Iguazu Falls

smoking mountain (El Chalten)

this is the magical place Patagonia Outdoor Clothing and Gear is named after

Cerro Torre

Cerro Fitz Roy

if I had my own trekking gear company, I would name it after here too
