Posted by Marcell Claassen. One of the cool 'Moto' taxis in Huaraz. Keep in mind these prices are from June to October 2014 and only for the bus companies and taxis I travelled with; where I got various quotes I’ll give them as well. Very important to remember is that on and around public holidays all the bus ticket prices go up, as much as $2.00 per ticket on the budget companies. 280 for USD ( $. S/ 50 with taxi. (1- 1. Booked online through Hitchhikers Hostel Lima in Miraflores where I was staying.

NW Tanzania - Rusumo Falls to Bukoba. Posted by Marcell Claassen. A stretch of road for 15miles with Copper Sunbird. After dropping the escort off, north of Kamisi Game Reserve we'd just driven through, there were some more patches and amazing scenery. This is a "good" section of road by the way! Stopping occasionally, the Tz list got underway with Sooty Chat. Extremely common I would eventually realise), Green-winged Pytilia. Were everywhere with a few female Bateleurs. The road further to Bukoba and La...

Craving views at Forbidden heights? Posted by Marcell Claassen. One of the views from the viewing area at the top of the one tower. Ever seen those postcards with the grand panoramas of a city and thought "Wow, I want to get at least one photo like that! I'm sure you have as have many other people - problem is that some people will unfortunately never to get to see those views for themselves. Fear of heights and vertigo can be terrible, especially if you're travelling. Final bit is even steeper. This tak...

Posted by Marcell Claassen. The name of this trek is probably one of the two you’ll hear the most around Huaraz, the other being the 8-9 day Huayhuash trek through the Cordillera Huayhuash. The Santa Cruz is very popular especially among the travellers who don’t have much time when visiting Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca as it’s a 51km 4-day trek that can also be done in 3 days. And starts at 3,900m altitude and peaks at 4,625m at the azure blue waters of Laguna 69 . (see post on Laguna 69 trek. This i...

Posted by Marcell Claassen. During my stay in Colombia so far, everyday has produced something incredible, great or just simply an amazing moment. Chachagüí, in Nariño departement, an area of mountains and forest is just perfect - my passion and love of forests and mountains are in top gear here. Blue-black and gold wasp. Thanks to Humberto for calling me to photograph this! Looking around, I found it - a tarantula and not small either! This was just amazing! The camera flash had just lightened it. There...

Love Hiking and Trekking? Posted by Marcell Claassen. The type of panoramas you can expect on trails in the area. Exploring the area around Chachagüí via the many trails that exist, is a rewarding experience - even for the most cynical out there. Although the walking trails require more development and collaboration (of utmost importance! The great thing is that many of these trails can be adapted to themed walks with local guides like. Emerald Toucanet - great walks for birdwatchers too. Development onl...
