We spent 9 days in Cusco, Peru, with kids, in April 2017. On this post, I’m going to tell you all about it. It’s a breathtaking city, we fell in love with it even before landing. The views from the airplane are stunning! Worth staying awake! High altitude alert! Cusco is 11,152’ or 3,399 m […]
Taking the kids to visit Machu Picchu was one of the most memorable moments of our trip so far. It was CRAZY, it was emotional, it was intense. We visited Machu Picchu, Peru, in April 2017, with kids. On this guide, I’ll tell you all about it, from planning, to transport, costs, food, weather, … […]
I used to think that traveling with kids (just as I used to think about homeschooling) is a LOT of work, very little enjoyment, and super expensive. Turns out, I was right (it IS expensive), yet, I was also wrong. It’s not that much work, and it’s just so much fun! Trust me, we’ve been […]
Our time in Bolivia had incredible trips: to Salar de Uyuni (Uyuni salt flats) and Tiahuanaco (Tiwanaku) ruins. Our time in La Paz was almost all spent in bed – not the best month of our travel at all. But it was incredible, it was SO different from everywhere else in South America, such a […]

It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, full of amazing stuff to be seen. It’s a great day trip from La Paz, Bolivia! We contacted Diego, from Ar-bol Toursn and […]
We had our first encounter with the altitude sickness in La Paz, Bolivia. It wasn’t really nice and mild as we were expecting. We’ve felt it in Cusco (Peru), and then in Bogotá (Colombia). We felt the lack of oxygen. It was like not being able to breathe and fill our lungs, no matter how […]

One of MY travel dreams was the Bolivian salt flats. After skipping the Atacama desert and Patagonia in Chile, this one was just NOT going to be missed. I’m so incredibly glad we went, it was the most amazing adventure EVER! A big one, I must say. We visited it in March 2017. Let’s start […]
So, well, even though Chile wasn’t our favorite destination ever, the Andes surely must be seen up-close. It was amazing, for sure. It was a super short series, mostly because we didn’t enjoy that much. If you’re ever in Chile, be sure to try Mote, which is a drink/food that tastes like the liquid from […]
