From Cartagena to the village of Minca at the slopes of the Sierra Nevada. After this backpacky hotspot then the colonial towns in the eastern part of the country – Mompós, Girón, and Zapatoca. A mix of wetland along Rio Magdalena and the slopes of the Cordillera Oriental.
Quite some time to visit beautiful Cartagena and a nearby beach while waiting for Prado to be back on the road again.
On to Panama City. Not because the country’s capital is so fascinating. No, just to get our way thru Panamá incredible bureaucrazy. Dear Indian citizens, you could learn from them.
Panama A country pretty different from Costa Rica. A country with a huge divergence between the well heeled and all others. Our trip – a mix of tropical islands with turquoise water for snorkeling and green hills for hiking.
The trip from the hot Pacific Coast to the humid Caribbean. On the way some of the highest volcanoes of Costa Rica.
A visit to some national parks in Costa Rica’s jungle. Maybe not the pristine rainforest you may except. Rather a kind of well-developed wilderness for poor tourists searching for their ultimate nature adventure.
After 10 months of asylum in Swizzyland we’re back in Costa Rica. To continue our trip to Punta Arenas. No idea how far we’ll get. Probably these coronies will tell us.
A short trip to Costa Rica during Corona times. Who the hell would be crazy enough to do that. Well, overlanders having to save their vehicle from confiscation by smart, but powerful locals. Thus, a trip to save Prado and a few days to visit some places in the country. And an opportunity to sit in a plane for more than 12h each way.
Along Nicaragua’s western part. Some volcanoes to sneak around. Then traveling around is getting more complicated. Corona starts to hit Central America. Everything starts to close down. We quickly leave Nicaragua for Costa Rica, prepare our early departure and we’re on the way to Swizzyland. To wait for the end of this mess.
A journey thru Nicaragua’s West. Somoto and Selva Negra. Some remnants of the war against dictator Somoza. Then to Leon: the great colonial town.
