Hiking Skaftafell Glacier This was our Day #3 activity and was located along the Ring Road in southeastern Iceland, about 2.5 hours east of Vik. This was hands-down my favorite activity that we did during our trip. My sister thought it was a little too hard as it was about a 4 hour hike total… Continue reading Ice, Ice Baby – Ice Caves, Icebergs and Glacier Hiking in Iceland
After the Golden Circle, we headed south on the Ring Road (Highway 1) towards the coastal town of Vik. Along the way, you pass by a large glacier called Myrdalsjokull that you can see between the cliffs. The water run off from this glacier creates several impressive waterfalls along Route 1, including two very well… Continue reading Driving in Iceland, Scenic Views and Riding Icelandic Horses in Vik
Visit Thingvellir National Park and walk between two tectonic plates We took Highway 36 out of Reykavik and our first stop was Thingvellir National Park. This is a very large park and our short visit didn’t do justice to it as there are lots of hikes and picnic areas here. The park is also the… Continue reading Driving the Golden Circle in Iceland and What to See
We’re back from our 4 day (which ended up being 5 days thanks to our return flight being cancelled due to weather) trip to Iceland! We loved every minute of our visit to this fascinating country and we were blown away by the scenery and geology that we encountered. I have so many posts and… Continue reading Things to do and eat in Reykavik, Iceland
Our last stop in Argentina was San Antonio de Areco, which is about a 90 minute drive west of Buenos Aires. It’s in an area of Argentina called “La Pampas” and it’s large plains and ranches are perfect for raising cattle for all those great steaks. We booked a two night stay at a historic… Continue reading Estancia La Bamba – Gaucho Experience
Mendoza is located at the Western edge of Argentina on the border with Chile and is at the foot of the Andes mountains. It’s also a very dry, desert-like climate so it’s very different from the humid jungle that we just came from. This is also Argentina’s main wine producing area and it’s best known… Continue reading Wine Tasting in Mendoza, Argentina
After our 3 days in the jungle at Awasi Iguazu, we packed up and flew west towards the Andes Mountains to Mendoza, Argentina. We were able to get a direct flight from Iguazu to Mendoza but it made a quick stop in the city of Salta (no plane change). This was much more efficient than… Continue reading Our Stay at Cavas Wine Lodge, Mendoza, Argentina
As I mentioned in my last post, Awasi Iguazu provides each of its guests with their own private guide and driver for each day of their stay. On our first day, we sat down with our guide, Carolina, and went over the extensive list of options for activities and excursions. Like most guests, we spent… Continue reading Jungle Trekking Around Iguazu Falls
We stayed three nights in Iguazu and we were so happy that we chose the newest hotel in the area, Awasi Iguazu. Awasi is a fairly new luxury hotel brand and they only have 3 locations, all in South America – Awasi Atacama Desert, Awasi Patagonia and now the Awasi Iguazu. There are only 14… Continue reading Our Stay at Awasi Iguazu
After two days in Buenos Aires, we hopped a 1.5 hour flight on Aerolineas Argentina, the country’s airline, for Puerto Iguazu, which is located in the northern part of Argentina on the border with Brazil and Paraguay. (Very decent airline, BTW). Iguazu Falls, which by many counts is the world’s largest waterfall (depending on whether… Continue reading Iguazu Falls, Argentina
