Il vous faudra passer par Patacamaya. A moins que vous ne veniez du Chili, et que vous aimiez marcher. How to get to Sajama To get to Sajama, you will necessarily have to stop at Patacamaya. Unless you come from Chile, and you like to walk. Sajama, when you come from Chile Another option remains possible. If you want to avoid a transfer, and save the price of a collectivo, you can take a bus from La Paz to Arica in Chile (the same transfer is possible in the other direction). Inform the driver of your intention to get off at Sajama. It will leave you about ten kilometers from the village. The rest will be hitchhiking or walking according to your desires. A single collectivo for the return To leave Sajama, get ahead. And be ready to run. A single collectivo leaves every morning at 6 a.m., in the direction of Patacamaya, for 30 bolis per person. But the number of passengers far exceeds the number of seats. So get ready to go on a Bolivian race: a bit every man for himself. But don't worry, they don't let anyone on the dock. Well, normally. In Patacamaya, collectivos or collective taxis (12 bolivianos) will then drop you off at El Alto. It is also possible to get to Oruro from Patacamaya. Sajama is (really) worth a visit. The journeys leading to this mountain village take quite a few shortcuts. Whether you come from La Paz or Oruro, you will have to stop at Patacamaya, halfway between the two cities. To do this, take a bus on the Oruro-La Paz line (or in the other direction) and clearly indicate to the driver your intention to get off at Patacamaya. Arrive before noon in Patacamaya Once left by the side of the road (maps.me is your best friend), you will have to join the main artery of the city to catch a collectivo in the direction of Sajama. Once full, it will get you there in about 3 hours, for 30 bolis per person. To avoid any possible collectivo misses, be sure to leave in the morning from La Paz or Oruro in order to be in Patacamaya before noon.

On aurait pu passer des semaines et des mois sur l’île du Sud en Nouvelle-Zélande... mais pas notre porte-monnaie. Alors si le temps (c’est de l’argent) vous est compté, voilà un itinéraire d’une courte semaine d’immersion dans le Sud. New Zealand: 7-Day South Island Itinerary We could have spent weeks and months on the South Island in New Zealand... but not our wallet. So if time (it's money) is limited, here is a short week of immersion in the South. Milford Sound in the early morning Once again, we were bound by time and the South Island is worth exploring in more days/weeks. But during our short stay, this route has already allowed us to take full view! The North has whetted our appetites! So we're off from Auckland, heading to Queenstown for a short week in the South of New Zealand. With 7 days to get a taste of these sublime mountains (the landing in Queenstown is magnificent). D1: arrival in Queenstown and stroll along Lake Wakatipu D2: Glenorchy then road to Wanaka D3: Isthmus Peak, a very untouristy hike with magnificent landscapes D4: Roys Peak, more touristy but just as amazing D5: road to Te Anau and stroll along the lake of the same name D6: Milford Sound road then return to Queenstown D7: Ben Lomond Track then send postcards before plane Itinerary What to do in Whangarei?

Après plusieurs semaines passées à déguster les mets boliviens, un stop chez SwissFondue vous fera du bien. How to eat in La Paz After several weeks spent tasting Bolivian dishes, a culinary stop at SwissFondue, in La Paz, will do you the greatest good. The landscapes of Bolivia are sumptuous. Its inhabitants form a very endearing people. But their cuisine can sometimes frustrate the tourist who loves good food. If it causes an instant return to childhood, the salchipapa actually has a hard time convincing with its refinement. In Sopocachi, the scene is set Comfort is surely to be found in La Paz. In the chic district of Sopocachi, you cannot miss the sign. A wooden storefront, a red flag with a white cross and an evocative name: Swissfondue. The decor is set, tonight we enjoy. Around 20€ per evening A fondue, a bottle of wine and a chocolate fondue later, it's time for reconciliation (it takes about twenty euros all the same). A tasting like an express return to the European winter. To better face future milanesas de pollo.

Pour quitter le Laos, on passe par la frontière Pang Hoc-Tay Trang (Vietnam). Court arrêt entre Muang Khua et Diên Biên Phu. How and where to cross the border between Laos and Vietnam To leave Laos from the north, you go through the border post of Pang Hoc (Laos) - Tay Trang (Vietnam). A simple stop on the way on our bus from Muang Khua to Diên Biên Phu. Entrance will be from the north. After three weeks in Laos, we go to Vietnam. At 6:30 a.m., we head to the (small) square of Muang Khua to catch the bus going to Diên Biên Phu. For 60,000 kips, we are promised a 4-hour trip with, en route, crossing the border at Pang Hoc - Tay Trang. If you want to reach Vietnam after staying in Nong Khiaw, you must go to Muang Khua. You have two options. Either a direct departure from Nong Khiaw by boat (one departure per day around 11 a.m., 150,000 kips per person), or a departure from Muang Ngoi (departure around 12:30 p.m., 120,000 kips per person). Starting from Muang Ngoi, the trip takes about five hours. Once in Muang Khua, you can reach Vietnam by bus. From Nong Khiaw to Muang Khua Come with your visa already done Arrived on the Laos side, we return the exit card and the agent stamps our passport. By checking that we have our visa for Vietnam. Because, on the side of Tay Trang, it is complicated to make a “visa on arrival”. Even if some signs indicate that it is possible (with many papers including an authorization from the Vietnamese Ministry of Tourism), travelers have all told us that it is not. Better not to give it a shot. Fortunately, we had planned everything with our visa done in Paris before departure. The agent adds a little, leafing through all the pages of the passport several times. After a few minutes, he stamps our passport and then lets us pass. Direction Dien Bien Phu. Stay wide awake, the landscapes are splendid on this route! Scooter: rather Thakhek or the Bolavens? Scooter: rather Thakhek or the Bolavens? How to get from Bangkok to Pakse au Laos?

Recommandée par le guide du Routard, Morretes, dans l’Etat de Paraná au Brésil, s’est révélée sans grand intérêt. Why not go to Morretes? Recommended by the Routard guide, Morretes, in the State of Paraná in Brazil, proved to be of little interest. Morretes or Ilha do Mel? Le Routard warmly recommends the first option without disparaging the second. Our wallet will obviously opt for Morretes, a priori much less popular with tourists. Only one agency aware The program will therefore be more about hiking. Finally, on paper. Because, once arrived in Morretes, we discover that only one agency knows the program of the surrounding markets. And, if not, offers you an afternoon of cycling, rafting or 4x4. Not really the original idea. We couldn't find a sign... Our itinerary in Brazil Notre itinéraire au Brésil Finally, we decide to walk to Pico Marumbi. Two hours later, here we are in the middle of a... disused train station. Without a direction sign, bad luck pursues us... Forced to turn back, we spend a night in Morretes. And not one more!

Pour profiter du Machu Picchu, il n’y a pas besoin de se ruiner. On vous explique tout depuis votre départ de Cusco. Machu Picchu for cheap, instructions To enjoy Machu Picchu, there is no need to break the bank. We explain everything to you from your departure from Cusco to the visit of the mythical Inca city. Wake up at 4 a.m. sharp After a good night's rest, arrive at the Machu Picchu entry point around 4:30 am. It opens at 5 a.m. and offers the possibility of reaching the Inca city on foot, which opens at 6 a.m. After an hour of steep climbing, you're there! And be among the first au Machu! Food: bring provisions The trip from Cusco to Hidroelectrica takes a short day. If you want to avoid the expense, plan a few groceries to eat during the day. On the way from Hidroelectrica to Aguas Calientes, you will find something to eat for reasonable prices, just in case. Otherwise, once in Aguas Calientes you can find convenience stores to buy the minimum to cook something for yourself, or even go to a restaurant. Admission: don't forget your student card Depending on the season, the entrance price to Machu Picchu changes (230 soles in March 2018). In any case, don't forget your international student card... If you have it, you will benefit from almost 50% reduction (130 soles in March 2018)! The visit: no need for a guide Very few indications accompany the site. But the guides on site (at least ours) will not do a huge job compared to the Backpacker or the Lonely Planet. A word of advice, to fully understand your visit without spending too much, take photos of the guide on your smartphones to then read them on the spot and find out about the history of Machu Picchu before coming. Accommodation: plan ahead if possible By planning ahead and depending on your visit period, you can get reasonable accommodation prices in Aguas Calientes through Booking or Airbnb. Transport: go around the agencies To visit Machu Picchu, you must reach Hidroelectrica from Cusco. In the ancient Inca capital, many agencies offer their services for the round trip by collectivo. Do not plan to spend more than 80 soles and instead negotiate for 50 for the AR. If that doesn't work, walk around Cusco a bit and, five meters further, you're bound to find a competing agency more willing to talk. Walk to Aguas Calientes Once in Hidroelectrica, the cheapest solution that will allow you to enjoy the magnificent landscapes is to walk to Aguas Calientes. The town, at the foot of Machu Picchu, is a 2 hour walk from Hidroelectrica. Do not bring your big bags with you because it sera difficult to carry them during your entire walk to Aguas Calientes on the one hand, and it is forbidden to enter on the Machu Picchu site with a bag of more than 20 liters on the other hand... A little practical advice Cost estimate Round trip Cusco-Hidroelectrica: 50-80 soles Machu Picchu Entrance: 230 or 130 soles (if student) Food : Less than 10 euros if you do your shopping Overnight in Aguas Calientes: You can get away with it for less than 20€ How to get to Choquequirao How to get to Choquequirao Our itinerary in Peru Our itinerary in Peru Pourquoi passer 10 jours dans la Vallée sacrée des Incas ?

Le mystérieux Choquequirao s’offre aux randonneurs motivés. Pour profiter au mieux de ce trek, suivez notre itinéraire. Sacred Valley of the Incas: what is the best route for the Choquequirao? A few dozen kilometers from Machu Picchu, the mysterious Choquequirao offers itself to motivated hikers. To make the most of this rather sporty trek, follow our itinerary. First stop in Santa Rosa On the program for this first day: 7 kilometers to the Capuliyoc watchtower then the descent to playa Rosalina and, after a good snack, a hell of a climb to the Santa Rosa baja campsite. The program is dense with this day of 7-8 hours, but the hardest part is done. Second stop in Marampata On the morning of the second day, continue the climb to the Marampata camp (just before the village of the same name). So get rid of your big bags (yes, you read that right, it feels good) and pitch your tent so that you only go up with the essentials: water, sunscreen, camera and snacks. In 2 or 3 hours, you will then reach the site of Choquequirao (after having obtained your entrance ticket against 60 soles), having all the morning and the beginning of the afternoon to stroll around the site. Once amazed, you can begin the descent to Marampata (about 2h30) to spend the night there. The "Choque" in 3 days, it's possible On the third day, you have two options. The first: departure at dawn to quickly descend to playa Rosalina and begin the (long) ascent to the Capuliyoc watchtower, then spend the night up there. You will then have an hour's walk the next day to reach Luisa's house, where a taxi will be waiting for you to return to the Sayhuite crossing. You will be in Cusco in the middle of the day. Halve the return? The second option is to split the return into two days. The first, you go down to playa Rosalina and then back up to Chiquisca camp, half way up the ascent. The next day, you can then complete the climb and then reach Luisa's house where the taxi will be waiting for you. You will be in Cusco in the evening. Another option: camp directly at Choquequirao Another route option, if you want to spread out the effort, is to sleep at the Choquequirao campsite on the second night (by stopping for example at playa Rosalina the first night). You can then enjoy the site the same evening and the next morning. The counterpart being to go rather quickly on the return. And then it is difficult to arrive early in Cusco on the 4th day. The “Shock” has to be earned. Posted at 3,000m above sea level, these Inca ruins are only accessible to hikers. After 2 days of walking, the reward is largely in the effort. Isolated in the middle of the mountains, the scenery is magnificent. Difficult to access, it is therefore only available to the most motivated visitors, happy to enjoy (alone) this mystical site. The good plan “at Luisa’s” The trek to Choquequirao is hard, it's true. So why not enjoy it while being well rested? Savor 2-3 hours surveying the premises. For that,the program starts from Cusco . First, prefer to spend the night at Luisa's (framed) in Colmena, rather than chaining transport from Cusco and starting the walk towards the “Choque” in stride. Serious things start the next day. After a hearty breakfast at Luisa's, head out around 7am. The night costs 30 soles per person (breakfast included) and it is possible to eat on site the day before your big departure for the hike!
