- Tour du monde : quelle banque choisir ? | Douze regards du monde
Pour éviter les frais bancaires et avoir quand même une bonne assurance, on a choisi deux banques pour notre tour du monde. Which bank to choose for a world Tour ? To avoid bank charges and still have good insurance, we left with two different cards for our world tour. MasterCard Black at N26 The best solution to dodge fees. N26 offers a MasterCard Black (at the top insurance level) for €5.90 per month. This will be your only additional expense. Because on-site payments by credit card are made at the real rate and the bank does not charge you anything on withdrawals. The only fees may possibly come from the local bank you are making your withdrawal with. Visa Ultim at Boursorama Boursorama serves as our spare tire. But as sometimes some banks, agencies or businesses refuse MasterCard cards, we wanted to make sure we had an alternative. We therefore took Boursorama's Visa Ultim (conditionally but free and without account maintenance fees) to have the best insurance in all cases. It also allows you to benefit from total free payment on payments outside the euro zone and withdrawals made in foreign currencies.

- Le Machu Picchu pour pas cher, mode d’emploi | Douzeregardsdumonde
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!

Au départ d’Uyuni, on veut rejoindre San Pedro de Atacama au Chili. La sortie de Bolivie nous coûtera plus cher que prévu... How and where to cross the border Bolivia - Chile From Uyuni, we want to reach San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The exit from Bolivia will cost us more than expected... After the wonder in the Salar de Uyuni, it is possible to head straight for the lunar landscapes of San Pedro de Atacama. Several buses leave from Uyuni in the direction of San Pedro or Calama (requiring a connection to San Pedro). Our Uyuni - Calama bus with Buses Atacama 2000 cost us 120 bolis per person. “For the French, it's 15 bolivianos” In the middle of the 12-hour journey, we leave Bolivia at the Ollague border post. No problem for our South American neighbors, the agents quietly validate their exit. But the tone changes as we pass. Cap with the Bolivian crest screwed on the forehead, the "manager" of the office looks down on us. “For the French, it's 15 bolivianos.” After having kindly asked for official proof and then realized that we were in the middle of the desert, we let go of the backchich. Valley of the Moon, San Pedro de Atacama No fresh produce in Chile We then change buses (we feel the passage to Chile, the bus has seat belts) then head towards the border post. Immigration stamps our passport without question. We will then wait an hour between the deterrence session of the Chilean customs, sniffer dog in support, and the analysis of the suitcases (do not take any fresh products) before resuming the road.

- Comment se rendre au Choquequirao ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Avant d’entamer la marche vers le Choquequirao, il faut rejoindre la ville de Cachora. How to get to Choquequirao Before starting the walk towards Choquequirao, you have to reach the town of Cachora. Located on the route between Cusco and Abancay. Bridge on the way to Choquequirao The first stop in Choquequirao is to take a bus towards Sayhuite. From Cusco, you can get a one-way ticket for 15 soles with the Bredde agency for example (departures around 6am and 10am). Take a Cusco-Abancay trip, which normally costs 20 soles, and specify that you want to stop at the crossroads in Sayhuite in order to pay 5S less. 40 soles per taxi ride Once in Sayhuite, taxis will take you to Cachora, from where you can start the walk to Choquequirao. Another solution is to stay with Luisa, in Colmena. You will gain 3 kilometers on the “Choque” path and you can then spend the night in this inn before starting the walk the next day. Luisa can even reserve a driver for you and charge you 20 soles per person. The process is the same if you come from Abancay. About 4 hours of travel For the return to Cusco, Luisa can also book a taxi to take you to the crossroads. You will then have to wait for a bus and hope that it will let you on. Otherwise taxis can drop you off in Curahuasi for 5 soles, on the way to Cusco, where you will then find collectivos in the direction of Cusco (15S). In total, count about 4 hours (by being wide) for transport.

- Lac Titicaca : plutôt Pérou ou Bolivie ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Étape obligée, le lac Titicaca divise... Et si,finalement, le juste milieu était à voir du côté d’un petit village de pêcheurs. Lake Titicaca: rather Peru or Bolivia? An obligatory step on the border between Bolivia and Peru, Lake Titicaca divides... Is it better to enjoy it on the Bolivian side or rather on the Peruvian neighbour? The debate is lively. Organized excursion enthusiasts vote for Isla del Sol, in Bolivia. Pro-Peruvians vote for Puno. On the shores of Lake Titicaca, everyone has made up their minds and no one agrees. And if, finally, the happy medium was to be seen on the side of a small fishing village. Llachón and its sunset 2 hours from collectivo de Puno, the decor of Llachón will convince anyone who ventures there. At the edge of the lake, this small town of 2,000 inhabitants, each more welcoming than the other, offers a soothing calm. Two evenings spent admiring the sunset are enough to make you want to extend your stay. Llachón holds competition with Isla del Sol If the peace and quiet stress you out, Llachón also offers its share of activities on the lake. The visit to the floating villages or neighboring islands competes with the “tourist cargo” services offered in Copacabana to get to Isla del Sol. The debate is closed. For Lake Titicaca, head to Peru. Direction Llachon. From Puno, meet in front of the Bellavista mercado (maps.me is your best friend) to take a bus to Llachón or Capachica. In the second case, then take another collectivo that will take you to Llachón. How to get to Llachon? How much does it cost ? Where to stay? Many buses leave every day in both directions and the transport will cost you 6 or 7 soles (one way). In about 2 hours, depending on the filling speed of your collectivo, you arrive at your destination. For the return, it is the same formula. We stayed at the "Casa de Félix", run by a family from the island. Super nice, Félix offers a few outings on the lake to, among other things, go to floating villages. The dinner "trucha" and the breakfast donuts are killer. When we passed by, the night (with super comfortable mattress) cost 30 soles.

- Tout savoir Trek des Annapurnas | Douzeregardsdumonde
Pour préparer au mieux votre trek des Annapurnas, voici quelques questions que tous les randonneurs se sont posé avant d’entamer cette superbe randonnée, assez facile à organiser. Annapurna trek: duration, price, itinerary, accommodation... all you need to know To better prepare your Annapurna trek, here are some questions that all hikers have asked themselves before starting this superb hike, which is quite easy to organize. How long to plan? From Kathmandu or from Pokhara, it takes an average of fifteen days to complete the Annapurna trek. Due to the recent construction of many roads, the hike can even be done in less than 10 days depending on the routes. We offer a 10-day itinerary on our site, it goes through Tilicho Lake. When planning your vacation, planning three weeks in Nepal seems to us enough to complete the Annapurna trek. What budget should you plan? With 15 euros per day of hiking per person, we were very wide. To manage your budget well, just keep in mind that prices increase with altitude due to supply difficulties (special mention at Tilicho Lake, where there is a huge crowd and therefore a certain increase in prices). Are there still accommodations? What happens if there is no more space? On the whole hike, we found a place to sleep. Find out beforehand by asking people you meet during the hike or withmaps.me to find villages with accommodation. We were in Nepal in high season and we always had a bed. If ever there is no more room (dedication to Tilicho Lake, link to the article), you will be accommodated in the common rooms, no one will let you outside. In addition, we had thought of taking a tent but, given the number of accommodations on the way, it is really not necessary for this hike. How not to pay for hosting? Try to negotiate la nuit against breakfast, it is a very common practice on the trek. What is the TIMS, what information to give and where to get it? TIMS is needed as it governs the trekking in Nepal. Having a centralized database of information about hikers and hiking routes is used to keep hikers safe. It is therefore mandatory to obtain the TIMS card before starting your trek by presenting your passport and two identity photos. Make sure you have the following information when applying for a TIMS card: Entry and exit dates for the hike. You can provide a rough estimate; Entry and exit points for trekking; Trekking route; Emergency contact during your stay in Nepal ; Emergency contact information in your home country; Insurance policy number, including their contact details. The easiest way to get the TIMS in Kathmandu is to go to the Nepal Tourism Board office. How much does TIMS cost? The fee also varies depending on who is requesting it. The fees to be paid (as of April 2019) are as follows: For group hikers - NR. 1000; For free individual hikers - NR. 2,000. How to reach the start of the trek? Again, this depends on the route planned for your course. In the option offered on our site, the start of the walk is from Bhulbhule after walking from Besisahar. To reach this city, it is possible to take a bus from Pokhara or from Kathmandu (at “New bus stand ” in the northwest of the city). Where to stop the trek? After Ranipauwa, the trails give way to gravel paths heavily used by coaches, cars or motorbikes. Result: walking in these conditions means struggling not to swallow dust all day. So we stopped the trek at this place. To return to Kathmandu, we then took a bus to Jomsom where we spent one night. The next morning, we took a bus (booked the day before) to Pokhara. The journey, epic amidst laughing Nepalese watching western heads after every bump or every precipice crossed, lasts all day. After a few days of rest in Pokhara (or not), return to Kathmandu. Is there still à to eat? Along the way, there are many accommodations where it is possible to eat. For our part, we had taken some dried fruit for the day and we took breakfast and dinner in our accommodation. Can we still charge our cameras and laptop? It is possible to pay to have access to an electrical outlet in most accommodation. Otherwise we advise you to take a solar charger or an external battery.

- Comment être seul au Taj Mahal ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Pour être seul au Taj Mahal, la recette est simple. Une courte nuit à Agra, une bonne orientation et un peu d’astuce. On vous explique tout. How to be alone at the Taj Mahal? To be alone at the Taj Mahal, the recipe is simple. A short night in Agra, good orientation and a bit of insight. We will explain everything to you. A small photo in front of the Taj Mahal. Without tourist. Certified without filter. All travelers hope for this moment. But beyond the non-photoshoped shot, the visitor will be especially impressed by the majestic silence of the place at sunrise. Before the crush. Meet East Gate To take advantage of this moment, there are some imperatives to follow but nothing really binding. First, you have to choose your front door. At sunrise, only the East and West gates open to visitors. Choose the east gate, it is said to be less crowded and it worked for us. Wake up at 4 a.m., head to the counter Now is the time to purchase your ticket next to the East Gate. Go there around 4:30 in the morning. The ticket office opens one hour (accurately) before sunrise. In our case, we waited a good half hour in front. It allowed us to be in first position. Be careful, impose yourself well in front of the Indian employees sent by their hotel. Because they reserve for their customers who are queuing directly in front of the front door and will pass you. The Taj Mahal, a little later The Taj Mahal solo Ticket in hand, head for the front door Once you have purchased your ticket (1100 rupees in September 2018, an increase of almost 50% since 2016!), you must go through another ticket office to collect slippers for the visit to the palace and a bottle of water. Then go to queue in front of the front door. It opens half an hour before sunrise. Travel light: camera and that's it Immediately after entering, small security check. Do not take a bag, you will have to drop it off at the locker. To be sure to pass in speed and arrive quickly in front of the palace, bring only your camera and your mobile phone. Don't stop at the first pool! After a few dozen meters of walking, you will pass a door on your right to access the garden surrounding the Taj Mahal. From here, you will finally see the palace, with a first basin just in front of you. Don't stop there. First because that's what everyone else is doing, and second because you'll get a better view as you keep going. It is therefore necessary to follow this first basin to arrive in front of the second. At this moment, you will be alone. And you can enjoy the ambient calm while admiring the light of day breaking on the Taj. Savor this moment to the fullest. Because it won't last too long. Fifteen to twenty minutes later, you will be surrounded by dozens of tourists all fidgeting to have their best selfie with the palace. From Delhi, several agencies will offer you to book your entry to the Taj Mahal. No need. Like us, you can go to the counter the morning of your visit without any problem. Price in September 2018: 1100 rupees by cash, 1000 by card but it is not known if they apply a commission.

- Garden Route : pourquoi camper 2 nuits à Storms River ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Idéal pour les randos, Storms River Mouth constitue un arrêt immanquable sur la Garden Route, en Afrique du Sud. Why camp 2 nights at Storms River? Ideal for hikes in the Tsitsikamma National Park, the Storms River Mouth rest camp is an unmissable stop along the Garden Route in South Africa. The setting is idyllic. On one side, the forest as the starting point for hikes in the Tsitsikamma National Park. On the other, the music played by the waves of the Indian Ocean. And, in the middle of it all, you. With your tent. Flanked between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, Storms River Mouth is an ideal starting point for your journey (from East to West) on the Garden Route. In addition to this picturesque setting, which alone justifies spending two nights in a tent and admiring the sunset(s), this camp will appeal to hikers. Picnic in front of Tsitsikamma Falls For the more seasoned, this is where the famous Otter Trail and its 42km begins. But everyone will find their account. In particular with a short course of 4-5 kilometers to the Tsitsikamma falls. Wedged between the falls and the sea, installed on the nearby rocks, it's time for a well-deserved picnic. In the area, it is also possible to easily go to a suspension bridge (one or two kilometers from the location of the tents) to enjoy the view. And, of course, to return in time for the sunset. If time permits, spend two nights rather than one at Storms River Mouth camp, even if it means skipping the Nature's Valley or Wilderness stages. A little advice...
