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!

Pas loin de Nong Khiaw, Muang Ngoi est le point de départ de randos au milieu de petits villages et offre de jolis points de vue. What to do in Muang Ngoi? A little further north of the Nam Ou than the popular Nong Khiaw, Muang Ngoi is the starting point for hikes in the middle of small villages and offers superb viewpoints. On the way to the local villages The path is well marked. Leave Muang Ngoi and its guesthouses at the edge of the water to venture into the neighborhood. 6 kilometers from the village, it is possible to reach the villages of Huay Sen, Huay Bo and Ban Na in a few hours. Some inhabitants offer lodging for the night (for a few tens of thousands of kips) but we only feel half at ease in the middle of the life of this village... We therefore simply stop there to rehydrate before to leave to admire the landscapes. FYI, to get to these villages, you have to pay a right of way (which also includes the entrance to a cave) of 10,000 kips per person. A short paddle to Nong Khiaw From a point of view, Nong Khiaw largely stands up to Muang Ngoi (and even surpasses it, according to the travelers you meet on the way... we are counting on you to verify this). So embark on a kayak available in Muang Ngoi to descend the Nam Ou at your own pace and tackle the viewpoints of Nong Khiaw. The Nam Ou seen from above Muang Ngoi is bordered by the Nam Ou River. And, if the magnificent karst landscapes and the rice fields crossed on the way to the neighboring villages are not enough for you, you can extend the pleasure with a small viewpoint. Although steep but accessible (for 10,000 kips too), the viewpoint Phanoi offers a pretty sight at sunset. Even plan some provisions for a short aperitif, it will end your walk of the day nicely. Point of arrival from or departure to Vietnam, Muang Ngoi does not have any distributor. If you have a few dollars to change into kips, don't be fooled by the exorbitant rates of traders on the bank. Go instead to the Gecko bar where the super nice manager will give you an (almost) real rate if you pay in dollars and a much better rate than his neighbors if you change. When you only have dollars in Muang Ngoi...

Le passage de la frontière Bolivie - Pérou s’effectue facilement au niveau du lac Titicaca. Même pas besoin de backchich. How and where to cross the border Bolivia - Peru Crossing the border between Bolivia and Peru is easy at Lake Titicaca. Don't even need backchich. After more than 3 weeks traveling in Bolivia, we go to Peru. From Copacabana, take a bus with the Titicaca company towards Puno for 30 bolivianos. Barely a few kilometers after getting on the bus, we get off to go through immigration. On both sides, the manipulation is done quickly. Quick transfer to Puno Without specifying anything, we get our 90 days of stay in Peru. And, this time, no Bolivian agent had funmake us pay a little backchich . So much the better, we had no more bolis. We get back on the bus and, about two hours later, we arrive in Puno. An early arrival on the Peruvian side which leaves time to go quietly towardsLlachon .

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.

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.

Postée entre Auckland et la baie des îles, Whangarei offre quelques randos. Et notamment celle d’Urquharts Bay... What to do in Whangarei: Urquharts Bay, the hike with a thousand faces Posted between Auckland and the Bay of Islands, Whangarei offers some hiking possibilities in the North of New Zealand. And in particular that of Urquharts Bay, where beaches, forests and plains mingle. The North Island offers a wide menu. Geothermal energy in Rotorua, rolling plains of Coromandel, cliffs of the Whitecliffs or even hobbit houses. Further north of the island, Urquharts Bay sums up this diversity well. In two hours of walking, the visitor passes from the green grass to an azure blue beach, passing by a blockhouse of the Second World War and a dense forest. By taking, of course, a little height to afford magnificent views. Perfect picnic spot At the end of the Urquharts Bay road, free parking is available. From there, follow the “Busby head” signs to get to Smugglers Bay. Take your time, in two hours of walking you can already enjoy the scenery. We advise you to stay there longer.

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...

Immense décor naturel, le parc de Zhangjiajie ayant inspiré Avatar se révèle complexe à appréhender... Hunan: everything you need to know about Zhangjiajie Park A popular destination for the Chinese, immense natural scenery on two floors, the Zhangjiajie National Park (Hunan) and its karst peaks that inspired Avatar can be complex to grasp. Unless you read on. Where to stay? In order to avoid the daily round trip between the city of Zhangjiajie and the park, the solution is called Wulingyuan. Located at the entrance to the park, this town has many hostels (100 yuan for two a night if you negotiate) and allows you to show up when the park opens without getting too stressed. How long to spend there? The pass is valid for 4 days and the park has enough beautiful scenery to keep you busy all that time. We also advise you to spend 4 days there. But if your itinerary in China is a bit tight, 2 or 3 days will already allow you to fully enjoy the park. How to reach Zhangjiajie Park? Buses depart very frequently from Zhangjiajie City Central Station. The ticket costs 21 yuan for a trip of about an hour before reaching the park. Where to buy your entry ticket? How much does it cost ? How long is it valid? The ticket can be bought at... the entrance to the park, quite simply. When we visited, it was necessarily activated at the time of purchase. By buying it the day before for the next day, you therefore lose one day of access. The ticket costs 246.5 yuan and gives you access to the park for 4 days. How to move in the park? The entrance ticket includes bus transport. You will therefore have nothing to pay extra (unless you test the favorite toys of Chinese tourists, elevator and cable car on the menu). The park is huge and divided into two sections. A low section and a high section. Strictly distinct. In each of them, the bus network allows you to reach each attraction quite easily. But the two sections are not connected by public transport (except lift and paid cable car of course). It is therefore necessary to take the stairs to go up and down from one section to another.

Au milieu des sollicitations de tours en 4x4, optez pour le vélo. Ça marche au moins pour la vallée de la lune et de la mort. How to save money in San Pedro de Atacama In the midst of the demands of 4x4 tours, opt for the bike. It works at least for Moon Valley and Death Valley. The message is clear. “If you come from the Salar de Uyuni, there is not much to see in San Pedro”, summarizes a Chilean guide. We will still find out. We are then offered the geysers, an outing to find ourselves at an altitude of 5,000m or even the thermal waters. But our attention stops on the valley of the moon. 10€ per day Soon enough, it appears that the bike is a good option. For about 10 euros a day, we rent our mountain bike. A little hard to push on the 5 kilometers that separate us from the entrance to the valley of the moon. On site, you pay 2,000 pesos for entry (if this is your case, the price is cheaper for students). Then we get back on the bike. Between autonomy and economy To avoid heat stroke, plan the day. Because the slopes are sometimes rough. But the bike really allows you to be independent and therefore to organize your time between the different points of interest in the valley. Plus, it will save you a lot of money. We therefore took the pedaling option for the Valley of the Moon. And of course we recommend it!

Pour aller en Bolivie, nous avons opté pour le poste-frontière de Corumba (Brésil). Une seule recommandation : soyez patients. How and where to cross the border Brazil – Bolivia When heading to Bolivia, we opted for the Corumba border post in Brazil. Only one recommendation: be patient. The first contact is, shall we say, amazing. After a fabulous month in Brazil, the “welcome” of the Bolivians is in fact slightly less warm. At the Corumba-Puerto Quijarro border post on December 23, the instructions are clear: take your time and above all do not count on any solidarity of circumstances. Eh oui, it's time to discover the legendary friendliness of the Bolivians. Watch out for rushed taxis On the paper side, everything is going smoothly. Be careful when leaving Brazil, taxis offering to take you immediately to Bolivia. Otherwise, you may have to return to the border. On the Bolivian side, we are granted 30 days of stay and given us the small proof of immigration to keep preciously until leaving the country. Easy to file at Santa Cruz On the financial side, the taxi between the land terminal of Corumba to the border post benefits from its monopoly position: 75 reais per trip (~20€)! Once at immigration control, get your passport stamped and you are in Puerto Quijarro. If you need a taxi right away, it will cost you 10 bolivianos (~2.5€). The wallet will appreciate. Depending on your route, buses, collectivos and trains depart regularly from Puerto Quijarro to Santa Cruz. Iguaçu Falls: Argentinian or Brazilian side, which is better?
