“After visiting Arica I travelled to San Pedro de Atacama. Which was an awesome experienced, riding the bike through this great landscape is so inspiring. The red desert in combination with a few rooks and some green plants is just gorgeous. I love driving a mountain bike zig-zag over the dirtroads and jumping into rooks. Meanwhile greeting fellow travellers on their bikes and horses.” – Bernhard

“I spent my last birthday on Isla de Ometepe, an island rising from two volcanoes in Lake Nicaragua, Concepción and Maderas. The dead volcanoes form the island, population 35,000, in the shape of an hourglass. The island’s economy is based on livestock, agriculture and tourism.

This photo is taken in Playa Santo Domingo, in the southeast half of the island, in front of Volcán Maderas. I stopped here a couple of days out of a two-week trip to Nicaragua. The island is beautifully forested, with farms, coffee and tobacco plantations and rainforest. Hikers can scale Maderas (3,833 feet above sea level)—the trek is muddy–and return in about 8 hours. “ – Monica
