In the final blog of my Atacama Desert series, I will spend one last night looking up at a perfect clear sky, illuminated by nothing other than starlight. I will get a bit technical with regard to camera settings, but even if you’re not too interested in the aperture of my lenses, I think you will be interested in some of my stunning photos! ;)

Look up as I jump into the cosmos. Enjoy as I describe another one of our exciting adventures in the Atacama desert. In this one, we look up to admire the extraordinary view of the universe in an extremely low-light environment, adding to the effect of a dazzling sky.

Let’s dive into the hidden industry of the desert. In a barren and empty landscape, there is a hum of machinery. You can see the unnatural fluorescent green pools of lithium and the massive open pit mines.

Journey to the Tatio Geysers in the north of Chile. Located in the Atacama Desert. 4,300 metres above sea level, it is the third-largest geyser field on the planet. There are only five countries in the world that have true geysers, so they are pretty special.

Experience the breathtaking landscapes and celestial wonders of the Atacama Desert! In this blog series, I dive into our four-day adventure, from spotting wild vicuñas and exploring steaming geysers at 4,500 meters to uncovering the intersection of industry and nature. Join me as we journey through San Pedro de Atacama and Antofagasta, capturing stunning astrophotography and visiting the European Southern Observatory.

Join me as we explore the vibrant and unpredictable world of public transport in Argentina and Chile. From Buenos Aires' fast-moving buses to Valparaiso’s musical train rides, discover the quirks, humor, and unique experiences of us navigating South American transit.

Experience what it is like to be a visitor in a Chilean primary school. Drawing, playing games and reading.

Dawn. Sunrise colours dance across the sky over the freezing treeless plains of Argentine Patagonia. Need I say more??

Then discover Magellan’s ship in Chile’s southernmost city – the first vessel to circumnavigate the world.

Follow along as we discover the immense beauty on the Perito Moreno Glacier, as we return to Argentina and visit the cute lakeside town of to El Calafate. The Perito Moreno Glacier is like a living breathing beast!

Want to hear about South American wildlife: guanacos, condors, rheas, and wild foxes? Or learn about ancient caves carved by glacial activity? I cover this and more in today’s blog as we continue our time in the Patagonian landscape.

Beneath 50 degrees south to Patagonia, the end of the earth! Read on to see me sail past icebergs without sinking like the Titanic, and the most beautiful flat tyre in the history of the world!

In this blog, we spend time on one of Chile’s largest islands, Chiloé. We met a new friend, saw the towns Castro and Dalcahue. Spent time in cozy cabins with fireplaces, and as always, we had several adventures.

This blog will address three big geographical questions: How the formation of the Andes happened, and why are there so many Volcanos in the Andes? As well as why/how volcanoes erupt? I’ll add some of our adventures on Volcán Osorno.

Follow our adventures as we board an overnight bus from Viña del Mar in Valparaiso to Puerto Montt. We explore two new cities and see some volcanoes for the first time.

In this blog, we experience our very first earthquake and learn how to navigate a foreign health system. We will also discuss our time in Renaca, a suburb of Valparaiso.

This is a cool adventure that Freddy, my brother, and I got to experience together—cowboy camping with a big campfire and melting marshmallows in Quintero, a suburb of Valparaiso.

This Blog is about Giuliano, a really cool little cat we met at Freddy’s place. Giuliano loves climbing, eating ham, playing, being part of everything, and going completely crazy at night. Click the link to find out more about Giuliano.

In this one, we discover Valparaiso in a new way while the Red Bull downhill races are in action. We discover the electric energy of the Red Bull downhill racing and the sheer talent and skill of the competitors.

In this blog, we discover the bright and colourful beach-side city of Valparaíso and the wonderful people who live there.

Part 2 - You may remember in my last blog, we were exploring the falls on the Brazilian side. In this one we explore the Argentine side of the falls, to see the side with the largest surface area of the waterfall!
