El Salvador and Honduras (in a hurry)
More adventure with Ammon, Sasha and Maggie (mom): As I mentioned in my last post, we were trying to get to El Salvador by boat from Nicaragua because my passport situation required it. Mom’s passport situation required us to start moving very quickly because we now had less […]

Nicaragua
And the journey contuniued with Ammon Sasha and Maggie (mom): I’d have never guessed we’d end up spending more time in Nicaragua than any other country in Central America. It wasn’t by plan and ended up becoming a necessity as we ran into a few problems. Nicaragua is […]

Caribbean Side of Panama and Costa Rica
Sorry for the delay in posting the continuation of Ammon and Sasha’s trip. My computer died and now I have replaced it and we carry on with the travels: Almost everyone I’ve talked to that has been to Panama has told me that I must visit Bocas del […]

Bogota to Cartagena
Ammon and Sasha contiune on: With Mom now in tow we wanted to make a nice impression. Unfortunately Bogota was not the place to do that. Of all the capitals we visited Bogota was our least favourite. It is a huge city (one of the most populous in […]

Into Ecuador
Come to Ecuador with Ammon and Sasha: From Chachapoyas the closest border crossing into Ecuador is the one at La Balsa, the least visited of the 3 crossings between the 2 countries. It is so rarely used that until late last year there was no cross border transportation […]

Chachapoyas, Peru
The honeymoon continues with Ammon and Sasha : Having others come and join us is an awesome experience but one of the differences and difficulties associated with that is a lack of flexibility in the schedule. They have flights to catch and routes and timing generally need to […]

Trujillo and Cajamarca, Peru
More adventure and ruins with Ammon and Sasha: For Ricardo’s last remaining days we took yet another long and windy bus ride back down to the coastal city of Trujillo, Peru’s third largest. It has an attractive and well restored historic core in its own right, one again […]

Caral-Supe, Chavin and Huascaran, Peru
Hike along with Ammon and Sasha: Our journey out of Lima only took us 4 hours north to a little-known city called Barranca where we stayed the night. The following morning we bumped our way up a nearby valley in an old minivan to the little village of […]

Nazca, Ica and Paracas, Peru
We left Cusco on a night bus to Nazca. 15 hours of the windiest road I think I’ve ever been on. As our bad luck would have it we were sitting in the very front, maximizing the swing through each turn which seemed to occur at 10 second […]

Cusco, Peru
Continuing through Peru with Ammon and Sasha: Returning to Cusco we opted to rent a nice little airbnb apartment rather than risk another bad hotel. It was a nice choice for us and enabled us to cook our own food and hide away from most of the hassle. […]
