Vipassana Retreat at Dolores, Argentina
Oh the beautiful country side and valley outside of Cordoba, Argentina.

Uyuni – Salt Flats
This part of my journey was the most majestic, magical, tranquil, serene, silent, breath-taking days. 3 days in salt flats, smooth mountains, flowing rivers, playful streams, frolicking emus, decorated llamas, profound canyons, winding valleys, wind blown snow, hot heated sunshine, freezing cold, dust filled cars, one way bumpy roads, land cruisers, and a delicate full…

Colca Canyon Trek, Peru
