Horseriding & History – Cerro Guazapa
Bylgermany May 27, 2016December 30, 2025

Woke up early to catch the 7am bus out to Sitio Guazapa for our horseriding tour on Cerro Guazapa with Guazapa Tours. A 163 bus (love how buses in El Salvador have route numbers) came along at 6:50am so we got on that one and headed out along the highway. Then, after a while, the bus…

Nicaraguan Cigars – Estelí
Bylgermany May 9, 2016December 30, 2025

One of Estelí’s claims to fame is that it is the largest cigar producer outside of Cuba. Cigar manufacturing is the biggest employer in the region and the surroundings are filled with tobacco plantations and really cool looking drying and fermenting sheds that are absolutely enormous! So, when I found myself with a free…

In addition, if a…

Easter Island – Part 5
Bylgermany January 5, 2017December 30, 2025

One of the things I wanted to do this time around on Easter Island was head out to Tongariki for the sunrise. There are excursions offering this for US$60 per person for a 3 hour trip (ouch!), so I decided to rent a scooter instead (even cheaper) to ensure I got out there to see…

Hiking Greenland – Abandoned Settlement of Assaqutaq
Bylgermany October 23, 2018December 30, 2025

When you start researching things to do around Sisimiut you very quickly come across excursions to Assaqutaq – an abandoned settlement about 10km away. The Hotel Sisimiut offers a boat tour to and from the settlement, but what I really wanted to do was take a boat out and then hike back. I contacted Jan from Sisimiut…
