My immersion experience with a Peruvian Amazon family
by Christelle09 · 2024-12-04 · 3 replies
Hi everyone,

For those of you who might be planning to explore the Amazon on the Peruvian side, I wanted to share a little feedback about my own experience, which I had back in 2018. It was honestly one of the most amazing travel experiences of my life—I’d dreamed of discovering the Amazon since I was a kid!

I’m sharing this now, in 2024, because I’ve just finished putting together a short documentary about the family’s ecotourism project. This gave me the chance to reconnect with them, and thanks to the magic of social media, even though they’d had to pause their activities after COVID and the closure of international borders, our reunion helped me put them in touch with the association ARUTAM Zero Deforestation, which has allowed them to restart their ecotourism. That’s why I’m posting here! :)

You can find all the details of my experience in this immersive adventure via this link:

Here are some key highlights from this adventure:

I spent 5 days with Wilder and Jessica’s family, along the banks of the Tahuayo River, a 7-hour slow boat ride from Iquitos <3

I arranged this experience through a French association (Latitud Sur at the time), which fights against deforestation and works to promote and protect the culture of Indigenous peoples in South America.

This is an experience far from the "clichés" you might have about the Amazon—simple yet authentic, with a focus on funding projects that preserve biodiversity and support the well-being of local communities.

The stay is completely customizable in terms of duration and activities (you can ask to go on a hike in the Amazon rainforest, learn about medicinal plants, fish in the river, make necklaces, baskets, or other Amazonian handicrafts, understand the Amazonian agroforestry system, and meet local producers, etc.)—everything is open for discussion! :)

The cost is calculated per day per person: 50 USD per person per day (down from 90 USD previously).

This price includes the 7-hour boat trip from Iquitos (an adventure in itself!), as well as food, accommodation, and activities. If you buy any handicrafts on-site, you’ll obviously need to budget a little extra.

It’s essential to speak and understand at least some Spanish :)

The intercultural exchanges with the family are what truly make this stay special.

Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions! I can also put you directly in touch with Wilder. Happy travels, everyone! Christelle
From the Tamazight Land to the Merzouga Dunes &#8211; Morocco
by Attila · 2024-11-09 · 10 replies
For our first post-COVID trip outside Europe, we’ve chosen a North African destination: Morocco.

I’ve already visited this country four times, but my partner has never set foot there.

Since we both prefer wide-open spaces over even imperial cities, our itinerary will focus on nature and villages.

Starting point: Casablanca, easily accessible with a direct flight from Lyon.

Our ride: a Dacia Logan, perfect for navigating roads turned into Swiss cheese by corruption and the weather.

Stops: Demnate, Aït Ben Haddou, the Dadès Gorges, N'Kob, Zagora, the Todhra Gorges, the Merzouga dunes, Tinejdad, Agoudal, Lake Bin El Ouidane, the Vallée Heureuse, the Ouzoud waterfalls, and finally El Jadida.

Season: November, when there’s no tourist pressure. Sure, it can be chilly, but what peace and quiet!

You can find the details of our journey beyond the Rif here.

Happy reading!

And if you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate!



















Utah and Arizona in March: Snowy Western Adventure!
by Attila · 2024-11-08 · 9 replies
It’d been 30 years since I last set foot in the United States, and I hadn’t really felt the urge to return.

Reading Marati’s trip report sparked a bit of nostalgia for this destination that my partner had never experienced.

So, we chose the American West as the goal for our spring getaway.

With only 15 days, we couldn’t be too ambitious...

I cut Los Angeles from the itinerary—it didn’t leave a lasting impression on me—and San Francisco, which is tricky to reach from the East this time of year.

We’ll land in Las Vegas, which will also be our return point, and do a classic loop covering the highlights of Utah and Arizona.

The plan includes plenty of hikes but also lots of miles behind the wheel to admire the natural wonders of the West.

You can find the details of our transatlantic wanderings here.

Happy reading!

And if you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to share!

Hello,

Just a little update on November 1st, 2024!

Back in 2003, we traveled through Norway all the way to the Lofoten Islands, and four years later in 2007, we set off again to explore Finland and Norway in Lapland.

In 2018, we revisited Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

I hope you get the chance to discover these wonderful Nordic countries one day. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Happy reading,

5 days on Easter Island
by Michael7759 · 2024-10-26 · 4 replies
Easter Island, located between Tahiti and Chile, fascinated me with its volcanic landscapes and legendary Moai statues, erected by the first Polynesian inhabitants to honor their ancestors. Mysterious and iconic, this isolated land intrigues with its history and the enigmas that researchers and explorers are still trying to unravel. To help you prepare for your trip, here’s my five-day itinerary. I was able to explore major sites while leaving room for some free and adventurous moments. Here’s the program I followed: Day 1: Discovering Hanga Roa and nearby moais For my arrival, I started slowly by visiting the village of Hanga Roa. I took the time to stroll around, check out some local shops, and especially admire the first moais accessible for free, to ease into the island’s fascinating history. Day 2: The must-see sites with a guide (Vaihu, Te Pito Kura, Anakena, Tongariki, Rano Raraku) The second day was dedicated to the highlights. With a guide, I explored the island’s iconic sites, including the imposing aligned moais of Tongariki and the ancient "statue factory" of Rano Raraku. This intense day helped me understand more about the island’s culture and mysterious history, especially with the paradise-like beach of Anakena at the end of the day. Day 3: Historical sites and museum (Orongo, Rano Kau, Puna Pau, Akivi) On the third day, I continued with a guided morning, particularly at the ceremonial village of Orongo, perched atop Rano Kau. After visiting Puna Pau and Akivi, I spent the afternoon at the museum to deepen my knowledge of the Rapa Nui civilization. Day 4: Bike ride in nature Craving freedom, I devoted this day to a bike ride along the coastline and through the island’s natural spots. It was the perfect opportunity to explore at my own pace and stop at secret coves, enjoying the tranquility of the landscapes. Day 5: Hike to the summit of Terevaka For my last day, I set off on a hike to the summit of Terevaka, the island’s highest point. From there, the 360° view of the island and the ocean is breathtaking and gave me a memorable souvenir of this trip. This five-day stay was a real journey through time, landscapes, and the mysteries of Easter Island!

Legendary Routes and Trails for a Vietnam Road Trip
by Parenski · 2024-10-24 · 0 replies
Among the many road trips you can take by motorbike in Vietnam through breathtaking landscapes and making unforgettable encounters, these three circuits on legendary routes and trails are entirely doable—but best done in the dry season to avoid tropical downpours and flooded or muddy road sections.

These circuits are "classics," and you can also add "The Mekong Delta," which is easy to explore off the beaten path since it’s mostly on paved, flat, and sometimes straight roads. For those who’ve completed one of these circuits, we’d love to hear about your experience! !

Bonjour,

J'ai lancé il y a un peu moins d'un an un carnet de voyage accessible à l'adresse
http://voyagelemonde.over-blog.com/

J'y publie des articles sur mes voyages et par exemple le dernier est sur les plus beaux villages de France. J'ai pensé que c'était une bonne idée alors que les frontières ne sont pas encore ouvertes.

J'aimerais bien avoir votre avis. Je suis preneur de toute remarque pour essayer de l'améliorer.

Par avance, merci à toutes et tous pour vos conseils !

En Pen Duick 600 avec mon chien English translation pending
by Voilierordal · 2020-03-05 · 0 replies
Bonjour, j'ai commencé la voile par une semaine de stage à l'école des Glénans puis je me suis acheté un petit voilier de 6 mètres imaginé par Eric Tabarly dans les années 70...Et je me suis lancé tout d'abord en descendant la Loire à partir de Paimboeuf puis en allant à Noirmoutier et en ralliant l'île d'Yeu. Par expérience je pense qu'il est souhaitable de commencer progressivement et d'éventuellement monter en gamme (comme acheter une plus grande unité). La voile se n'est pas le monde d'amazon !, c'est une affaire de lenteur, il faut attendre le vent et les bonnes conditions, apprendre à connaître la mer etc.... Vous pouvez voir mes premières vidéos sur ma chaine youtube www.youtube.com/...d?view_as=subscriber

N'hésitez pas à me laisser des commentaires a bientôt Voilier Ordalie
