Salut tout le monde!

J'aurais besoin d'informations concernant la possibilité d'accéder aux volcans du Costa Rica en randonnée pédestre. Bon j'ai entendu parler du volcan Arenal, Poas (Paos?!) et Irazu... bon alors première questions... lesquels valent le détour. Secondo, combien de temps (heures ou jours) on peut accéder au sommet... comment sont les sentiers? balisés ou non, refuge ou tente?, place pour camper ou non.. etc.! Quelles sont les recommandations (guide ou pas...e t c!)

bref... si vous avez déjà eu un peu d'expérience sur ce point!

aussi autre question du même type un peu... est-il possible de retrouver des bouteilles de butane-propane pour les réchauds, ou sommes-nous mieux de compter sur le bon vieux naphte?! merci!!! bonne journée!!!!!!!!

tookie!

Bonjour à tous et toutes

mon mari et moi avons prévu de partir en Argentine au printemps (hémisphère nord) 2005. On est à l'affut de tout types d'infos et surtout plus "vivantes" que celles des guides touristiques...

Quel mois privilégier ? quelle région ? On a prévu 3 semaines et on a bien compris qu'il est inutile de vouloir tout voir. Mon coeur balance entre la partie nord ouest (salta) et la patagonie...

Quel(s) moyen(s) de découverte (en plus des pieds) favoriseriez vous ?

J'attends vos réponses avec impatience. Merci !🙂

Salut,

Je ne sait pas si le terme voiturage est bon, mais on m'a parlé d'1 systeme ou des Américains cherches qq'1 pour conduire une voiture d'1 point A à un point B où les frais serai payés en échange de déplacer la voiture.

Qq'1 en sait plus là dessus?

Ciao

Bonjour, Je compte partir en Mauritanie en voiture en Novembre. Je descend en Panda ..... je sais je suis fou ! Pensez vous que j'aurai des difficultés à vendre cette voiture ? Que ce passe t il d'un point de vue douane si la voiture tombe en panne de façon grave (immobilisation dans la pampa) ou brule (ca arrive) ? Comment quitter le Maroc ou la Mauritanie en ayant sur son passeport l'indication de l'entrée avec tel véhicule ?

Merci de vos conseils

Bob

Bjr

Mon amie et moi envisageons de faire l'Argentine cet Hiver, entre Bueno Aires, puis descebdre vers le cap horn en voiture.

D'où ma question, est ce faisable en voiture (2500 à 3000 km) en qqs jours ?

Nous ne partirons au total qu'une douzaine de jours (car enfanst, travail, etc ....)

Qualité des routes ? locations de voiture ? entre BA et le Cap Horn ..... Est ce dingue ou largement faisable ?

PS : Et un Aller retour vers l'antartique depuis la terre de feu, c'est faisable ? cher ?

Merci pour les réponses ....

salut les globe-trotters 😉

je prévois de faire Salta - San Pedro de Atacama au Chili et je cherche à m'y rendre en passant par Socompa. Salta -Socompa ça a l'air possible par un train de marchandises mais qui peut me dire si on peut rejoindre San Pedro De Atacama depuis Socompa ?

muchas gracias d'avance

Je sais, je sais cette question peut paraitre un poil crétine. Je fais partie de ces martiens inadaptés qui n'ont pas (et n'ont pas envie d'avoir), la trentaine bien sonnée, de permis de conduire. Vous raconter pourquoi est une autre histoire (et serait trop long de ttes façons), mais voilà, je prévois un TDM plutôt roots pour la mi 2005. Je voudrais savoir si, d'après votre expérience, il est réaliste et possible de ne pas passer par la case bagnole. J'ai des avis contradictoires sur la question et du coup, me demande si je mets à profit ces qqs mois pour passer ledit permis, très cher en Guadeloupe soit dit en passant (et amputerait mon budget TDM et ça...) ou si je fais l'impasse sur le précieux papier rose. Quid? est-ce vraiment IMPERATIF?

Dans l'attente de votre écho,

Tropicalement vôtre,

nous partons en famille pour la thailande (parents et 2 fille de 15 et 19 ans) et pensions faire une escapade sur angkor.nous ne disposons que de 4 jours.est il possible de se rendre sur le site en bus vip ou en train et en combien de temps .Avez vous des filons à nous proposer.

MERCI

Hi everyone! So happy to be back on this forum—it’s packed with such useful info! 🙂 My husband and I are planning a 2.5-week self-drive trip to Colombia at the end of the year, including some domestic flights. My first question is: is it possible, easy, and safe to do a road trip in Colombia?

Below is our draft itinerary (with questions at each stop):

29/11: France → Colombia. Overnight in Bogotá. 30/11: Exploring Bogotá: La Candelaria and Montserrate. 01/12: Gold Museum (closed on Mondays). Drive to Zipaquirá (1.5 hrs) to visit the Salt Cathedral. Then drive to Villa de Leyva (3 hrs). Explore the town. Overnight in Villa de Leyva. 02/12: Return to Bogotá via Laguna de Guatavita (5 hrs). Is it worth the detour? Overnight in Bogotá. 03/12: Flight to Pereira. Drive to Salento. Overnight in Salento. 04/12: Cocora Valley (hike among the wax palms) followed by a drive around the area. Are there any waterfalls or other sights nearby? 05/12: Visit a coffee finca—any recommendations? Then explore the surroundings: Filandia, Manizales, waterfalls? Hot springs? Which ones? 06/12: Flight to Medellín. 07/12: Exploring Medellín: Centro, Plaza Botero, Comuna 13. How do you visit Comuna 13? Is it easy to get around Medellín? Metro? Buses? 08/12: Drive to Guatapé (2 hrs). Visit the town, stroll around the lake, then El Peñol. Overnight in Guatapé. 09/12: Return to Medellín. 10/12: Flight to Santa Marta. Drive to a hotel near Tayrona Park. 11/12: Tayrona—El Zaino entrance. 12/12: Tayrona—Palangana entrance, then Bahia Concha and Santa Marta. What do you think? 13/12: Drive to Minca (45 mins). Can we reach the village by car? Pozo Azul and Marinka waterfalls. Overnight in Minca (or back in Tayrona?). 14/12: Drive to Puerto Nao (5 hrs). Stop in Ciénaga on the way + boat tour in Nueva Venecia and/or Buena Vista? Not enough time? Overnight in Puerto Nao. 15/12: Exploring Cartagena: Centro, Getsemaní, the walls + La Boquilla if we have time. 16/12: La Boquilla (is it really worth it?) if we didn’t have time yesterday, then back to the beach. 17/12: Return to France.

So, what do you think? Is this doable, or should we tweak it? Thanks in advance for your invaluable feedback and tips! 🙂

Is hitchhiking in Thailand a good idea? A bad one? Safe or not?

Instead of sharing my thoughts on the subject, I’ll tell you about my four short hitchhiking "adventures" over 40 years of traveling there. Hopefully, this will help you form your own opinion.

First, a general rule I always follow in Southeast Asia: whether you're a woman or a man, in the city or the countryside, if you're a foreigner—even in a small group—never let yourself get completely isolated once night falls.

Okay, here we go.

My first time:

This happened in the late 80s in Kanchanaburi province, on route 3272/4088, somewhere between the charming Thong Pha Phum and that spot on the Burmese border where a gas pipeline—owned at the time by a major French company—crosses. I don’t remember why or how I ended up on that remote road, but since I love getting lost, it was fine. Except that it was already mid-afternoon, no songthaew had shown up after an hour of waiting, and I wanted to get back to T.P. Phum before dark. So I started walking, keeping an ear out for any approaching engine to flag down (hand flat, palm down, waving as if saying goodbye). Soon after, a slightly upscale car stopped—a high-end Japanese model. Inside was a couple in their thirties. "You guys headin’ to Thong Pha Phum?" "Sure, no problem, my good farang, hop in." I was saved. We drove for 20-30 kilometers, then the guy pulled over: "Come on, let’s grab a drink..." Later, I’d learn we were near the spot where they were spending a short vacation, south of the reservoir stretching from T.P.P. to Sangkhlaburi—a place (that part of the lake) known for its waterfront resorts for couples, families (next stop...), and other Thais out for a good time (I’d stay there myself a weekend a few years later, in a dorm room with about thirty Thai friends). We had a drink. The woman barely sipped hers. We had a second. She didn’t say anything, but I could read in her eyes what she was thinking (no language barrier for that kind of communication). Then he ordered a third. She shot her husband a disapproving, embarrassed look. As for me, aware I was still far from "home" and that night was falling, I started pretending to drink too. You can guess the rest: the guy kept ordering, got drunker and drunker, and his wife didn’t dare scold him in front of me, but the looks she gave him—and her discomfort around the other people in the roadside joint—spoke volumes.

After a (very) long while, the woman couldn’t take it anymore and finally reminded him, I assume, that they still had to take me to T.P.P. But given his state, it was unanimously decided—by both of us—that there was no way he was driving. I felt stuck, especially since I don’t drive. And her? Oh, she could. I helped the guy as best I could, and the joint’s owner, taking pity on me, lent a hand. We got him into the back seat, where he fell asleep almost immediately. It was around 8 PM when, with her husband still snoring in the back, she dropped me off at the entrance of the guesthouse in Thong Pha Phum, near the market square. I thanked her, feeling a pang of sympathy for the moment she’d have to haul her husband from the car to their room. They drove off. I was hungry. At the far end of the market square was a great restaurant with a direct view of the Mae Nam Khwae. I headed that way.

Hi, Back from South Africa since 24/10/25, we’re having trouble getting our deposit back after renting a car at Cape Town Airport with Pace Car Rental through Carwiz! It’s still a sum over 1000 €!! Lots of email exchanges via WhatsApp where they send me the refund proof dated 25/11, but my bank can’t find any trace of it!! Just to clarify, the car was returned without a scratch, as they confirmed! Has anyone else run into this issue with this rental company, or others for that matter? And if it’s a scam, what are the possible courses of action? I’m hoping there are some… I was thinking of contacting our Consulate in Cape Town to see if they can help with the next steps or even intervene with this rental company! This kind of practice isn’t going to help boost tourism relations with South Africa!! Thanks for your feedback, Dan

Hi everyone.

I’m here to share a really reassuring experience about boarding a flight from France to Guadeloupe without an ID card or passport.

Yesterday, I met up with my friend at her place around 4:00 PM. She told me to leave my bag in my car while we ran an errand because “nothing ever happens here.”

When we got back at 8:00 PM, my car window was smashed, and my bag was stolen. In a panic about forgetting something for the trip, I’d left my whole life in that bag—ID card, passport, driver’s license, health insurance card—total meltdown. It was 8:00 PM, and our flight was at 10:00 AM the next day.

We’re on the plane right now, and I’ll tell you exactly what we did.

At 8:30 PM, we went to the police station. No one was there, but there was a number to call for night emergencies. They sent a team to take our statement. We explained that clothes weren’t the issue but that we had a flight the next day. They initially said they couldn’t file the theft report until the next morning. We pleaded a little, and they finally opened the station for us. They gave us the forms for reporting a stolen passport and ID card.

These documents are called either: *"Receipt for theft report"* *"Theft report"*

Even before we finished, we started researching online to see if this paperwork would be enough. The info we found on this forum (from 2014) and what was clearly stated on the Air Caraïbes website totally crushed us. It seemed like it was completely hopeless. Only one person said it depended on the mood of the staff we’d encounter at the airport.

Awful night, total despair.

We arrived at the airport at 6:30 AM for a 10:20 AM boarding. We went to the Air Caraïbes baggage drop-off way too early to talk to someone. We explained the problem to the first woman we saw.

She immediately reassured us that we’d be able to fly. Basically, if you have the police or gendarmerie document for the theft or loss, it’s 100% okay. No issues with that.

We had to fill out a first form swearing we were telling the truth about our checked baggage, then a second one for customs after our carry-on bags were inspected.

Didn’t report the theft or loss before arriving at the airport? No problem—there’s an office in the airport that handles that. Basically, we didn’t *have* to go to the police station.

The only really important thing is to arrive *very* early to have time to sort everything out. If you show up at customs or boarding without anything prepared beforehand, you’ll obviously be turned away.

If this post reassured or helped you, feel free to leave a comment so this forum ranks higher on Google. I wish I’d read something like this last night—I would’ve slept better. This morning, my alarm went off at 4:00 AM, and unlike usual, I had a *hard* time waking up, like I was heading to prison.

That’s it. Nico and Solène, 40 years old.

I’ve kept quiet about them... to preserve them. Those are the words of a passionate traveler who recently wrote to us. For years, he’s been discovering rare, authentic places... and chooses to say nothing. Out of respect. Out of fear of destruction. Out of love for secrecy. What would you do? You stumble upon a magical spot, still untouched by mass tourism. Do you keep it to yourself... or do you open the door, gently, to other travelers? At DIRECTRAVEL, we’re asking ourselves these questions. Can sharing be an act of passing something on? Or is it always the beginning of the end for these preserved places? Read the article here.

Hey fellow travelers!

This isn’t meant to be a full-on travel journal—just a little springtime dip into the Moroccan coast (and maybe a bit more if we click).

For our third trip to this country, we set off for 8 days in early June 2025, *sure* we’d be greeted by non-stop sunshine...



...and well, that didn’t happen! The gray stuck around for a day, then two, then three (while back home in the Landes, we had gorgeous sunshine 🤦‍♂️😂).

Now, unlike us, the Morocco experts here probably already know this, but apparently, it’s pretty common—especially in spring—when the warm air from inland meets the cool ocean breeze. Locals even have to warm up with hot water bottles, can you believe it? 😄!



And of course, it had to happen now, since our plan is to follow the coast from Essaouira to Mirleft!!

Oh well, we’ll see how it goes—but luckily, this first stunning sunset made up for the weather 🌅.



See you soon to anyone who’s up for it! 😊

Hi there, We’re 4 adults heading to Montreal on June 13 for 15 days to explore eastern Canada, moving between accommodations. We need a vehicle with enough trunk space for 4 checked bags (24 kg each). Which model should we rent, and which rental company do you recommend (preferably at Montreal Airport)? Thanks to anyone who can help us figure this out—it’s trickier than it seems since car models in Canada aren’t the same as in Europe! Nicolas

Hi, Is there, to your knowledge, an outfitter or several outfitters that include a visit to Little Finland in Nevada in their offerings? If so, have you had any experience with them and do you have their contact details? Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for info on the route between Imilchil and Tabant—is it a dirt track, and what condition is it in? Any paved roads? We’ll have a 4x4. My GPS shows a track that would connect Imilchil directly to the Cathedral of Rocks (near Tilougguite), without taking the big detour via the R 306. I can’t find this track on any map. How long should we allow for the trip between Imilchil and Tabant? Is this route doable year-round? Are there any wadi crossings?

Thanks for any recent tips on this route! Best, Dominique
