Hello !!

Désolée de décevoir ce qui cherchait un témoignage de vie dans ce pays, car je suis moi-même à l'affût d'un tel témoignage.

Je sollicité (tout ce que vous me raconterez m'intéressera) tout genre de renseignements, de témoignage d'aventures, mésaventures, sensations, émotions, conseils.... de ceux qui ont passé un moment assez long au Mexique.

Je compte en effet partir dans ce pays aux couleur chatoyantes en août pour une durée d'environ un an, je ne sais pas encore exactement si je vais habiter dans le Yucatan, Oaxaca ou Chiapas..

Un très grand merci à qui voudra me raconter, m'aguiller, voir rentrer en contact direct avec moi pour me parler de sa passion pour ce pays.

Bonjour !

À vous qui avez voyagé au Chili et en Argentine: je vous demande de me donner des informations svp! Je pars en juillet pour 1 mois avec quelqu'un. Sac à dos, petit budget, découvrir les richesses naturelles des 2 pays, le monde, etc. J'ai besoin d'info de gens qui y sont déjà allés pour: visites, parcours et itinéraires, beautés de la nature, endroits où dormir et ... le budget! Je sais que c'est plus cher que d'autres pays d'Amér. du Sud. Mais pour 1 mois, vivre là-bas c'est combien?

Merci d'avance à tous ceux qui me répondront!

Christine

Bonjour à tous!

J'attends vos réponses!

Merci d'avance et à bientôt

Hi everyone, We're planning a trip to Chile to visit the Atacama Desert and then head toward Putre, Lauca, Salar de Surire, etc. Which would be the better time to go, April or November? Is an SUV enough? Looking forward to your tips!

Hello, Active and fit senior here—I’ll be in Thailand and neighboring countries for 3 months starting mid-December. I know these places well after spending many winters there over the years, but I’m not keen on traveling solo anymore, even though you do meet people along the way when you’re on your own. I haven’t bought my flight ticket yet. If you’d like to chat about it, I’d be happy to. Jeanette

Hi there! I’m heading out in August for a two-day trek in the Vale do Pati. Do I need proper hiking boots, or will trail-running shoes do the job? Thanks in advance for your feedback! 😊😃

Hello fellow cycling friends,

I’m heading out very soon for a few weeks in France and elsewhere on my trusty two-wheeled steel steed, with a total of me + luggage = around 120 kg gross weight, and I’ve never really tackled mountain passes before—something I’ll definitely be facing this time...

Currently, I’m running 700c wheels and a Deore XT 10-speed drivetrain (long-cage derailleur) with a 26/36/48 chainring setup and an 11-36 cassette. I’m considering two options (and possible modifications) to get a lower gear ratio (currently 0.72) and spin more easily on steep and mountainous climbs...

1 – Install an 11-42 cassette This would give me a gear ratio of 0.61. Would this be feasible with my current rear derailleur, please?

I have several new chains with 116 links—would these work for this cassette, which would have 6 more teeth on the largest cog, or would I need a longer chain?

2 – Swap the 26-tooth small chainring for a 24-tooth one This would give me a gear ratio of 0.66. Would this be feasible, please?

When switching to a 24T, will the gap be accepted by the 36-tooth middle chainring, and will shifting remain as smooth as it is now? Will this setup (24/36/48 + 11-36 cassette) still work well together, in your opinion?

Which of these two options do you think would be more feasible and preferable?

What drivetrain and gearing do you use on your bikes for loaded touring that sometimes involves climbing mountain passes and other steep ascents?

So many questions... Thanks for your answers and advice! Have a great day,

Spady

Hello,

A few months ago, I posted a message in the Southern Africa section about a family trip in July/August. In the end, since I had too much trouble deciding on the destination and procrastinated too much with the planning 😎, I changed my mind and we’re going for a completely different trip—to Madagascar, a country we already know a bit since we’ve traveled there several times for 4 to 6 months each time, though our last visit was back in 2012!

The tickets are booked: 19 days on the ground (excluding arrival and departure days in Tana), spanning July and August.

We’re not looking to rack up landscapes (and kilometers). The kids really want to see lots of animals, while we mostly want to show them what daily life is like in Malagasy villages. So ideally, we’d like a trip split into two parts: - For 8/10 days, a hiking portion. The idea isn’t to do a tough trek in very remote areas but rather to walk from one village to another. Let’s say 3-4 hours a day. And when we arrive in each village, we’d have time to explore a bit, chat with the locals, let our kids play with the village children, etc. Stay with locals when possible. Move to a new village every day or every 2-3 days. - A few days visiting 1 or 2 national parks (with lemurs if possible to keep everyone happy!) - With the inevitable travel days, we’ll quickly hit 19 days.

Does this kind of trip sound doable (and fun) to you? Do you know of any villages that would fit our hiking plans?

I don’t have a preferred region yet, except that very dry landscapes appeal to me less. My real love from past trips was the highlands and their bright green rice paddies against red earth, but I’m a bit worried about the cold at this time of year.

After my initial research (thanks to this forum), I get the impression that the Ambalavao/Ambohimahamasina area might meet our criteria. I saw there are "accueil paysan" (farm stays) in that area, which could match what we’re looking for and would let us visit Andringitra National Park and Ranomafana on the way there or back.

But I’m open to all your more original ideas!

For logistical questions (transport, guides, accommodations, etc.), I’ll tackle those later—it’ll depend on the area we choose.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Hello

Out of all my travels, I haven’t been to Vietnam yet. Does anyone have plans to visit the country?

Looking forward to hearing from you, Christine

We’re heading to Vietnam for 3 weeks from January 17th to February 6th. In addition to the Mekong Delta and the central region, we’d like to spend some time by the sea. We’re torn between visiting the islands of Hon Son/Nam Du/(+Phu Quoc?) or choosing Con Dao Island. We’re hesitant because we’ve read that the sea around Con Dao can be rough and not great for swimming at this time of year (and that boats might be canceled). Could you share your thoughts? Thanks

PAKSE AND THE BOLAVENS PLATEAU

Bolavens (or "Bolovens" – "the region of the Lavens," an old tribe).

PAKSE

A sleepy town, but packed with backpackers in transit between Laos and Cambodia. The streets are numbered, but since there are no signs, you just have to figure it out (rumor has it the signs have been planned for years; luckily, the center isn’t big). Tons of small hotels, including the well-known Sabaidy 2 on Street 20, a big bazaar catering to all budgets, from dark dorms with shared bathrooms to real rooms with terraces or balconies. Since it’s so popular, booking ahead is recommended. My favorite: the Sala Champa, pricier but with two large terraces, one with a bar, and especially a terrace restaurant I consider the best in Pakse (try the divine steamed fish with lemongrass + Lao Gold beer, a rare delight; ask for room 100, with a big terrace). More upscale, the lovely Résidence Sisouk, run by the very classy and French-speaking Mme Sisouk, from the wealthy Lao Sisouk family, the country’s top coffee producer and one of those francophone families you encounter here and there around the world, where class and culture reign – and perfect French. Delicious pastries and, of course, extraordinary coffee tastings. Similar prices at the Pakse Hotel, run by French owners and famous for its rooftop bar-restaurant (great view!).

Tons of restaurants besides those at Sala Champa and Pakse Hotel: from Dao Lin and Sabaidee at the corner of Street 20 and 13, to a decent Indian place (Hassan) and a nice, cheap spot, the Lao Restaurant & Bar, where you can enjoy Lao cuisine for just a few kips, both also on Street 20. You can feast on grilled fish at the countless riverside stalls along the Mekong.

Pakse is home to the famous Yves, a Belgian married to a Lao woman, Noy, who opened the travel agency Miss Noy. He’ll go out of his way to help tourists; he’s incredible, the real tourism office for the region, with maps, endless advice, and every weekday at 6 PM, a full-blown lecture on the Bolavens and the 4000 Islands. A bunch of young travelers listen intently to his explanations about the whole area (he hands out a well-made photocopied map). He also rents bikes and has an internet café with computers that, miraculously, work perfectly. He’s so popular that in high season, you need to book a motorbike 2-3 days in advance (but if he’s out – and he has 40 – he’ll find one for you).

THE BOLAVENS PLATEAU

Plateaus just aren’t my thing – flat-lands! There are some relatively high peaks in the middle, but they’re only accessible by trekking. You can do a small loop from Pakse-Tad Lo-Thateng-Pakson-Pakse, or a big one from Tad Lo to Sekong, then head south to join the Paksong-Pakse road. Starting in the north, the Phu Xam waterfalls are okay (interesting local minority village-museum to the right of the parking lot, and a terrace restaurant above the small falls). Well, they’re on the way, so you might as well see them! After that, a boring road leads to the Tad Lo waterfalls, with tons of small hotels. I chose the big blue house by the river at the right corner of the bridge, the Sipaseth GH, with cute little bungalows in the garden, 4 rooms with balconies overlooking the river, and great food on the terrace facing the falls. **Avoid at all costs**: the Saisee GH, once nice with its little stilt houses by the falls, but now a monument to filth, indifference, and rudeness (confirmed by several people, unanimous on the issue). Luckily, the lovely Tad Lo Lodge, with its bungalows by the falls and gourmet restaurant right above them – not cheap at all – finally built small houses in the woods on the other side for $25.

The next morning, I’d had enough of plateaus, so I took a small loop heading south from Tad Lo to Thateng, and there, a wonder 5 km south of town: the Sinouk Resort. It’s like stepping into *Gone with the Wind* or the Chevalier de Leyritz’s Martinique. In the middle of the Sisouk family’s 34-hectare coffee plantation, a huge garden with three large colonial-style houses: one by the river and pond with a suite + 3 luxury rooms + a small, cozy one for $40 (that’s where I stayed), one with 4 superior rooms for $60, and a very large one overlooking everything with 6 luxury rooms ($60) + 2 huge suites for $90. Of course, it’s all decorated with antique furniture, local knick-knacks, and antiques; there’s a pool, a beautiful restaurant with two terraces, one overlooking a large pond and one by its edge. The food and service are impeccable, and the coffee: from espresso with whipped cream to green tea or wild honey cappuccino… too bad it keeps you up, or you’d sip it all evening (and morning, and afternoon, and in between). In short, a dream!

Back to Pakse via Paksong (what a dump!) and the Tad Fane waterfalls, those are spectacular – twin sisters plunging 200 meters. You can hike down to swim at the bottom (1-hour jungle trek round trip). Across the way, the nice Tad Fane Resort (small houses and a big terrace-restaurant facing the falls).

I think I missed the Katamkok waterfalls, but I don’t believe it – all these falls can’t compare to Ban Gioc Falls in northern Vietnam!!!

CHAMPASAK AND THE 4000 ISLANDS

CHAMPASAK

Even sleepier than Pakse! To avoid the ferry, cross the new Mekong bridge in Pakse, and after about 10 km, turn left at the big "Phaphinoy" sign (the first village in town). When you arrive, turn at the "River Resort" sign. A sumptuous resort on the Mekong, developed with American capital – pure luxury (they even have their own rice field and vegetable garden for the restaurant). Continuing on, you’ll come across the very pleasant Anouxa GH, where I had dinner and stayed. Small bungalows facing the river, garden rooms, and two large wooden houses with huge family rooms + a big terrace on the Mekong, and the food is great! They rent bikes and motorbikes. Further to the right, the pricey Inthira Hotel, which I found uninteresting since it’s on the road instead of by the Mekong. There’s also a Folie Lodge on Don Daeng Island, which I didn’t visit (the word "Folie" is justified: crazy prices, up to $200 and more).

A few nice wats and, of course, Wat Phou, Laos’ most important archaeological site, 10 km south of Champassak in the plains and on the mountainside (the stairs are a killer!). Watch out for the scorching heat, and it closes at 4:30 PM. It’s not Angkor Wat, but it’s still worth the detour. Plan for 2 hours. Entry is 50,000 kips + 5,000 to park your motorbike.

KHIET NGON

To continue south to the 4000 Islands, you have to take the "ferry" (actually fun little things – two canoes joined by a platform; better not mess up when loading your motorbike!). Once on the other side, turn left, and you’ll hit National Road 13 (Pakse-Siphandone, the 4000 Islands), the most boring road I’ve ever been on, like Phnom Penh-Siem Reap – flat and nothing to see. BUT there’s a real gem worth checking out: Kiet Ngon. At Km 48, take the laterite road toward Attapeu (big sign: "Attapeu 155 km") and eat red dust for 8 km (toll: 20,000 kips), then turn right (signposted) onto a good track. You enter the beautiful Xe Pian National Park, where you can still find wild elephants, leopards, and tigers. You arrive at the entrance of the small village of Ban Khiet Ngon. On your right, a small concrete building with 4 decent, cheap rooms (60,000 kips), facing an old wooden house that serves as the tourism office and its "elephant parking" garden. This village is where you can go on an elephant ride (20,000 kips) to the top of Phou Asa, one of the most unusual places I’ve ever seen. You climb through the jungle and emerge onto a flat slate summit, completely bare – it really feels like the Moon! In the distance, an astonishing site built to commemorate a victory by Lao nationalists over Siamese invaders in the 19th century (so the site isn’t 1,000 years old, as the locals claim). A vast archaeological site with an enclosure 180 m by 50 m, marked by 2-meter-high walls and columns made of slate stacked without mortar. At the back, a ruined temple and a tower. Beautiful views of the whole region. Popular with tourists arriving by minibus from Pakse. The elephant rides in a line aren’t my thing, so they tell you it’s forbidden to ride a motorbike, but I did it anyway without any issues – except for the unhappy looks from the mahouts (turn right at the village entrance, sign for "Phou Asa").

If you’ve got the funds, follow the signs for "Kingfisher Lodge" and arrive at Laos’ first ecolodge, developed by a Lao-Italian family. Lovely stilt houses (750,000 kips with breakfast) and 2 bungalows with just fans (250,000 kips). A small two-story wooden building with a restaurant and a terrace by a pond – the bonus: in the evening, wild elephants and buffalo come to drink with you. Booking ahead is recommended since it’s popular with groups from Pakse.

Paper guides also mention the more remote village of Ban Papho, deep in the jungle. There used to be elephant rides, but they’ve stopped. However, there are great treks in the national park (check with the Green Discovery agency in Pakse, which specializes in treks all over Laos).

THE 4000 ISLANDS

You continue on the mind-numbing Road 13 from Pakse and arrive at a brand-new bridge leading to Don Khong Island, where there’s nothing to see except two wats, so if you skip it, you’re not missing much. Next, the Nakasang sign, a small port with mini-ferries crossing the Mekong to Don Det Island. A celebrity, that one – one of those trashy spots for young people who think you can only have fun if you’re wasted on alcohol and drugs. A small street along the river, lined with guesthouses, restaurants, and bars – total chaos! Plus, there’s nothing to see on the island. So, take a tuk-tuk from the jetty, cross the dump, and arrive in a little paradise: Don Khone Island. I planned to stay 2 days but had to be dragged away after 6. A small main village with a dirt road, tons of guesthouses and great restaurants, and lots of beautiful things to see.

For lodging on Don Khone, it’s usually wooden bungalows with river-view terraces. Options range from the elegant and pricey Sala Done Hotel to Somphamit, Pan’s, Pakha GH, and many others. I found my haven away from everything: the little Phonvilay, 3 small bamboo buildings with 2 simple rooms each, terraces above a branch of the Mekong, and a big plus – a small path just to the right that goes down the riverbank, so 3-4 nice swims a day. All for 60,000 kips. To get there, turn right at the end of the bridge until you reach the wat, then take the small path to the river on the right of the wat’s wall.

For food, you’re spoiled for choice. I had all my dinners at the Cordon Bleu of the Fleur du Mékong. I don’t know how she does it, but even the simplest dishes have something extra. She’s famous for her curry (more like a mild stew) of duck or chicken with potatoes and sweet potatoes – a hearty treat. Go for the chicken; Asian ducks are all skin and bones. Her grilled fish is divine!

The island has quite a history: the Mekong upstream is over a kilometer wide (it’s said to reach 14 km during high water) and "falls" onto a rocky barrier. It splits into countless small branches, flowing wherever there’s a crack – hence the 4000 Islands and the impressive rapids. The French discovered this while trying to navigate the Mekong from Saigon to Luang Prabang and China – and bam, impassable! So they built a narrow-gauge railway starting from the south of the island, bypassing the rapids, and ending at the north of Don Det Island. You can see two rusted locomotives, discovered in the jungle in 1990 by a French explorer: one in the southern extension of the bridge and the other in Ban Hang Khone village at the southern tip of the island, both with large English signs and fascinating old photos explaining the whole history of the railway, abandoned when Road 13 was built along the 4000 Islands (the rails were removed, and the railway track is now an excellent trail).

Somphamit Rapids (Li Phi)

Locals call them Li Phi, meaning "the abyss of evil spirits" (the "phi" that Lao people still believe in), because they think the falls and rapids trap spirits, to the point that no one would ever swim there. It’s very dramatic. Entry fee: 35,000 kips. Small beach and a big restaurant with a terrace and thatched-roof tables.

Khon Pa Sai Rapids

A completely different kind, just as spectacular, and less crowded. Turn left at the bridge exit and go to the northern end of the island (Ban Khon Nua village), then continue south until you see a big yellow sign "Khon Pa Sai Waterfalls" pointing to a small path on the left. You arrive at a small suspension bridge with a corner restaurant and terrace where the food is great (I had most of my lunches there). Cross the bridge and follow the path to a spectacular site of falls and rapids. In the middle, you’ll see unique structures – gigantic fish traps over 10 meters long. During high water, each trap can catch up to 500 kg of fish (yes, five hundred) per day.

Ban Hang Khone

This is the "French port" at the southern tip of the island, where the Mekong, after its rapids, spreads out for kilometers – a real inland sea. This is where you can see the famous Irrawaddy dolphins in the morning or late afternoon (boat excursions). To get there, take the trail that was the old railway track, or continue south on the path past the Khon Pa Sai falls (but not by motorbike – the bridge is out). A huge concrete terrace, part of the old port facilities, with a magnificent panoramic view of the Mekong stretching into the distance. Just before, a small path leads to a big beach (with restaurants).

If you go back to Road 13 (or take a pirogue from Don Khone), further south are the Pha Peng Falls, Asia’s highest river falls (15 m). I didn’t go, but they’re said to be spectacular.

The reopening of the forum is great news—let's keep it going! I’m going to share a little story about this 12-day trip, which was my second-to-last journey and my most recent one in Africa for now.

I went to this country for one very specific reason: to see two endemic animal species. A little suspense… you’ll find out what they are soon if you don’t already know!

The country is poor, very poor even. And it hits you even harder when you arrive in the capital: a massive open-air construction site that gives an impression of prosperity. A lot of roads were built by the Chinese, but to be honest, they’re far from perfect… and I mean *far*!

When it comes to restaurants, it’s pretty much the same story. Most offer endless menus, but in reality, there aren’t many choices. Once, I was flat-out told: “No rice today!” Ordering a dish? It’s a real gamble! The food is *very* spicy—I’m warning you, it’s intense! There’s chili in almost everything, so it’s best to ask beforehand if you don’t want your mouth on fire. Actually, this was the first time I didn’t like the food in a country I visited. Had to happen eventually, right?

Their national dish? Injera. A large flatbread topped with sauces, vegetables, and meat. The taste is really unique—some love it, others… not so much.

bonjour a tous,

je prépare un voyage de 18 à 20 jours au vietnam pour le mois de janvier 2021 ou 2022 (suivant l'évolution du covid.

pour commencer notre style de voyage c'est loin des touristes et proche des endroits authentiques. (loin des club med ou autres).

j'ai commencé a regarder pour des guesthouses ou chambre chez l'habitant, ça serait notre mode d'hébergement. nous nous accorderons surement un joli hôtel dans le sejour.

nous devrions atterrir à ho chi minh ville. je prévois des faire des étapes de 2h30 maximum de moto pour relier les différentes destinations.

j'ai déjà repéré plusieurs lieu pouvant nous interesser :

-tunnel de cu chi -buu long pagoda -phan rang -thac ba -Chua suoi mo -parc naturel de cat tien avec comme logement des maison en bambou en bord du cours d'eau.

nous voulons faire une boucle en remontant par la cote les dernier jours. chaque étape durerais un ou deux jours.

bien sur rien n'est encore défini.

connaissez vous des lieux dans cette zone sud du vietnam valant le coup d'oeil, des activité sympas à faire, des guesthouses ou chambre chez l'habitant à recommander .

comment faite vous pour l'assurance moto?

comment être sur de ne pas se faire escroquer par un taxi (j'ai vu que ça devenait régulier).

je suis preneur de tous conseils. merci d'avance a vous.

Bonjour à tous, J'ai une semaine de vacances fin septembre, au moment de l'ouverture de la chasse. Je cherche une idée de rando de 5/6 jours, en moyenne montagne, ou n'importe où en France, tant que c'est joli ! J'habite dans l'Essonne, et certains jours, surtout à l'automne, impossible de se balader tranquillement (jusqu'à devoir faire des détours par le goudron pour éviter les battues)... Un week-end en Baie de Somme avait été gâché par des sentiers inaccessibles... fermés par les chasseurs (et ça tirait énormément !) J'ai déjà fait une bonne partie du gr34, le chemin de St Guilhem (ma rando préférée), le Gr30... mais pas à cette époque-là. Merci pour vos bonnes idées !

Bonjour, Avec mon conjoint nous programmons notre voyage de noce pour octobre avec Costa. Une croisière de 11 jours au départ de Venise suivit des îles grecques et de la Croatie. Nous hésitons sur le choix de la cabine, entre la cabine avec balcon et la suite panorama ( il n y a plus les autres suites dispo). Ni connaissant pas grand chose et n arrivant pas à trouver la réponse où des avis, pouvez vous me dire si la suite vaut vraiment le détour en elle même et les services proposés sont ils vraiment bien ?

Merci de vos réponses. Laetitia

Bonjour, après presque 3 mois en lockdown, nous avons décider de nous rendre dans le Colorado, pour se prendre une bonne dose de nature et de montagne. Nous souhaiterions, faire pas plus de 3 arrêts en 2 semaines 1/2 afin de profiter du paysage, les petites balades avec enfants de 4 ans, profiter d'un bel espace une maison ou un appartement à louer. si quelqu'un aurait des pistes ou des bonnes adresses ou des recommandations nous serions preneurs. On pensait louer à Denver ou environ pour faire une découverte de la ville ( au tant que faire ce peu avec les conditions actuelles bien sure). On pense aussi à Colorado Spring.

Merci

Bonjour !

Mon amis et moi avons comme projet de voyager à pied au sein de Madagascar durant 3 mois. Nous aimerons commencer par la côte Nord est, remonter jusqu'à Antsiranana pour descendre par la cote ouest jusqu'à Belo-sur-mer. Si possible nous aimerions finir par Isalo et remonter a Tana par Andringitra et Fianarantsoa.

Nos questions sont donc les suivantesm :

Sur ce circuit que pouvons nous faire à pied ?

Ensuite, est-ce que c'est possible et envisageable sans prendre de guide ? Tous en restant dans les délais et en prenant des taxis pour éviter les zones dangereuses ou infranchissables.

Ensuite, auriez-vous des conseils à nous fournir selon certains ville où quartier à éviter ? Ou certains lieu à ne pas manqué !

Nous somme friands de tous conseils !

PS : On veut surtout voir un maximum de chose grâce à la force de nos jambes. Mais on veut pas partir sans tous avoir vue ! On ne souhaite pas prendre de risque inconsidérée non plus donc soyez prévenant.

Personne ne le sait Il faudra prendre en considération beaucoup d'inconnues qui ne favoriseront pas la réponse.

- La fin de propagation du virus c'est pour quand ?

- Serons nous amené à porter un masque indéfiniment en attendant un médicament ou un vaccin ?

- La crise économique aura des impacts inimaginables et considérables. Voyager deviendra peut-être un luxe.

- Combien de compagnies aériennes vont pouvoir survivre ?

- Les déplacements en avion à quel prix. ?

- Quelles seront les nouvelles conditions d'entrées pour chaque pays ? Assurance, certificat médical, historique des pays visités , quarantaine à prévoir

S'il y a des devins c'est le moment de vous exprimer.

Bonjour à tous Nous sommes un couple de 75 et 76 ans en bonne forme. Nous avons l'habitude d'organiser nous meme nos voyage avec l'aide de ce forum. Nous avons une bonne connaissance de l'Afrique du Nord, mais sur les conseils d'amis nous souhaitons nous "lancer" en Asie du Sud Est. Nous projetons de partir 6 à 7 semaines à partir du 28 octobre 2020. Nos poles d'interets sont -visites -petits trecs -vivre au milieu des habitants. -calme Il faudrait que le circuit tienne compte des conditions climatiques, surtout" pas trop chaud" On aime bien se déplacer en bus ou train . Gros problème....par quel pays débuter?Quel circuit peut-on envisager? Je suis certain que "ce maudit confinement"permettra un échange fructueux Je vous en remercie à l'avance.

Bonjour, Prendre un train en Equateur faisait partie de mon idée de voyage dans ce pays. J'avais plein d'images en tête... Mais on m'a dit que cela avait beaucoup changé, que c'était devenu complètement touristique. Alors y a-t-il encore une portion intéressante, moins "artificielle" que les autres ? Je pensais au train de la Libertad ou del Hielo ou de la Nariz del Diablo . Ou bien vaut-il mieux abandonner carrément l'idée et consacrer cette journée à autre chose. D'avance merci pour vos réponses. Cordialement. Michèle

Bonjour tout le monde,

Je planifie un voyage de 23 jours en septembre prochain qui comprendrait, dans l’idéal, des visites autour de Salta en Argentine, un tour dans la région du sud de la Bolivie pour finir avec la visite de Cuzco au Pérou. La question est de savoir si c’est envisageable, surtout en matière de liaisons entre les différents lieux. Voici le programme un peu plus en détails:

2 jours de voyage 7 premiers jours pour faire la boucle nord et la boucle sud autour de Salta en self drive. 1 jour pour rejoindre la frontière avec la Bolivie et rejoindre Tupiza 4 jours dans le Sud Lipez et le Salar d’Uyuni 1 jour pour relier Uyuni à Cuzco (en avion) 6 jours autour de Cuzco, dont le Machu Picchu 1 jour pour rejoindre Lima depuis Cuzco 2 jours de voyage retour

Possibilité de rajouter une journée dans le programme. Pour ceux qui connaissent le coin, pensez-vous qu’un tel projet soit réalisable? Merci pour vos retours et belle journée à tous :)

Marc

Avec deux amis , nous avons passé douze jour sur le fleuve gelé nous avons quitté le fleuve par deux fois: pour aller à Lingshed et à Nierak Une belle aventure humaine de 184 kms

Bonjour à tous,

Ma femme et moi partons au Népal pendant 18 jours en mars et aimerions savoir si vous aviez quelques conseils à nous donner! :-) (choses pratiques à savoir, immanquables à voir, à visiter, ...)

Egalement nous souhaiterons aller dans le Mustang. Cela semble compliqué de s'y rendre... Auriez-vous des conseils à nous donner? Idéalement nous aimerions faire une rando à cheval, si vous avez des plans nous sommes preneurs!

Merci beaucoup d'avance pour vos conseils!!!

Arthur

Bonjour à toutes et à tous !!

Nous avons 6 jours plein fin février et comptons aller à Marrakech . Est ce suffisant pour avoir un bon aperçu de la ville ? Peux t-on meme envisagé une excursion autour de la ville , quoi voir ? Une location de voiture est-elle indispensable si on reste sur la ville ? Merci pour vos réponses et joyeux Noel à tous, Christophe
