🤪 eh bien comme beaucoup, je ne sais que croire au sujet des traitements anti-palu...je pars début Janvier pour un voyage d'une dizaine de mois en Amérique du Sud et dans les Caraïbes ; au programme Brésil, Argentine, Chili, Bolivie, Pérou, Equateur et Cuba si tout se passe bien ! mon médecin me conseille de la malarone, mais pour faire le calcul de combien de boîtes me seront nécéssaires..aïe aïe aïe c'est là que ça se corse...je n'ai pas vraiment prévu de trip en Amazonie...et je n'arrive pas à determiner dans quelles zones un traitement me sera vraiment nécéssaire ...peut-être dans le Nord du Brésil dans le Maranhao vers Sao Luis ? peut-être dans le Nord de l'Argentine qui, m'a-t-ont dit, est très marécageux ? merci de vos lumières sur la question !!

FARASHA

Je cherche des informations (toutes infos, histoire, logement, ...) sur Tiradentes une ville historique à 200 km au sud de Belo Horizonte dans le Minas.

Merci

Georges.

Et bien voilà, je quitte pour l'Amérique du Sud dans quelques jours à peine en débutant par l'Île de Pâque qui fais plutôt parti du Sud Pacifique, mais bon, par la suite le Pérou et je suis hésitant à savoir si il est préférable de visiter l'Amazonie par le Pérou ou par le Brésil, destination final de mon périple d'ou je quitte via Sao Paolo. Alors toute information sur l'Amazonie serait grandement apprécié, sinon j'improviserai sur place!

merci,

love, light and Rock n' roll!!

salut des tuyaux sur le brésil je vais y rester pendant 1 mois. Les pass sont ils une necessité ?

et nord vaut il la peine de s'y rendre

Hi everyone,

We’re leaving in 9 days for a two-week trip to Madeira, mainly to hike.

From my research, I’ve found that since last year, access to most trails—and systematically for the most popular ones—is now paid. You have to pay an access fee of 4.50 € per person per classified hike in 2026, and even 10.50 € for the most iconic hike: Pico Arieiro to Pico Ruivo. When paying, you also have to choose a day and a 30-minute time slot for your start time. Of course, this reservation is neither changeable nor refundable, even if the weather that day is terrible.

Personally, given the massive influx of tourists to the island in recent years, I don’t mind paying a fee to help maintain the trails. Similarly, setting a limit on the number of people who can hike them per day is certainly preferable to preserve this priceless heritage.

However, what’s much less fair is that in reality, most of the available spots are reserved: 1/ for Madeira residents (which is normal); 2/ for "economic operators" (meaning local tour operators). For example, if you’re a non-resident (independent tourist), no booking is possible for the Pico Arieiro hike for an early morning start before September! So, unfortunately, we’ll have to skip this hike. It’s the same issue for Ponta de São Lourenço, the 25 Fontes, Pico Ruivo... in short, all the most popular hikes. Oh well, we’ll skip those too!

So my question is: which hikes do you recommend where we won’t face the huge crowds that the others get? And where we can book the day before for the next day, taking the weather into account?

Finally, a quick accommodation question: we’ve booked the first week in Funchal, but I haven’t decided yet for the second week. Do you have any advice on where to stay in the south or north, preferably avoiding overly concrete-heavy and touristy spots?

Thanks in advance for your tips! 🙂

If you’ve already posted your three photos in the contest thread Staircases: May 2026 Photo Contest Theme and a fourth one comes to mind, you can ease your staircase obsession here.

A few examples of staircases:



Some of the 6,600 steps on the staircase leading to the summit of Jade Emperor Peak at 1,545 meters.



Emergency staircase at the Orléans library (France).



Brussels street artist Créons incorporates the staircase into the dress design of his character.



The staircase is part of the roof of Villa Malaparte (Adalberto Libera) on the island of Capri (Italy).

Hello, We’re a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids who’ll be 2, 7, and 10 years old) planning to visit the islands of Santiago, Fogo, and Maio this summer. We’ll have 22 full days on the ground. It’s a shame (financially, logistically, and environmentally speaking!), but we’ll be taking 4 flights: a round-trip from Santiago to Fogo and another from Santiago to Maio. We’d like to position Maio toward the end of our stay since we enjoy ending our trips with a quieter beach phase.

For now, based on flight schedules and dates, we’re thinking of doing: 23/07: Arrival in Santiago 24/07 – 30/07: Fogo (5 full days) 30/07 – 05/08: Santiago (5 full days) 05/08 – 11/08: Maio (5 full days) 11/08 – 15/08: Santiago (3 full days) 15/08: Return to France

FOGO: Of course, we want to visit Cha das Caldeiras, where we’d like to spend 3 nights. We’d love to explore the valley and are also considering hiking the smaller Pico (the taller one seems too ambitious for us with the kids). Do you have any info on that hike? What else do you recommend doing on the other days? Where can we go for other walks? I’ve seen that it’s possible to descend from Cha das Caldeiras to Monteiros, but I’m worried it might still be too challenging. It looks amazing!! But how do we manage with our luggage? Otherwise, the north of the island intrigues me, though we’re not thrilled about São Filipe, even though we know we’ll have to spend at least one night there before returning to Santiago.

On this island, we initially thought about not renting a car, but I’m wondering if that’s a good idea for us with all the luggage. If we do rent one, is it easy to reach Cha das Caldeiras by car? Any advice is welcome!

MAIO: Here, I think renting a car will be essential for us to get around easily. We’d like to do an excursion to observe turtle nesting. I haven’t found much info on this—where and with whom should we go? Otherwise, the plan is to do some snorkeling directly from the beach, independently, since we’ll need to take turns so one adult can stay with our 2-year-old. Any spots you’d recommend?

Which towns would you suggest staying in? All options work for us—we’re fine with settling in one place or splitting our time (e.g., 3 nights in one spot and 3 nights elsewhere).

Basically, I’m open to all tips and recommendations for this little week on Maio (short walks, places to relax, beaches, etc.)!

SANTIAGO: Nothing too original, but for Santiago, we’re considering visiting Cidade Velha, Tarrafal, and Ribeira da Prata (for the black sand beach and natural pools), as well as Serra Malagueta for a hike. There must be so much more to do, especially with the time we have. What else would you recommend?

I’m struggling to figure out how to organize our time there since we’ll have 5 full days first, then 3 more. How would you do it?

Thanks,

Hi there,

I can't seem to find flights between the Cape Verde islands on the airline's website. No matter the date or route, I always get the same response: "no flights on this date." See the photo. Would anyone have an explanation? Surely not all flights are fully booked in July?

Best, Thierry

Hi there, for those who’ve been recently—is it possible to find other solo travelers in March on the island to share transport or room costs? It doesn’t seem easy to travel on a budget. If you have any recommendations for simple lodgings or places with dorms, I’d love to hear them. For those who’ve done multi-day treks while moving around: do you need to bring your own sleeping bag? I’d love to hear about itineraries you’ve done without a guide, just with a map and GPS. Thanks, and have a great day!

Hi everyone! The forum has been a huge help during my moments of doubt, and since Cape Verde isn’t a destination with many discussions, I felt I had to share my trip report 🙂

First, the EASE: I could never validate it from my phone—I tried 50 times without success, and on the computer, it worked the first time. Then, Cabo Verde Airlines: forget online check-in. I went to the airport early to get my window seat (and in the end, the plane wasn’t full—I had three seats to myself, so I could finish my night peacefully). No in-flight entertainment for those who don’t sleep on planes.

Monday 9: Flight + arrival at Antonio’s (Oia Mindelo Guesthouse). Antonio’s apartment is up on the hill, but really, it’s only a 10-minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to the city center (depending on where in the center). He picked me up at the airport (1000$). I continued relaxing by doing... nothing on the beach. Dinner in town at Café Mindelo: a pretty place, but otherwise meh—expensive and not necessarily good (2100$ for a beer and a fish that didn’t seem freshly caught as advertised). Tuesday 10: Antonio offered to do a tour of the island (for cheap), and we left with his other guests (a lovely English couple, 76 and 77 years old). Stops at Salamansa (I felt something special on that beach—I could’ve stayed there for an hour doing nothing), then another scenic spot, a restaurant, and Baias das Gatas (I took a quick dip, but to me, it had less charm than Salamansa). Then we crossed the island to return to São Pedro (beautiful but windy; the village looks cute). Exhausted, I went to bed early because of the ferry to Santo Antão the next day. Wednesday 11: Antonio took me to the ferry, and we’ll see each other again since he’s hosting me at his aunt’s place during Carnival. On the ferry, I had a Booking.com reservation for what I thought was in Ribeira Grande (the town), but it was actually *in* the ribeira—specifically in Manta Velha (aluguer to Cruzinha ~600$). I thought I’d fallen into a hole, but I ended up loving it—Casa Familiar Gilda. Gilda is a divine cook (dinner for 1000$—don’t eat lunch, or there won’t be room), the village has a typical rural Santo Antão vibe, the place has great energy, and you can get around easily by aluguer. Thursday 12: I left early by aluguer to Ribeira Grande (250$), then another aluguer to Ponta do Sol (100$)—a sleepy beauty at that hour—to do the Ponta do Sol-Cruzinha hike, finishing in Cha de Igreja. Departure at 8:22 AM from the cemetery in Ponta do Sol, passing through Fontainhas (those doing it the other way will have a fabulous climb at the end 😏), and let’s go! I loved this glimpse of rural life—past or present—the sea is stunning, and we were shaded most of the way (though it goes up and down, it’s manageable). The arrival at Cha de Mar is breathtaking, and Cruzinha is a charming little town (arrived at 12:30 PM). I’d brought my swimsuit after reading there was a beach, but I packed it back up—too many waves and big pebbles. I continued to Cha de Igreja (25 more minutes) after a short break (ask for the path that doesn’t go by the road). It’s adorable with its church square (you don’t see this layout much elsewhere). I might’ve stayed longer to enjoy the place, but a taxi driver asked if I wanted to return to Manta Velha (1000$), and like a fool, I said yes (it was 2:30 PM—I could’ve waited for the 4:30 PM aluguer for 100$, but oh well). But since I still had energy, I decided to see if I could find a grog distillery. I ran into a French guy arriving at Gilda’s, and we ended up talking to Rodrigo, who explained everything from A to Z about how they make grog (the simple cane juice is amazingly good—but the work is clearly tough). Friday 13: Transfer to Xoxo on Djalma’s advice 😉, where I’d booked a room at Casa Xoxo. I did the hike to Rabo Crusto... it’s tough, but I kept quiet when I saw a pregnant woman doing it with her two little ones 😄. There’s also a distillery I didn’t linger in, and I took a tea break with that wonderful landscape before heading back. I couldn’t find the path Jean-Michel had told me about (take a right at the village entrance), so I went back down to the water reservoir to turn off and take the waterfall path (anyone can point it out if needed). The bedding at Casa Xoxo was perfect, but the dinner atmosphere was less family-like. Saturday 14: No one at Casa Xoxo could tell me when the aluguer passed, so I scarfed down my breakfast and headed down a bit. I found one (not sure if he’d planned to work, but there were three of us, so he left). Arrived in Ribeira Grande, an aluguer driver told me the coastal road to Porto Novo was closed and we had to take the Corde road—but no one was leaving, so we’d have to charter... Sometimes, you just have to say it: aluguer drivers say there’s no ride just to make you pay the private price (3500$). But this time, it was true! With another French couple, we wanted to go to Tarrafal. Our driver called the Porto Novo-Tarrafal aluguer to wait for us. The Corde road is stunning—more different landscapes (thorny forest, misty peaks...). Changed aluguers in Porto Novo and headed to Tarrafal. Another world—lunar landscape on the way. Arrived in Tarrafal and relaxed. Sunday 15: Hike from Tarrafal to Monte Trigo, left at 8 AM, and I’m glad I did—I was in the shade until about 9:30 AM, then the sun got strong. Beautiful walk, arrived in Monte Trigo around 11:30 AM. The people weren’t particularly friendly, but oh well. Swam at the little beach in Monte Trigo (the water is *so* good). I waited for other French people who had “booked” a boat for the return. Came back with Javi (50 min—1000$ each), who lent us masks and snorkels for some snorkeling. Had grog with Ludo, Estelle’s husband, who was waiting at the bar, then filled my grog bottle at the *mercearia*. I admit, it’s delicious, but I don’t remember much of that evening 😇🤪. Except Javi put on a show saying he’d been robbed, had no money, and needed to pay the boat owner, etc. People paid again (apparently not me, since Ludo, Estelle, and I arrived at the restaurant after Javi’s drama). FYI, Javi does this often—my host had warned the couple renting the other room to watch out for him because he scams people for money. So Javi is 35 with hazel/special-colored eyes. But if you don’t repay the “service,” the day was still great. Monday 16: Several of us were taking the late-afternoon boat, so we chartered an aluguer (7000$) to avoid the 6 AM one—trip—boat to Mindelo. Antonio picked me up at the ferry, and boom—Carnival! I found a spot on Rua de Lisboa. My neighbor was from Santo Antão just for Carnival, spoke French, and explained that last year’s Carnival started 3 hours late because a float couldn’t fit under the power lines 😏 (like they don’t know the height by now hahaha). On Monday, it’s the teachers (nice—kind of a warm-up) and the Madingas. Once they passed my spot, I followed them along the route—I LOVED it! By midnight, they still hadn’t reached Praça Nova, and the police told them to speed up, but I loved that energy! Tuesday 17—Mardi Gras: Beach day, then Carnival! Antonio had bought me a seated ticket just in case (300$). Ended up in front of a punch stand, where I ran into two French women I’d met in Manta Velha. Two guys from Mindelo talked to us, and we did Carnival with them. And what was bound to happen, happened: a float couldn’t pass because... it was taller than the power lines 😏😏😏. The dancers kept dancing while the crowd tried to lift the cable. Finally, a guy in a tree climbed higher and used a pole to lift it... and the parade could continue 😉. Around 12:30–1:30 AM, when the concert was supposed to start, the power went out. I went home and later learned the concert started around 3 AM. Wednesday 18: I went home because I was taking the boat back to Santo Antão, heading to Casa Familiar Gilda. Walked the loop from Manta Velha. Thursday 19: Left early for Ribeira da Paul to do the loop to Sandra’s House. It’s truly breathtaking! Back at Gilda’s, I chilled. I wanted to go to Sinagoga’s natural pools, but the hike had worn me out. Friday 20: Return to Mindelo on the red company’s ferry—no comparison: way more comfortable than the blue company’s, especially for someone prone to seasickness. Beach. Exhausted, I struggled to sleep because the shop on the ground floor of my rental had a party until 3 AM (and the windows aren’t double-glazed—*hi*—but that’s common in Mindelo). Saturday 21: Ran into Estelle and Ludo by chance (the city’s small), and we arranged to share a taxi the next day since we had the same return flight. Beach (I tried Lazaretto Beach, but nope—not great—dead fish + weird smell = bad signs). So Laginhia was fine, and in the evening, a restaurant with singers, then Caravelle (the ground-floor shop didn’t bother me since I got home when they were saying goodbye 😏). Too bad—I dance salsa, bachata, kompa, zouk, but not kizomba hahaha, but it was still fun. Sunday 22: Took a taxi with Ludo and Estelle (1200$). Arrived *ages* before takeoff (no exchange office—get escudos in town if you have any left). Boom—CDG, boom—RER... home.

There you go—a super long trip report. Not sure if it’ll help, but the digital detox was amazing. These two islands are very different but so beautiful. I only got a glimpse, but they’re worth the trip. I was lucky to see Carnival (what joy in that city!) and happy the Cambodia ticket (my first idea) was way too expensive 😉

Hi, Without booking in advance through an agency, is it possible/easy to organize luggage transfer from one night to the next between accommodations in Santo Antão? Thanks.

Hello, I’d like to travel alone to the Algarve for about 10 days, as my husband sadly passed away. I’m thinking of going at the end of April or beginning of May 2026. I’ll fly into Faro, then rent a car and head toward the westernmost tip of the coast. Over 10 days, what are the best spots to see from Faro to the tip—hikes along the coastline or even exploring the countryside? For accommodations, can I also stay with locals? And which car rental company is the best? Thanks in advance for your help! Jo

Hi there! I have to leave Ivato/Antananarivo on December 16th. I have a lot of ariary that I’d like to exchange for euros since I might not be coming back to Madagascar (after this 21st trip). I think the exchange office at Ivato also buys ariary back. If any of you have seen the rate for this buyback in advance, thanks a million!

Hello, We’re planning our first trip to Brazil from October 10 to November 7, 2025. We’re a couple traveling with light backpacks using local transport. Here’s our planned route: Arrival in Rio de Janeiro, 5 days, Tiradentes, Ouro Preto, Belo Horizonte, 7 days, Flight from Belo Horizonte to Recife, Recife, Olinda, 4 days, Maceió, Penedo, 3 days, Aracaju, 3 days, Salvador de Bahia and surrounding areas, 5 days Departure from Salvador de Bahia to Paris

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can share!

Of course, everything is flexible except for our arrival in Rio and departure from Salvador de Bahia.

Could you also recommend a neighborhood to stay in Rio? Alod

Hi everyone, We’re a group of 3 friends traveling from Salvador de Bahia to Belém in November for a month. To plan our route, I’d love some tips on the must-see spots. We’ll be traveling by bus and are mostly looking for nature, as well as pretty towns and villages. Your advice will help us avoid missing too many great places. Thanks in advance to all of you! Thierry

hi,

We’re planning a trip to Brazil in March 2026, just the two of us, for 10 days without using an agency. Rio, the falls, and Bahia too. How can we get around there? Train? Car rental? Plane? Are the roads easy to drive on? Is Rio safe to explore on our own? We’d love any travel journals with ideas for places to see, as well as books to help us plan the whole trip. Thanks in advance for all your tips! See you soon, cheers

So, to start the year off right (Happy New Year!), This is where we can discuss January’s theme. With 20,000 km of French coastline (there’s a catch ;)), our beautiful country should be well represented!

Dig out those hard drives! Bruno

Bonjour,

En me connectant avec mon numéro de réservation sur la TAP, j'ai pu me rendre compte que nos vols en octobre pour le Cap Vert étaient annulés. (Les vols existent toujours et sont réservables via leurs site pourtant .... mais le prix et x4 quasiment !)

Je n'arrive pas à les joindre par téléphone (surtaxé d'ailleurs) ni par mail car ça me dit "error" à chaque fois via leur site.

Comment faire?

Bonjour,

Je suis en train de réfléchir à mes prochaines vacances fin octobre début novembre, et j'avais pensé au Cap Vert, qui me trotte dans la tête depuis un certain nombre d'années... cette période est propice ?

Nous sommes 3, avec une petite fille qui aura presque 3 ans, assez curieuse, et qui a déjà pris l'avion pour l'Ouest canadien et les canaries (lanzarote et fuerteventura). Pas de difficulté avec une petite ? Que ce soit au niveau sanitaire, transport (siège auto dans les taxis car si j'ai bien compris il ne faut pas louer une voiture), hébergement... Concernant la durée, on serait sur 2 semaines, mais s'il faut prolonger un peu, on le fera mais pas jusqu'à 3 semaines.

Nous aimerions articuler notre voyage avec de la rando, de la découverte de la culture locale et un peu de repos (pas de rando donc, ou on prendrait plus de temps en fin de séjour avec plage s'il y en a) : santo antao et fogo me semblent incontournables pour un voyage au Cap Vert. Aussi, j'aimerais éviter de prendre trop l'avion, idéalement arriver sur une île, prendre un avion pour aller au sud ou au nord, et repartir de la vers la France. D'ailleurs, pour aller à Fogo depuis Praia par exemple, il faut prendre le bateau ou l'avion?

Merci

Hello everyone.

Preamble:

Sooner or later, you’ve got to take the plunge! I thought lockdown would be the perfect time to start this travel journal, but between working from home and gardening, I just didn’t have the time (or the motivation). Plus, long-haul trips weren’t really on the cards back then... But then I stumbled upon my photos and thought, "I’ve got to share my latest adventure in Brazil—you guessed it!"

First, a little flashback: some of you (yes, really, in DMs!) pointed out the big gaps in my travel journals—India in 2019, Vietnam in 2018, so many missed opportunities!

Truth is, for India, I traveled with a private guide and honestly didn’t have much to add to the tons of well-documented journals already out there. Plus, I still haven’t decided if I love or hate India... So, how do you share your feelings when you’re not even sure yourself? As for Vietnam, I had plenty to say—even though the itinerary was pretty classic—but I’ll admit the vibe on this part of the forum at the time kinda put me off for a while... And time flies, and memories fade... Anyway, just wanted to clear that up for my (many or few) readers. *Tudo bem*, let’s get started!!

Faute de clients grâce au corona et avec des loyers pharamineux à payer, j'ai le grand regret de vous informer que les fameux restaurant Porte d'Annam et A la folie à Hanoi sont définitivement fermés. Les trois autres restaurants de Didier Corlou, Madame Hien et La Verticale à Hanoi et le Co Mai à Hoi An rouvrent le 1er juin

En ces temps de confinement, il devient assez difficile de voyager. Mais il nous reste encore cependant une façon de voyager : la table ! C'est pourquoi j'ai eu l'idée de cette nouvelle discussion. Vous qui avez voyagé, vous avez très certainement ramené de vos voyages des recettes qui vous ont plu et qu'il vous arrive de refaire chez vous, avec les moyens du bord, parce qu'elles ont ce petit goût inimitable de voyage. Amis internautes, je vous invite ici à nous faire partager vos meilleures recettes. A vos claviers !

Bonjour Nous souhaitons partir 15j debut septembre au Portugal. Que pensez vous de cet itinéraire qui reste à affiner. J1> Arrivée à Porto J2> Visite d eporto J3> Braga et Guimares avec nuit sur Porto J4> Averio et viseu> nuit à Viseu J5> Coimbra > Nuit à Coimbra J6> Fatima, Obidos, Péniche Nuit à Obidos J7/8/9 > Lisbonne et les environs J10 à J14 > Région de l'argarve. Lieu pour dormir à définir J15 > Départ .

Merci pour vos retour.

bonjour à tous.

Nous sommes partis le 30 octobre et rentrés le 14 décembre 2019, entre Chli et Argentine Je vais vous présenter le circuit et si vous avez des questions, je ferais au mieux pour vous aider. Nous sommes un couple de 65 et 64 ans Santiago (2 nuits) Valparaiso (2 nuits) - Nous avions prévu le trajet en bus, mais cela a été finalement en taxi. Tout était un peu compliqué avec les événements au Chili et en plus c'est aussi férié le 1er novembre. Zappalar (1 nuit) pas nécessaire de se rendre là-bas, mais avons été contraints de modifier notre circuit pour prendre le ferry à Punta Arenas pour nous rendre à Puerto Williams. Nous avions loué une voiture à Vina Del Mar pour nous rendre sur Zappalar et sommes revenus sur Santiago pour prendre l'avion pour Puerto Montt (Avons loué une voiture à l'aéroport de Puerto Montt que nous avons rendue à Punta Arenas.) De Puerto Mont, nous nous sommes rendus à Puerto Varas (1 nuit) Ensuite ferry pour nous rendre sur Chiloe (3 nuits) Retour Puerto Varas (1 nuit) Sommes partis ensuite vers l'Argentine pour faire la route des 7 lacs Villa Angostura (1 nuit) San Martin de Los Andes (2 nuits) San Carlos de Bariloche (1 nuit) Retour sur le Chili pour faire un peu de la route australe Futaleufu (2 nuits) Puyuhuapi (2 nuits) Coyhaique (1 nuit) Puerto Rio Tranquilo (2 nuits) Retour sur Argentine Los Antiguos (1 nuit) Estancia Santa Thelma (2 nuits) El Chaten (3 nuits) el Calafate (3 nuits) Retour au Chili Torres del Paine (2 nuits mais nous avons dormi à l'extérieur du parc) Puerto Natales (1 nuit) Punta Arenas (2 nuits) Avons ensuite pris le ferry pour nous rendre à Puerto Williams (le bout du monde) environ 32 heures de ferry et en plus 6h/ 8h de retard au départ) Puerto Williams (2 nuits) Ushuahia (1 nuit) Vol entre Ushuahia et Puerto Iguazu (2 nuits) pour voir les chutes. Il faut compter une journée pour celles côté Argentine et 1/2 journée pour celles côté Brésil. Vol pour Buenos Aires (1 nuit) Retour Paris

Nous avons eu une météo plutôt correcte pour cette période de l'année. Les cimes des montagnes sont encore enneigées et c'est très fleuri (lupins, genêts, et beaucoup d'arbres rouges), tout compte fait, une bonne période pour s'y rendre.

Au Chili comme en Argentine, les gens que nous avons rencontrés sont charmants, vous disent bonjour dans les villages, dans les rues.

Si je peux vous aider, n'hésitez pas

bons voyages à tous

bonjours à tous habituée à ko samui en thailande j'aimerai changer et trouver un hôtel à échelle humaine en bord de plage avec piscine au vietnam qui serait en mesure de me recommander quelque chose Trés important je souhaite qu'il y ai un village (superette, marché, restaurant) tout prés à pieds

merci d'avance

PUCON: Pour infos, villarrica plus sympa, plus cool, plus jolie. On viens à Pucon pour le volcan villarica( autours des 85000 pesos). Cest aussi un excellent endroit pour faire la fête. L'excursion " tour de la zona" pas terrible. 20000 ps par pers, 2 Cascades, 2 plages , une thermes, genre usine à touristes , décevant comme tour . Tres Facile à trouver une cabañas pour loger sans resa dans le centre , 55000 pesos/ jour .

VILLARRICA : Le Flor/Victoria est loin du centre , ne pas tenir compte de la position sur la carte de booking ou mapsme (complètement erroné). Plusieurs options en ville . Pour la visite des thermes géométriques mieux vaut le faire d'ici que depuis pucon car les vans passent par villarrica pour prendre les clients et les ramener . 37000ps /pers , le soir sympa . Le bord du lac est bien plus agréable ici que pucon .Les 2 villes sont facilement reliable en bus , toute les 10mn , 1000 pesos.

TEMUCO: Pas terrible comme ville, le marché près de la estation de train très sympa, tout en longueur et sûre de jour .Un bon restaurant près du marché qui a brûlé , "la comida municipal" , ouvert le dimanche . Sinon excellant centre commercial sur avenida alemana (portal temuco) accès en bus facile, restau tout le long de l'avenue . Alojamiento patagonia tres bien , près des bus JAC . 9h de voyage pour santiago , 18000 pesos.

SANTIAGO: Super chambre au" best western "près du terminal de bus. 38 euro par jour pour 2. Metro a coté et bus qui passent sur l'avenue, facile. Le" turist bus" à 2 étages chère, 30000 pesos/ pers. Autre option bien plus economique , en prenant le bus de ville , 700 pesos chaque voyage( se munir de la carte bip). Prendre le 407 qui va jusqu'à" los dominicos" , descendre au métro" Manquehue" , prendre l'avenue "Alonso de cordova" à pied, tres belle avenue , allez jusqu'au merveilleux" shopping Parque arauco" ( excellant food court). Ensuite marché jusqu'à l'avenue" vitacura " , environ 10mn , pour prendre le bus num 502 jusqu'au quartier" bellavista". Facile et très sympa comme itinéraire. On peu éventuellement s'arrête ou on veux , et attendre le bus suivant. Ces 2 bus fond à peu près le même itinéraire que le bus rouge touristique à 30000 pesos/ personne , et vous aurez un excellent aperçu des différents quartiers de santiago . Pour monter à la grande tour c'est 15000 pesos/pers , super point de vu sur tout santiago! vaut le détour ( vers 19h/20h pour le couché de soleil). Les sacs passent aux rayons X( objets tranchants interdit , même petit couteau suisse ). Enorme shopping center sur 6 étages. Quartier de lastarria et belles artes sympa ds l'après-midi. Un excellent restau dans barrio yungay , "peluqueria francesa" , superbe superbe!. Le "thai express" trop bon , petit là dedans mais alors tip top dans l'assiette ! entre 4000 et 5000 pesos , près cerro santa lucia, sur merced . Change euro sur Agustina ds le centre, angle avec paseo ahumada .Bus aéroport avec turbus du terminal, toute les 10mn, à peine 1900 pesos. Env 30mn de trajet. Si vous avez l'intention de poster des cartes postales faites le au chili , car en Argentine faudra payer 300 pesos le timbre!?!. Pratiquement tout les jours il y a des manifestations autours de la" plaza italia", ça commence en fin de journée, les bus sont alors obligés de contourner cette endroits, et la nuit mieux vaut circuler en métro, attention il ferme vers 22h30 .

3 jours avant notre départ, nous sommes passés à la compagnie "Latam "pour confirmer notre vol . Il a fallu le faire sur leurs ordinateurs à la disposition des clients. ( impossible de le faire en passant par un de leurs agents sur place) . Connection tres lente , une fois que nous avons choisis les sièges ( avec l'aide d'un agent Latam ) il a fallu attendre 2h avant de poursuivre, ( message reçu sur l'écran de l'ordinateur ). Plus tard , nous y sommes retournés sur l'application de la compagnie avec notre smartphone pour poursuivre , nous sommes arrivés sans difficultés à obtenir nos cartes d'embarquement de Santiago à porto allègre. En revanche il a fallu attendre encore une 2h avant de pouvoir poursuivre l'opération. 2h plus tard nous nous sommes connecté , nous avons pu enfin obtenir nos cartes d'embarquement pour le vol suivant( porto allègre/ sao paulo). OUFF!!! . Il a fallu , comme vous avez pu le constater, 3 connections espacées de 2h à chaque fois pour un check in complet....j'avais jamais vu ça. Ensuite le jour J, à l'aéroport, il a fallu imprimer notre étiquette pour le bagage en soute , là rien d'anormale n'est ce pas . Nous avions un gros sac à dos qu'il a fallu mettre dans un grand sachet en plastique pour ne pas que les sangles et bretelles ne se prennent dans le tapis roulant . Les sachets sont à votre disposition gratuitement . Cette aéroport est un peu chaotique en ce moment, il y a des travaux d'agrandissement ( ils en ont bien besoin). Il est conseillé d'arriver 3 à 4h avant pour les vols internationaux. Tres longue file pour le passage de l'immigration.
