Gieke, el reino del hielo
Posted on 17. Apr, 2010 by Max.
Alguien me dijo que era uno de los lugares mas hermosos de la zona de las Torres del Paine, pero que no estaba dentro de ese parque u otro y que de hecho está entre el Parque Nacional Torres del Paine y Ohiggins. Es un verdadero reino del hielo, como lo bautizó una buena amiga. [...]

Madidi, el lugar con mayor biodiversidad del mundo
Posted on 10. Mar, 2010 by Max.
No pensé que el primer viaje en el albor del amazonas ecuatoriano me llevaría a esta interminable casi, desesperada y sin duda necesaria estadía anual entre sus verdores. El guía, de apellido Veloz, me dice que es mejor no tocar las ramas que, dado que no hay sendero, son imposibles de no mover para avanzar. [...]

Canaima, the lost paradise
Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by Max.
Estimados, creo que dado el público, he decidido cambiar a castellano como idioma de la página.
Canaima es una de las formaciones más antiguas del planeta, mesetas de miles de años, llamadas tepuys se alzan incluso sobre los 200 metros de altura en medio de la selva. Su mayor parte se encuentra en Venezuela y está [...]

Islands are always in my life… but Scotland is in my heart, the music of bagpipes crossing hills and castles, smiling people and good beer, what else would anybody need?? From the highlands to the old cities, Edinburgh in particular, puffins and lakes all in one show… have a wee look mate!

Habana, people on the streets
Posted on 27. Nov, 2009 by Max.
Habana, once a city of kings, today mostly in ruins, but definitely, an amazing and splendorous city, not just for its architecture, but also for its people. Lets take a walk in the city; this is our century of lights, our paradise of the images and of the gentle people of the Cuban kings’ capital.

Cienaga de Zapata, Cuban treasure
Posted on 22. Nov, 2009 by Max.
Islands are always fascinating; nature and people are all very particular. I found amazing to live in the middle of the sea, to be capable to make a life in an isolated place, maybe because Chileans are a bit of islanders too.
Cuba is a huge surprise, this time you will be able to see pictures [...]

Ecuador, my first time out of the country
Posted on 07. Sep, 2009 by Max.
Ecuador was the place I decided to travel on my very first trip outside the country. Enchanting and beautiful place. I wasn’t so young but since I was there, I believe it was the first soundest experience I have ever had. We travelled from Chile by bus, crossing the north of both Chile and Peru, [...]

San Pedro de Atacama, the desert never was so alive
Posted on 31. Aug, 2009 by Max.
For many years I left things for the next day. San Pedro de Atacama was one of them. This desert is probably one of the most visited areas in Chile, however, I never had the time or maybe found the moment to go see it. After being there, I can certainly say that any excuse [...]

In the southern coast of the Buenos Aires Province, there is a river called Samborombon. This river forms an incredible wetland, which is crucial for the whole marine and estuarine ecosystem. This is a place where endemic dolphins, deers, and other animals and fauna live and build its homes in land and water. Moreover, the [...]

Guayaquil, Salinas and Anconcito
Posted on 31. Aug, 2009 by Max.
This is the area where the Humboldt Current ends, a place dominated by the influence of the Guayas’ River. Good food, nice people, beautiful places… as always in Ecuador. Have a look to one of the most important artisanal coves for fishermen of the country Anconcito, struggling with the poverty but always with a good [...]
