Qatar, en la otra orilla
Posted on 17. Apr, 2010 by Max.
Un país de contrastes sin duda, aunque sería poco decir. Mucha riqueza acumulada pero también es posible ver mucha pobreza y marginalidad, y es que claro, siempre alguien tiene que trabajar para los otros. Pero los Qataríes resultaron ser muy amables y simpáticos. La mezcla con la cantidad de indios y nepalíes o egipcios es [...]

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 [...]

Scotland, a year in my heart
Posted on 12. Dec, 2009 by Max.
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 [...]

It is never too late to visit and explore the places around the corner. Patagonia is not that far nor that close, but near enough to take a short flight and to find yourself in one of the most spectacular sites of this world. Glaciers and mountains, all in super size proportions; a place where [...]

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, [...]
