[Trip Report] Snow Wonderland – Georgia (Part 1)

I’ve already shared some odd pictures about Georgia. Today I’d like to share the whole trip with you. I went there in the beginning of this year. I’m so happy I discovered this amazing Caucasus country. Georgia is somehow not that popular among the non-Russian speaking travelers. I was asked by friends why I came up with ideas to visit Georgia. Here are a few reasons why I chose it.

Trekking in Tuni Condoriri, the Cordillera Real of Bolivia

Bolivia is an untouched natural paradise. The alpine scenery, the jungle, the salt flats, etc. Bolivia’s stunning nature and unique folklore culture make it one of the most visited country among backpackers. Major cities are generally crammed full of backpackers who come for a cheaper stay than elsewhere in South America.

I loved Bolivia, it’s probably among my favorite countries so far. Yet whether it’s a easy to travel around or not is debatable from an independent traveler’s perspective. There are many reasonable trekking opportunities. When I checked the trekking spots around La Paz, I’ve found loads of them and also found many day or 2-day tours to go there.

Not a big fan of any tour, Bolivian ‘tour mentality’ annoyed me a bit, from Uyuni Salt Flats to the Alpine lakes in the South. Tours, tours, tours.

I didn’t find much information regarding how to get there by yourself so today I’d like to share with you dear Steemit friends my trekking experience in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia.

Valle de Cocora, Colombia’s Coffee Zone

Been to many areas in Colombia, I believe Cocora Valley is the best place in the whole country of Colombia, despite the fact that coffee zone is becoming more and more touristy. Still you can easily spot the tranquillity there.

To go to the valley, the best base is the town of Salento. You’d better get up early, catch one of those early tuktuk at the central square, tuktuk can get quite full, sometimes you will have to stand at the back of the car, kinda fun though. Trail can be easily done in the morning.
