Rumble in the jungle

#xx_lostcity05/03/2015 I just got back from the Lost City trek in Colombia and it has been pretty eventful! I won’t have the time to get another Nicaragua Live Update out now, but hope you will be entertained with this small video in the meanwhile. Fingers crossed that the guy made it to the hospital in time. We actually killed a poisonous snake on our way back as well, this place seems to be fully of them!

Live #41, León & Volcan Telica, Nicaragua

#61_nicaragua_telica01/03/2015 I’m about to start a five day trek through the jungle to the Lost City in Colombia and thanks to my tour operator Turcol, I can give you a quick update with their Wifi before I head off into no-wifi-land once more. León in Nicaragua is a beautiful city, but after having seen so many beautiful cities, I could not wait to get out again and hike Volcan Telica, which eventually became one of my personal highlights in Nicaragua! Check out this post to see why.

Live #40, Estelí, Nicaragua

#48_nicaragua_esteli_albert_stone_man1

24/02/2015 Getting to Santa Marta here in Colombia took a bit longer than expected, including getting thrown out of the car in the middle of the highway in Barranquilla. Luckily another car actually came to pick us up again for the rest of the journey, without charging us twice 🙂 This live update is about 75 year old Alberto Gutierrez, who I have met in the Tisey Estanzuela Natural Reserve back in January. His stone carvings up in the hills are nothing short of amazing.

Live #39, Somoto, Nicaragua

#60_nicaragua_somoto22/02/2015 Sitting in an air conditioned dorm full of snoring guys in Cartagena, I can now finally use some fast internet again to update my blog! This is actually the very fist update from Nicaragua and my first stop was the town of Somoto, close to the border. The Somoto Canyon is one of the least explored tourist attractions of Nicaragua, so check this post out to see how my non guided tour turned out 🙂

Live #38, Tegucigalpa & Santa Lucia, Honduras

#59_honduras_tegucigalpa19/02/2015 I just came back from four amazing days cruising through the San Blas Islands and am really happy to get all the salt and sand off my body now! This last update from Honduras is probably my smallest ever, covering the capital and close by Santa Lucia.

Live #37, PANACAM, Honduras

#58_honduras_panacam16/02/2015 After coming back from the carnival in Pedasí, I had a great last night in Panama City yesterday thanks to the company of amazing people. It is 4AM in the morning now and I will be heading towards Carti shortly to start the four day cruise through the San Blas Islands, eventually getting me to Sapzurro in Colombia. Thankfully the next update is a short one, featuring PANACAM Lake Yojoa in Honduras.

Live #36, Lake Yojoa, Honduras

#57_honduras_lakeyoyoa13/02/2015 Panama City has been a pleasant surprise so far after checking out Casco Viejo, the Miraflores locks and Amador Causeway, all of which I can only recommend! Today marks the beginning of the carnival season here in Panama and I will head town to the Las Tablas area to celebrate it. This update features Lake Yojoa in Honduras. I still can’t pronounce the name correctly, but can certainly summarize that I had a great time exploring the area without a guide.

Live #35, Utila, Honduras

#56_honduras_utila09/02/2015 I just came back from the Cangilones de Gualaca, close to David in Panama, and am so happy to finally use my climbing shoes again! You should check out that place, it’s a mini canyon just perfect for deep water bouldering. This update has a relation to water as well, featuring Utila and my PADI Open Water Course there. I even saw a little shipwreck on the second fun dive, pretty cool 🙂
