Public transport in the center of La Paz, Bolivia. The co drivers are calling out the destinations of the minibuses.

New years eve in Cuzco, Peru. People are traditionally walking around the central square in the old town. They do it for good luck.

Machu Picchu, Peru. The ancient Inka fortress near Cuzco is one of the major tourist magnets on the whole continent.

The road from Abancay to Huancavelica was hard work. We've been dreaming of a bitumen road.

In Pucallpa we reached the end of the road. The boats to Iquitos down the Rio Ucayali are leaving there.

From Iquitos we started exploring the jungle of Peru. Our guide managed to navigate us safely across the rain forest in a canoe.

Going on a boat along the Amazonas in Brazil was good fun. In Peru this was quite a bit more challenging.

Slow monkeys are really fascinating to me. Stay calm!

The Gran Sabana in Venezela is a paradise for swimming. What is nicer than to refresh under a gorgeous waterfall?

On the way across Venezuela we couldn't always cycle without worries. There's not much about security in this country.

If you want to enjoy the beaches in Venezuela you eather have to go to a crowded place or to a place, where no-one can go.

The animal life in the tropics is just exciting. This little fellow here likes Mangos.

The ocean is the main attraction on Curacao. The Island of the Netherlands Antilles lives from tourists who come for swimming.

Especially on the north coast you better watch the ocean with distance. You wouldn't come out here unhurt.
