Lisbon is one of my favorite cities in the world – I like it as Corto Maltese likes
Venice, i.e., to the point of wanting to stay there longer and stop being a
vagabond. The Belem Tower is one of the major ex-libris of Lisbon – supposedly the
ancient Olissipo, founded by the...

I was in Bordeaux a couple of times, my visits being mostly related to the aerospace
companies and activities that are so abundant in this city - built on the margins of the
Garonne River. Bordeaux is UNESCO World Heritage due to its amazing urban and
architecture ensemble. Indeed...

A good couple of hours north of the Strait of Magellan, driving from Punta Arenas the
asphalted road ends a bit after the city of Puerto Natales. From there on expect lonely
dusty roads and amazing views of the snowy peaks and glacial lakes of the Natural Park of
Torres del Paine –...

Galicia is one of my favorite regions in Spain. It is always green due to the Atlantic
proximity and rain – and the landscapes that mix the typical small Galician rivers
(called Rias) and the ocean coast are unique in the world. Fishing activities mark many
cities in Galicia, from...

Monument Valley is one of my favorite places in the United States – the landscape is
quite inspiring there and lonely at the same time. So before hitting the road I
recharged batteries at the Holiday Inn Monument Valley – a nice hotel located in
Kayenta, the main gate to Monument...

When the Ottoman Army invaded Greece and stayed for a few centuries, at some point monks
found refuge in the rocky cliff mountains of Meteora. These very inaccessible areas thus
provided them shelter to keep their faith going on – at the same time making such a
beautiful ensemble of...

After building an igloo staying outside is not an option for many hours, so you better go
inside the base. This is called Neumayer, after the German polar explorer of last century,
and stays 5 floors bellow the ice – a unique characteristic for Antarctica bases.

Among the many amazing museums that New York offers, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one
of my favorites. In particular the collection about arms and armors deserves a detailed
visit. It features amazing chain mails and alike from the Islamic world to Japanese
Samurais, from...

As the base stays bellow the surface, the air is collected at these outside
“breathers”, distributed strategically above the hundred meters long corridors. They
give even more a look of science-fiction like scenario to the place. The
Portuguese-Mozambican writer Mia Couto once...

When the Spanish explorer Juan de Grijalva arrived to Tulum in 1518 he was marveled with
the red and blue colors of the city walls. Today the colors are not present anymore but
the ruins are still worth a visit, especially the main fort that also had temple
functions. Tulum means...

Once in Teotihuacán it may be difficult to find a place to sleep since many buses with
tourists fill all the nearby hotels and Inns. The Hotel Quinto Sol (Fifth Sun – like
in the mythology of the Aztecs) is one of the largest and nice ones to consider, but if
finding it full don’t...

So this wraps up the major steps of this voyage – I will enter in details in the next

enjoy the white sandy, warm water amazing beaches…wouuu some of the best I ever been in
my life…together with...

Just at the edge of the medieval part of Innsbruck you will find the Hofkirche, the
Imperial Church of the Austrian Court. Before entering the church itself, there is a
nice patio and garden – and remember to keep the ticket since it is valid for 1
year. Once inside, the...

Many people will tell you wonders about Cancun – hordes of students migrate there at one
time or another. You can read all the good things about Cancun elsewhere – it certainly
has a nice coastline and great beaches. I am not so much the person that likes huge
hotels just in front...

As if it was not enough to have such a majestic Holy Roman Empire’s time sarcophagus and
a golden roof, Innsbruck still has a cathedral. If a city has a bishop – then it needs
to have a cathedral, what can you do! This is a tall impressive building – with a
rich inside baroque...

Personally I found Playa del Carmen less messy and over-sold for tourists - a cool place,
with equally great beaches, when compared to Cancun. There are great non crowded (in
September) bars along the streets near the beach line – great music and one does not
feel smashed by hotel...

The good thing about places with many tourists is that it makes it easy flights wise. In
that sense the Cancun Airport is quite a good one with many regular flights to the USA,
Europe, México and Central America. There are regional airports in Villahermosa and
Tikal if you don’t...

When I visited Hamburg in last July, I had of course to tour the sexy and “red light”
district of St. Pauli. What caught my attention at distance though was the monument to
Bismarck – which I could clearly see above the trees’ canopies in the Elb
Park. Otto von Bismarck was the...

Right on border with the Austrian Tirol, the Zugspitze is the tallest mountain in Germany,
reaching 2962 meters. When days are really clear it is said you can see 4 countries: thus
Italy and Switzerland too. Most probably though you should check the weather before
planning a trip up...

The Navy Museum in Lisbon is located in the noble part of the city – occupying the left
wing of the (World Heritage) Jeronimos’ Monastery. Just entering a part of the Monastery
per se is already wonderful – with all the arc-ceilings architecture. The museum is
dedicated in a...
