Hiya! I'm Sammy and this is my travelogue. Wait, what is a travelogue? // Trav·e·logue ˈtravəˌlôɡ' /noun/ a movie, book, or illustrated lecture about the places visited and experiences encountered by a traveler // Cool now we both know! I'm an Enlgish Teacher and general travel dork who's a little too obsessed with learning Spanish via reggaeton, Narcos and kids movies on Netflix right now... Current location: Lima, Peru

Therrrre it is! Hello Machu Picchu! We were thiiiiis close to not getting to see you! Fun fact: because so many millions of people are visiting this incredible wonder of the world, it’s actually sinking at a rate of 1cm per year. New restrictions mean that you can enter at an allocated time - either the morning or the afternoon, and it could get stricter still in the future #machupicchu #thisisperu #ancientcity #lostcivilization #incas #history #howdidtheybuildit #ancients #genious #travel #explore #learn #cometoperu (at Machupicchu, Cusco, Peru)

This bridge is one of 22 of the Interoceanic Highway and goes all the way to BRAZIL! 🌊⛰🏔🌿🌲🌎🌴🌳🌿🌊 It can be reached from the Pacific Coast via the curvy trails that traverse the Andes to Cusco, and down into the jungle. I travelled on it into Puerto Maldonaldo where it crosses the confluence of the Madre De Dios and Tambopata rivers, which feed the famous Amazon River. Then it follows the Amazonian border of Bolivia before crossing into Brasil. Thousands of miles deep inside the worlds largest rainforest and some smaller existing roads later and it comes out on the Atlantic coast. This incredible road was opened in 2011, is over 2600 miles long and employed over 6000 people to build it. But concerns about this road are its impact on forest exploitation and deforestation, drug trafficking and the effect on the indigenous rainforest communities who were previously uncontacted #amazonrainforest #infrastructure #suspensionbridge #engineering #travel #travelgeek #roadnerd #overland #transport #riomadrededios #riotambopata #laselva #ourplanet #change #development #debate #tropicalregion #life #samba #southamerica #huffposttravel #peru #puertomaldonaldo #natgrotravel #bbctravel (at Puerto Maldonado , Peruvian Amazonian Region)

Encontré las GUACAMAYAS!!!!!!!!!! There were more than 60 and there were Scarlet Macaws, Red and Green Macaws, Yellow and Blue Macaws and Chestnut Fronted Macaws, at the clay lick where they gather and come for breakfast, as featured on tv by David Attenborough and the BBC. When Costa Rica nearly lost its entire population of Macaws, the research centre here sent eggs to restart the population, and now Costa Rica is known for a place to see Macaws. But really it’s here - The Tambopata National Reserve in the Madre De Dios region of the Amazon Rainforest, names the most biodiverse place surviving on the planet 🌎 #amazonas #madrededios #guacamayas #macaws #parrotlove #tambopata #amazonrainforest #claylick #birdwatching #birdnerd #parrotsofinstagram #scarletmacaws #inthewild #animalesalvajes #lovenature #traveltuesday #myfavouriteanimal #dreamcometrue (at Tambopata National Reserve)

🌎 So all of these photos I’ve put on insta recently have come from the south of Bolivia, whilst on a 4x4 tour starting from a small town called Uyuni. Tourism is the main income here now and the people here are very good at it! Maybe you can tell.... i LOVED my time here! These photos of the sunset on the salt flats were taken by Alfio, a brilliant driver and fantastic tour guide. So if you’re inspired to visit here too, let me put you in touch! Vamos a Salar De Uyuni! #Bolivia #salardeuyuni #travel #southamerica #4x4 #adventure #activetravel #sunset #atardecer🌅 #travelgram no they didn’t pay me to say this! I just loved it a lot lot lot!!! (at Salar De Uyuni - Bolivia)
