|  | Venezuela first astonished me with the incredibly awe-inspiring region of La Gran Sabana in the south, with numerous waterfalls, now-you-see-it-now-you-don't table-mountains ('tepuys') and rolling green savannah. This is where the story of 'The Lost World' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born. It is not hard to imagine why. The place is truly hypnotic, an energy centre. I have been to many magical places in South America and believe me, this is indeed one of the most memorable ones.
After Caracas, I escaped from the amorous leers of the locals of the Caribbean turquoise-coast to the start of the Andean mountain range in Merida where I took the highest cable car system in the world to Pico Espejo at 4700+m.
Special thanks to Rafael and Rosa for hosting me and explaining the complicated political system of Venezuela to me and to Denis, Bas, Paloma for sharing the lovely Los Nevados trip with me. |

I made an impromptu return back to South America, starting with my gorgeous second city - Buenos Aires.
I meandered up the coast of Brazil, headed upriver into the Amazon before bursting out to Venezuela for some Caribbean sun.
Then, I crossed to Colombia, meeting amazingly friendly people and headed south through Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, encountering wonderful indigneous cultures and stunning landscapes.
A short hop to Chile to visit some old friends and then, back to Buenos Aires to spend Christmas and New Year.
