City Visits

That buzzing city life. The multifarious crowd wrapping you up in tongues and colours. Wandering the streets, feeling lost and found at the same time. That’s what happens on city visits abroad.

The best way to get a feeling for a city is to walk. City walks will give you time to observe, learn and enjoy. See the street art, taste the food, talk to the people. Although city tours can give a lot of interesting information, we prefer following our own feet.

Don’t stick to the usual parts: the historic centre, with its stunning architecture; or the tourist quarter, full of buzz and neon lights. We advise you to explore different town areas. That is where people live and love. All kinds of people, all kinds of lives, all kinds of love.

In our city guides, we try the best we can to transmit the personal impression we had of each place. The ones we fell in love with and those we found meh. It’s our honest opinion based on our first-hand experience. We write about the good, the bad and the ugly of towns and cities.

―

We give a certain feeling, but also practical information.

Whether it’s a big, famous city, a small town with its colonial charm, or an unsuspected destination, we’ll tell you what we discovered, where, when, how and sometimes why.

But in reality, Puerto Natales is a safe small town, whose slow pace and local charm are resourcing, and somewhat fascinating. I’m happy I spent 3 days following the gentle flow of the town, surrounded by fjords and mountains.

🇨🇴 Pasto, the Well-Kept Secret of Colombia
