| Sometimes we had such a lot of pictures of
a special event or an area, that we decided to open a separate
photo-book. Just enjoy! |
Canada
|
 |
We had to wait quite
a while in Alberta, Canada to see this event - but it was worth it!
Very different to the southamerican rodeos it has it´s own
charming adrenaline!

Bolivia
|
|
|
When we visited Bolivia the
second time in 2010, we were very lucky to realize, that there was a
great fiesta planned for the weekend in Potosi. Countless were the
dancers and the performed dances: Suri Sikuri, Kullawada, Carnaval
Betanceño und Tinku, Huayño, Morenada, Carnaval
Vallegrandino, Pujllay, Llamerada, Tobas, Cueca, Los Macheteros,
Taquirari, Chacarera, Waca Waca und Caproales.
Especially
the Diablada was interesting for us - a famous dance in the Karneval of
Oruro and a cultural World Heritage.
Have a look at
all those wonderful performers!
|
Chile
|
 |
Unique
in the world is the flowering desert in Chile. Only when there was
enough rainfall throughout the whole winter, there is a chance to see
the blooming wonder. This happens only in an interval of 3 to 5 years -
and we were so lucky to see this happening!
175
pictures are waiting for you!
|
 |
A small village with
less than 100 habitants hosts once a year over 10.000 visitors. On the
7th and 8th of September the Virgin Guadalupe de Ayquina celebrates her
birthday annually. In devotion to the virgin hundreds of dancers from
Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru show their costumes.
That´s
why we decided to offer a little special of this event!
|
 |
A special type of trees, a wonderful landscape ans some mystical shots
obliged us to make this little special. Around hundred impressions from
southern Chile.
We´ve been there in autumn - therefore the trees showed all their colours. |
Argentina
|
 |
The colours were so rich in
variety that we decided to make a special!
For
the red leaves lovers.
|
 |
It´s
a little bit difficult to publish photos from a travelled route when
you have been in the area before. Therefore we were a little lazy in
updating our website. Then we had an idea: Why don´t we add
different impressions from Santa Cruz, Argentina
together? Enjoy the result! |
 |
Argentina, showing
the next province further North in Patagonia: Chubut. A
huge area, offering deserts, lakes, plains and mountains. And a lot of
warmhearted people! We devided our photoset into three parts:
|
 |
Not
very typical - but a different approach for us are some pictures we
made at the Mouras raceground in La Plata, Argentina. Serious private
teams aiming at the first place. |
 |
In this year we spent a lot of time in the province of Chubut, which is
three times larger than all of our home-country. From the East to the
West - images we enjoyed. |
 |
At the eastern end of Chubut you can find a natural protected area with
a lot of wildlife and astonishing landscapes. A real paradise. |
 |
North of Chubut you will find the province of Rio Negro - some impressions to explore.... |
Tierra del Fuego
|
|
|
We did not want to seperate
this incredible beautiful island into two countries, although Argentina
and Chile are sharing it. Both nations own wonderful landscapes and
unforgetable impressions. It is unique.
It is the
southern end of the world, as there is no other possibility for an
ordinary traveller to go further south by car. It is also the point of
return for us. Several books about the land of fire accompanied us and
made history vital.
|
|
Tierra del Fuego 2012/2013
We
came back to the island and stayed for another two months, visiting
parts we´ve seen before, discovering new parts and making new
friends.
It´s not possible to describe it
with words - therefore we offer you four new
picture galleries!

Jineteadas

Rodeos

Our passion for rodeos /
jineteadas is growing - we made it to another!

During our time in Southamerica we got into the fiestas,
especially the so called Jineteadas. Traditional folkloric events - in
the northern americas called a rodeo. It´s a different type
of exposing your body to extreme danger...

Animals
|
 |
We were so fascinated by
these wonderful creatures, the largest flying birds on our planet that
we could collect some nice impressions.
Gentle,
easy, nearly soundless they are gliding through the wonderful landscape
of the Andes. Come on and fly with them!
|
 |
For us it is one of
the most unique spots in the world - the Peninsula Valdez. Walking on
the coast to watch whales passing by a few meters away - incredible.
That´s why we come back again and again.
Next
to Valdez is Punto Ninfas - where the southern elephant seals found
their home. Enjoy the animals!
|
 |
One
of our themes beside the jineteada (rodeo in argentina) are animals,
therefore we have put a special animal slideshow
together. Mostly south-southamerican wild- and waterlife! |
