We were in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica during February last year. It was hot, humid and wild! Corcovado claims to be one of the most biodiverse places on earth. That claim isn’t surprising considering how you are surrounded by life everywhere! During our jungle trek we ended up ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/all-the-way-up/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/are-we-in-tomb-raider/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=are-we-in-tomb-raider https://bkpk.me/are-we-in-tomb-raider/#comments Fri, 11 Oct 2013 12:39:05 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=9764
Looks like Zara Croft is at it again. This time we ended up on an adventure inside the beautiful Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia. The temple that lies in ruins in front of us is called Ta Prohm. Over the centuries, massive tropical trees have dug their roots through sheer ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/are-we-in-tomb-raider/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/a-window-in-the-jungle/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-window-in-the-jungle https://bkpk.me/a-window-in-the-jungle/#comments Wed, 06 Feb 2013 09:55:42 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6036
We never thought there would be cement buildings in the middle of the Amazon. That is certainly not the romanticized image of the jungle one gets from photos and movies. But when we actually went into the wild in Peru, we discovered that the Amazon is more than dense vegetation, tribes and exotic ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/a-window-in-the-jungle/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/into-the-wild-our-amazon-trip-part-12/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=into-the-wild-our-amazon-trip-part-12 https://bkpk.me/into-the-wild-our-amazon-trip-part-12/#comments Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:11:53 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=6375
The beauty of traveling in Peru is that, within the same country, there are such diverse areas as the coast, the highlands (Andes) and the jungle (Amazon). Until last year, whenever I’d think of the Amazon, I’d immediately picture a region within Brazil. Although it is true that the vast ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/into-the-wild-our-amazon-trip-part-12/feed/ 8 https://bkpk.me/amazonian-girl/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=amazonian-girl https://bkpk.me/amazonian-girl/#comments Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:33:14 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=4236
She lives in a village in the middle of the Amazonian jungle, in Peru. Her hometown has 94 people and it’s strangely called “Centro America”. The people of Centro America live with a sense of community rare in the world now-a-days: Centro-americans have their own plantations, but everybody helps their ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/amazonian-girl/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/the-amazonian-butterfly/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-amazonian-butterfly https://bkpk.me/the-amazonian-butterfly/#comments Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:59:35 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=2074
The biodiversity in the Amazon will leave you spellbound! Here’s a beautiful butterfly with an extremely intricate design on it’s wings. Nature is so wonderful in the way it colors it’s creatures. Walking through the amazon, you’ll be subjected to a cocktail of colors, smells, and experiences. Lush green trees, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-amazonian-butterfly/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/1-day-at-el-pachan-chiapas/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=1-day-at-el-pachan-chiapas https://bkpk.me/1-day-at-el-pachan-chiapas/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:03:19 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=787
Before heading to Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico, we read that this was a “backpackers paradise”. Apparently, there was a big concentration of budget travelers around here. I was sure the historical ruins of Palenque wouldn’t be the only reason why backpackers were concentrating around these area… there are so many ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/1-day-at-el-pachan-chiapas/feed/ 3
