One of the highlights of our drive down Highway 101 was a detour that we took through Redwood National Park in California. On our way down from Florence to Eureka, we ended up stopping many times to take pictures with these massive giants! The California redwoods are so old and ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/a-500-year-old-tree/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/all-the-way-up/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=all-the-way-up https://bkpk.me/all-the-way-up/#comments Tue, 12 Nov 2013 05:36:31 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=10129
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!

Yosemite is one of the most visited National Parks in the US‘s West side. Half Dome, a huge granite dome with an almost vertical face, is one of the highlights of any visit to this park.

Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, is one of the most geothermically active regions on Earth. The park stands in what was once upon a time a massive volcano, so no wonder it is home to thousands of hot springs, geysers, mud pots and fumaroles. Science aside, and from an aesthetical ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/yellowstones-hot-springs/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/floating-over-the-arizona-desert-with-rainbow-ryders/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=floating-over-the-arizona-desert-with-rainbow-ryders https://bkpk.me/floating-over-the-arizona-desert-with-rainbow-ryders/#comments Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:08:02 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=8370
It was an early start for us, the day that we got up to go ride a balloon in Phoenix, thanks to Rainbow Ryders. When we left our hostel, it was still dark and for once, the temperature outside was actually pleasant!

As one of the most famous attractions in Arizona and the whole of the USA, Grand Canyon is indeed quite impressive. Quite often, people think that the Grand Canyon is the biggest canyon in the world.

Our trip to the Grand Canyon was surprising! We spent a few days at Flagstaff, a beautiful little city in the Coconino county up in the Colorado Plateau. We were amazed on our drive from Las Vegas to Flagstaff because the scenery changes so much!

If our first day in the Amazon was exciting, the remaining time we enjoyed there wasn’t any less!

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/algarve-what-lies-beyond-the-beach/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=algarve-what-lies-beyond-the-beach https://bkpk.me/algarve-what-lies-beyond-the-beach/#comments Mon, 21 May 2012 13:58:32 +0000 Nuno Veloso http://bkpk.me/?p=2415
Here I am, at the Ria Formosa Natural Park, in the Algarve region, Southern Portugal. Algarve is well known across Europe as a place of sandy beaches, sun and party, but there’s also another side of it, and this Natural Park is on that ‘other side’ Since it’s a bit ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/algarve-what-lies-beyond-the-beach/feed/ 8 https://bkpk.me/10-reasons-that-make-costa-rica-a-great-place-to-live-in/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=10-reasons-that-make-costa-rica-a-great-place-to-live-in https://bkpk.me/10-reasons-that-make-costa-rica-a-great-place-to-live-in/#comments Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:06:01 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=932
Translate this country’s name, “Rich Coast”, and you get an idea of all the possibilities that this land has to offer.

Standing lonely and tall at the edge, petrified like the waterfall it overlooks. It’s freezing, but the water is warm and welcoming. Bubbling up from the heart of the mountain – these hot springs at Hierve el Agua in Oaxaca, look like an infinity pool. Impressive!]]> https://bkpk.me/its-lonely-at-the-edge/feed/ 1
