The Alto da Sé in Olinda is a pleasant area to take in the vistas of neighboring Recife and the vast Atlantic. The two cities are minutes apart, yet they seem worlds away. While Recife is a sprawling metropolis, Olinda still retains colonial charm and a relaxed pace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ El Alto da Sé en Olinda es un lugar agradable para disfrutar vistas de la cercana Recife y la inmensidad del Atlántico. Las dos ciudades son a sólo minutos de distancia, pero se parecen mundos distintos. Recife es una metrópolis considerable y al contrario Olinda todavía tiene un encanto colonial con un ritmo relajado. • • • • • #GoChango #travel #olinda #recife #pernambuco #altodasé #brasil #travelphotography #instago #wanderlust #igerspernambuco #igersbrasil #instago #traveligers #ilovetravel #symmetrykillers #symmetricalmonsters #photooftheday
The train graveyard outside Uyuni is as much a symbol of the town’s origins as it is of it’s impossible location. A whistle stop town created in the late 19th century it is set in the most unlikely and harsh surroundings. For hours in all directions the lifeless scenery is a continuous loop of dunes, salt flats, rock formations and frozen wind blown desert. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ El cementerio de trenes en las afueras de Uyuni es un símbolo de las origines del pueblo tanto como su ubicación imposible. Un pueblo ferroviario creado en los fines del siglo 19, se encuentra en el terreno más severo e improbable. Por horas en cualquier dirección el paisaje inánime es una monotonía de dunas, salares, formaciones rocosas y desierto arrastrado por viento congelado. • • • • • #GoChango #travel #Uyuni #Bolivia #traveligers #traveldeeper #wanderlust #travelgram #travelphotography #blackandwhitephoto #explore #understand #experiencebolivia #visitbolivia #exploreuyuni #salar_de_uyuni #igersbolivia #boliviagram
Art is infectious. That was the case with Pasaje Lanín, a common residential passageway in Buenos Aires. At least until a resident artist began to cover the façade of his home with beautiful mosaic work. The neighbors loved it and asked him to do the same to their homes, this is the result. —�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�—�— El arte es infeccioso. Eso fue el caso con el Pasaje Lanín, una callecita común y corriente en Buenos Aires. Hasta que algún día el artista residente empezó de colocar mosaicos llamativos en la fachada de su casa. A los vecinos les encantó y ellos le pidieron que se interviniera a sus casa también, eso es el resultado. #GoChango #travel #barracas #BuenosAires #marinosantamaria #mosaic #communityart #urbanart #alternative #streetart #colors #yarnbombing
The smell of eucalyptus permeates throughout the mountainside barrio of Bellavista in Quito. The name means “beautiful view” because of its many panoramic lookouts. While searching for such a view, I found this rather unsuspected perspective. ———————————�— El olor de eucalipto impregna el aire en el barrio de Bellavista en Quito. A la ladera de la montaña, la zona es privilegiada con vistas hermosas.

Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, is home to a strange urban phenomenon. In the city center is Iguana Park, home to a huge iguana population. These prehistoric creatures continuously waddle across footpaths, drink from ponds, soak up the sun and occasionally compete with pigeons for food. Locals kids feed the iguanas pieces of mango and pet them as if they were oddly shaped lap dogs. On the ground dozens of iguanas passersby can be observed, but when you look up in the trees you start to truly understand the mass of the reptilian populace, the branches are teeming with life, numbering in the hundreds or possibly thousands! 🦎 🇪🇨 🗺 . . . . . #guayaquil #Ecuador #GoChango #travel #traveligers #traveldeeper #travelgram #instago #ilovetravel #wanderlust #instagood #travelphotography #panoramic #traveldiary #wildlifephotographer #urbansafari #igers @lonelyplanet @natgeoyourshot @ecuadortravel @ig_guayaquil @vive.america @conoce.ecuador @bucketlistec

The Farol de Barra lighthouse marks the point that separates the Bay of All Saints from the Atlantic Ocean. The beacon is one of the oldest in the Americas, it was once powered by kerosene. Today the nearest beach is filled with Brazilians doing one of the things their culture does best, embracing the sea! 🇧🇷. . . . . . #Salvador #Bahia #Brasil #GoChango #travel #traveligers #traveldeeper #travelgram #instago #ilovetravel #wanderlust #instagood #travelphotography #igers #igerssalvador @instagrambrasil @iger @topsalvadorphoto @igerssalvador_oficial @natgeoyourshot @bbctravel @guardiantravelsnaps

Street art in Monserrat, Buenos Aires. The work painted by @gerada_studio is of David, an impoverished child who once lived in the streets. The artist painted his image to raise awareness of a local school for at risk youth which was in danger of being destroyed. . . . . #streetart #buenosaires #GoChango #travel #travelwriter #travelgram #travelphotography #worldshotz #mytravelgram #travelpics #urbanart #culture #understand @ig_buenosaires @buenosairestourist @buenosairescity @bairespeaton @ig.argentina @turistaenbuenosaires

Uruguay’s oldest city, Colonia del Sacramento, was founded by the Portuguese in 1680. Through successive warring, Spanish and Portuguese colonial militaries traded turns controlling the city until Uruguay gained independence in 1828. The small colonial center still preserves the charm of antiquity with narrow cobblestone streets and antique cars engulfed by local vegetation. 🇺🇾 . . . . . #Colonia #Uruguay #GoChango #travel #travelers #traveldeeper #travelwriter #travelgram #instago #ilovetravel #wanderlust #postcardsfromtheworld #instatraveling #instagood #travelphotography #worldshotz #mytravelgram #travelpics #history #culture #understand @descubre_uruguay @uruguay @igersuy @coloniadelsacramentouy

La Boca is the immigrant barrio in Buenos Aires where millions of immigrants arrived around the turn of the 20th century. In the heart of the area there is a diminutive plaza with a boat’s mast rising from the center. This largely overlooked corner is called the Plaza of the Whispers, where immigrants would come to await incoming ships, hoping to receive news and correspondence from the old country. . . . . . #LaBoca #BuenosAires #Argentina #GoChango #travel #travelers #traveldeeper #travelwriter #travelgram #instago #ilovetravel #wanderlust #instatraveling #instagood #travelphotography #worldshotz #igers #understand #culture @buenosairescity @igersbsas @ig_buenosaires

At over 3,800 meters, even a short hike to the top Mount Calvario in Copacabana will leave you short of breath. Fortunately the reward for the effort is something breathtaking in another sense.
