If you’ve been following along with my South American journey and blog posts so far, you’ll know that I had survived an epic 48 hour journey through Paraguay and was now enroute to Rio in time for Carnival! Iguazu Falls Iguazu is incredible! We stayed in a little town called Foz do Iguazu in a…

Bolivia
People often ask the question “What was your favourite country you visited when you were travelling?” My answer is always “Definitely Bolivia!” We spent a month exploring Bolivia, and the diversity of the country was incredible! From the Amazon jungle to the Salt Flats, to the altitude of La Paz, the highest City in the…
Peru
I spent a month in Peru back in December 2014. We started our Peruvian adventure by flying to Lima the capital of Peru, from Quito the capital of Ecuador. My sister was visiting and working in Lima for 1 week at the United Nations Climate Change Conference-COP20, and as I hadn’t seen her since she’d…
Ecuador
After 2.5 months exploring Central America, it was time to leave the sun and 30°C temperatures behind to fly to the rain and altitude of Ecuador in South America! This was a big adjustment, just as I was finally building up a tan! In my previous post on Panama, (https://cloverseasclaire.com/2018/01/28/panama/) I mentioned that we skipped…
Carnival- T&T
In my last post, I talked about how to get to Trinidad and Tobago, and all the things there are to do there (https://cloverseasclaire.com/2018/02/23/trinidad-and-tobago/). I thought that Carnival deserves it’s own separate post as there is so much to cover! I have celebrated Carnival before in Rio de Janeiro back in 2015. We downloaded an…
Trinidad and Tobago
I’ve fallen completely in Love with Trinidad and Tobago! When I first moved to Leeds in 2015 I lived with my friend Kirstyn, who is from Trinidad. She told me all about her amazing country, and that is how, almost three years later, I ended up travelling to join her for two weeks in one…
Panama
The last country in our Central America journey! I couldn’t believe how quickly 2.5 months had gone by! Now, when planning my Central and South America adventure all those months ago, I made the mistake of listening to my mother who warned me that Colombia was way too dangerous to visit and I shouldn’t go…
Costa Rica
In all honesty, we only ended up staying in Costa Rica for 4 days in total. We had decided to spend longer on our beautiful private island in Honduras than expected, which set us back slightly longer than were we expected to be by this date.Now we had only 10 days to get from Nicaragua…
Nicaragua
Another one of my favourite countries in Central America- Nicaragua! I spent 3 weeks here, and was amazed by how diverse the country is. Leon Leon is a pretty little colonial town on the West coast of Nicaragua. Most of the tourist destinations are based on the West coast, so we made a beeline there…
