Podcasts about Rainbow Mountain

Tamara and her husband recently took a couple's trip to Chile and this week on the podcast she shares her impressions, experiences, and tips for Santiago and Atacama Desert. In a future episode, she will talk about her week in Chile's Winelands. Episode Highlights Tamara flew Avianca Airlines on a flight deal from Boston to Bogota and Bogota to Santiago. Avianca Airlines business class is more like premium economy and not a very impressive business class but overall the flights went smoothly. She really enjoyed her stay at the Hyatt Centric Las Condes. Las Condes is a nice area to stay in Santiago. If you are visiting Santiago or Valparaiso, be on alert of pickpockets and petty crime and don't wear jewelry and keep your phone secure. Foodies would love the chef's tasting dinner at Borago in Santiago. To get to the Atacama Desert, you fly 1.5-2 hours to Calama and then it is a 1.5 hour drive to San Pedro de Atacama, which is the central hub for the region. Tamara stayed at the Nayara Alto Atacama, which provides a transfer to and from the airport. They offer an all-inclusive rate that includes food, drink, and group excursions. Other options include the Explora and the Tierra and the Awasi offers private excursions. She wouldn't recommend self-driving because there is very little cell service and getting to some of the attractions includes driving on dirt roads. The Atacama Desert is at a higher elevation so it is good to stay at least 3 nights so that you can do the higher elevation excursions later in your stay after you have time to acclimate. Nayara Alto Atacama is part of Virtuoso and booking through Tamara you can get perks that include a $100 spa credit. They did three excursions: Sunset excursion to the Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) with some short hikes and finishing with a sundowner Salt Flats and Flamingo Reserve - the salt flats are not the flat white salt that you see in Bolivia or Utah, the salt is mixed with minerals and the flats looks a lot like a white lava field Rainbow Valley - not as dramatic as Rainbow Mountain in Peru but a great landscape with layers of red, white, and green rock Star gazing - the Atacama Desert is well-known for its dark skies and star gazing The food at the resort was fine but lunch was a three-course meal and if you want something more casual you can eat at the bar. The portions are small and there are only a few options per meal, but at least the menu changes every day. Make sure you get the correct adapter for electrical outlets. You need cash for small shops and some tips but you can mostly use a credit card or charge tips to your room Make sure you wear sunscreen and a hat because there is a high UV index Be sure to stay hydrated and bring lots of moisturizer and lip balm Bring plenty of layers because the desert gets cold at night Remember that it is in the Southern Hemisphere so the summer high season is December - March and winter is during our summer. Bring shoes with good traction.

In this episode, we welcome Phalgun Guduthur, a passionate explorer on his third sabbatical, who spent six months uncovering the wonders of South America. Phalgun is a ‘serial traveler' who thrives on exploring new places, soaking in the local culture, making lasting connections, and, of course, savoring local cuisine and beer with newfound friends. He shares how sabbaticals have become transformative for him, whether they reignite his professional spark, open doors to new career paths, or provide the perfect escape from the routine hustle. Phalgun's journey through South America is packed with unforgettable stories. From crazy parties with drug lords to dancing reggaeton under the shadow of Christ the Redeemer, he had once-in-a-lifetime experiences. He trekked across jaw-dropping landscapes, witnessed an awe-inspiring volcanic eruption during a trek, waded through serene lagoons, and celebrated life through local festivals. He also faced challenges like altitude sickness and explored the vibrant yet complex favelas, all while embracing the rich, immersive culture of the continent. One of the most memorable moments of Phalgun's journey was celebrating his birthday atop the majestic Rainbow Mountain, surrounded by llamas and alpacas. Though he initially doubted he'd return to South America due to the distance and expense, the magic of the trip convinced him otherwise. Now, he's already planning part two of his South American sabbatical. This is an episode brimming with adventure, cultural discovery, and personal growth—don't miss it! ------------------------------------------- Follow Phalgun Guduthur on Instagram | LinkedIn | Twitter ------------------------------------------- To support our team and donate generously, pleaseclick ⁠SUPPORT ⁠.

This is the first part of my awesome trip to Peru. I visited Machu Pichu, the Rainbow Mountain and more. I had such a wonderful time and met amazing people along the way. Tried some delicious food too as always. Follow my IG page miasightseer to see some awesome pictures I took ☺️ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Initial Planning to PeruMy partner and I planned our Machu Picchu trip in about three weeks. To optimize the planning process and to make the most of your international travels, I'd advise 6-8 weeks of planning and going for at least a week to get acclimated to the culture and altitude. Our main focuses for planning were where are we going to stay, how are we going to explore Machu Picchu, and are we going to explore reputable, safe provinces. So that's where our planning process began.Booking Flights Our trip was planned for four days - which was one to two days too short to account for the lengthy travel. From Miami airport, the flight to Lima, Peru is nearly 6 hours so we flew through the night. After going through customs at Jorge Chávez International Airport , we had to go through the check-in process and security again to catch our flight to Cusco, Peru. (We missed our flight - so make sure you have enough time accounted for if you have an international connecting flight)  Luckily, we were able to get on the next flight out to Cusco at 10am, but that meant we had been traveling for nearly 12 hours by that point. The most competitive prices to get to Peru were from international hubs, like Miami and Fort Lauderdale, that flew into Peru's capital. To browse flights and get the best deals, I highly recommend using Hopper and Skyscanner. For flights from Lima to Cusco, your best option is Latam Airlines. Still check sites like Kiwi and Skyscanner for deals on domestic flights in Peru. Where to Stay in PeruNext step in the process was where to stay once we had our dates booked. By browsing Airbnb, Trip Advisor reviews, and highly regarded hotels, we choose to stay at Tocuyeros Boutique Hotel. At the heart of the San Blas neighborhood in Cusco and only a quick walk to Plaza de Armas, we couldn't have picked a better location. Tocuyeros Hotel employed the kindest, most thoughtful people who went above and beyond to provide excellent service. When we first got there, our greeter had a 30 minute session with us - explaining about the property, showing us the best spots on the map, and answering any questions we had. It was so helpful and gave us great recommendations to look into. The entire property is so aesthetic and beautiful with a stunning view of the Andes Mountains and the town below. At night, they lock the main door to the property so no one can wander in, which added an extra layer of security. It also has 5 Stars on Trip Advisor and we felt extremely comfortable there.Altitude Sickness Once you are in Cusco, you may experience altitude sickness since it's 11,500 ft above sea level. For reference, Breckenridge, CO is about 9,000 above sea level. As you can imagine, it's high up there. Here's a helpful article to combat altitude sickness.  Now for all things Machu Picchu with Exploor PeruThis is somewhat how your trip will look - Lima Peru > Cusco, Peru > Ollantaytampo Train Station > Aguas Caliente Bus station > Machu Picchu I can not thank the universe and the Instagram algorithm enough for putting the best tour agency in our line of sight. After browsing through #MachuPicchu, I came across this epic page called Exploor Peru, which showcased more than just beautiful photos of Peru. Exploor Peru is a tour agency that specializes in unforgettable tours through Machu Picchu, the Inca trails, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, and more. The main reason we were going to Peru was for this destination so finding the right tour agency was EVERYTHING. Exploor Peru had an outstanding reputation on every review/ tour site like Trip Advisor and Viator and for good reason. Therefore, we felt so comfortable putting our adventurous day to Machu Picchu into the hands of professionals and it was worth every penny. After asking some questions and booking with them, I received our train, bus, and entrance tickets along with a thorough itinerary to my email, which allowed us to breathe and focus on other planning aspects of the trip. This level of professionalism soothed my A-type energy. The entire team was so friendly and helpful, and on the day of, everything went down like a Disney Movie. We were picked up at our hotel in Cusco at 3am (so go to bed very early the night before), and driven to the Ollantaytampo train station, where we took the Expedition train. On the way there, we got to see the sun rising in between the Andes Mountains. An hour and a half later, we arrived at Aguas Caliente, known as Machu Picchu town, and had some time to explore before taking the bus up to the entrance of Machu Picchu. This tour catered to the tourists awaiting their adventure up and made for great photos and exploration. After connecting with our tour guide Peter, we took a quick 20 minute bus ride up the mountain to the entrance. This is where Exploor Peru shines - Peter was the most knowledgeable, friendly, and considerate person and guide we've ever had. Since we went up so early, we missed the large crowds and it felt more intimate to connect with this awe-striking World Wonder. There is a good reason that Machu Picchu was named an UNESCO World Heritage Site and later a Modern World Wonder - it's hard to describe the pure magic and jaw dropping views and to know that you stand where an ancient empire once ruled. The grit and tenacity it must have taken to construct - unimaginable. Luckily, Peter was able to share more than 2 hours worth of facts and insights with us because you're bound to wonder HOW. Although we did the day tour which I highly recommend too, Exploor Peru has other longer options like The Best of Cusco 2 Days - Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, 3 Day Tours, Tours with Hotel options, Hiking Tours, and so much more. They really cater to what you want and if you have questions, head over to Exploor Peru's website and ask. The praise doesn't go far enough - our trip wouldn't have been complete without the help of Exploor. Thank you so much. If you don't already - follow their Instagram for all the #travelinspiration. What To Do While in CuscoThen after you trek back down and take the bus, train, and car again to get back to Cusco, there's a few things you need to do. Walk around Plaza De Armas in Cusco  Tour the cathedral in Plaza De Armas Go on a short tour of Choco Museo to try various chocolates and liquorSpend a couple hours around Sacsayhuaman - protip: they only accept cash/SOL and it's a minimum of 70 SOL per person. You'll need an Uber to get there. Where to Eat in Peru Places to Eat in Aguas Caliente - After hiking through Machu Picchu and before you catch your train back, get lunch at Full House Peruvian Cuisine. Their views are worth it. Places to Eat in Cusco - For the most delicious Pisco sours, delectable Peruvian food, and excellent service, Morena Peruvian Kitchen is the spot. It was our favorite dinner out of the entire trip and it was located right off of Plaza De Armas. A highly rated restaurant known for the Peruvian delicacy, Guinea Pig, called Pachapapa was a very intimate spot with a very specific ambiance. It was a perfect date night spot with an interesting menu and exceptional service as always. Heading to Lima, Peru Unless you've booked your flight from Cusco home, you'll typically fly out of the capital Lima once again. We booked a later flight the next day out of Cusco and arrived in Lima by 7pm - where we stayed at the beautiful 5 star hotel, JW Marriott Lima Miraflores. Miraflores was a highly regarded and safe neighborhood with a lively environment and breathtaking views, so it was an easy choice and only about 30 minutes from the airport. After an exhausting, fast paced trip, we chose not to explore Lima far beyond our hotel. I would recommend extending your trip and having more rest and relaxation time too. The JW Marriott's Spa was perfect for that - best massage I've ever gotten. While in Lima, we did eat well and there were so many places with thousands of 5 star reviews. For a fancier dinner overlooking the Pacific, La Rosa Nautica hit the nail on the head and was the perfect way to end an unforgettable trip.

Rainbow Mountain and the Red Valley in Peru. Located at 17,500 feet above sea level amidst snow-capped mountains, is it a challenge native Texans can take on? Listen to this episode to find out how Jarrett and Linda fared on this journey. Please note that Jarrett and Linda were paying customers of Visit South America, https://visitsouthamerica.co/packages/rainbow-mountain-1-day/.

He shares how he first became aware of the healing power of yoga when he saw how it helped his mother to recover from an illness. He went on to develop a regular practice and recognized the ability of the asanas and the breath to release physical and emotional trauma.   [26.23] The healing touch. Francisco’s desire to relieve pain inspired him to study Thai yoga massage. He respects the ancient origins of the practice and passes on the traditional techniques to his students, encouraging them to carry out the therapeutic massage in a meditative mood of loving kindness and compassion.    [34.06] Pachamama, the Earth Goddess of the Andes.

Part III - New Zealand Adventure Series : The North Island The last two podcasts focused on the South Island, including Milford Sound, Mt Cook/Aorika, Queenstown, Kaikora Pennisula, Pancake Rocks and much more.   My original plan was to spend one week exploring solo, join Active Adventures (one of my affiliates) on their two week 'Rimu' tour and then continue solo once more for my final week in New Zealand.  However, I had so much fun with Active and my group, that once I found out that several of my tour-mates were going to catch the back half of Active's North Island 'Kauri' tour, I decided to scrap my plans (and prepaid accomodations and flight) and book the tour to join them.  Best idea I've had in a while! Many people just explore the South Island, but seriously, make the time to head north!  It is completely different in landscape and feel, and isn't as crowded.  It was the perfect finale to an EPIC holiday! Links Mentioned in this Podcast: New Zealand South Island Part I New Zealand South Island Part II Costa Rica Adventures Australia Adventures Visit Te Aroha, hike to Wairere Waterfall Our guides, Jo and Andy, picked us up in Auckland and we headed up the coast.  After a short bit, we stopped in Te Aroha, a cute town famous for its soda waters and Mokena geyser.  Jo said we were going to take a 'wee' hike.  Her idea of 'wee' and mine are quite different, as the trail through the moss covered trees and over several bridged covered rivers was a bit steep. Well worth it when we reached the base of the Wairere Falls, where we were not only treated to a great view of the waterfall, but also a panoramic view of Auckland down below. On our way down, we took a swim in a river to cool off, and while we saw several other hikers, we had the river to ourselves. Once back in town, Jo fixed us a wonderful picnic lunch that we ate in the town square.  Then we headed up to Rotorua, the spiritual home of the Maori people (the original people ("tangata whenua") of the land who came over by canoe from Polynesia ).  Rotorua is considered the heartland of the Maori people (pronounced something like MOUWRDEE, not MAYOREE, as you might think). The town of Rotorua is ALIVE!  And not just with folks on adventure on the land and lake:  The tectonic plates below the surface have slid under each other and the steam vents from the soil all over the place!  You'll see steam curling up someone's fence, or next to a garage, etc.  It's cool and looks like a nuke bomb oddly went off sparing the people and the buildings.  A bit surreal! There are hot pools and mud pools all over the place along this lakeside town, then lake itself a collapsed caldera filled with water. Mountain Bike Whakarewarewa Forest  I step outside my comfort zone and go 'REAL' mountain biking in the Whakarewarewa  Forest.  We arrive at the bike rental shop that has a cool coffee food truck outside, so we can enjoy a cup while we are getting fitted for our bikes.  Nice bikes.  Very expensive bikes.  Do they realize that my only experience mountain biking is on a $15 yard sale bike?  Apparently not, so after our guide gives us instructions in the parking lot and we get to ride in circles, we head out to the equivalent of the 'Bunny Hill' for him to assess us.  Our group does great and we quickly move up the skill level to intermediate.  The Whakarewarewa Forest is pretty close to Rotorua making for an easy to get to, fun outing!  The forest features over 130 km of well-maintained trails for all skill levels.  You can also hike and trail run these pretty well maintained paths suitable for beginners to expert.  You can even bring your horse! Get a guide or a map and the trails intersect each other.  This is world class for mountain bikers.  Te Puia Geothermals In the afternoon, we checked out Te Puia in the Te Whakarewarewa geothermal valley.  I thought we saw a lot of steam in town - NOPE!  THIS place has A LOT of steam.  Plus mud pools, hot pools and geysers to boot.  Interpretive signs help us to understand how come the land is erupting.  Hot mud pools and natural baths are used by the Maori people (some of the really hot ones - over 200 degrees are off limits to non-Maori). Back in town, if you have time, check out the Rotorua Museum to learn more about this land, its people and history.  The architecture of the massive Swiss Tudor-like building looks a bit out of place in this town of steamy fissures.   Maori Cultural Visit and Hangi (Traditional Pit Steamed Dinner) Be sure to take time to explore the fascinating Maori culture and the various tribes that came over by canoe from Polynesia in several waves from around 1250 -1300.  They developed distinct language and traditions still practiced today. While in Rotorua. attend a Meeting Hall ritual where you will experience a 'Welcome' offered to guests and the warrior dance.  To intimidate guests, the warriors bulge their eyes and stick out their tongues. Afterwards, the women demonstrate a ball and string dance and chant, and then ask for female volunteers.  I went up and did my best to do the twirling and clacking balls as instructed.  Afterwards, you'll have a traditional hangii dinner which has all sorts of delectable meat and veggies in a buried pit that is pretty much steamed, offering a healthy dinner.  They put out a massive buffet not only of the hangii foods, but a huge assortment of western foods and seafood. Active Adventures (similar name but different company than Active Travel Adventures), the company I did much of my visit with in New Zealand, is an affiliate of ATA.  Please use my links if you decide to use them, and at no additional cost to you, you'll be helping to support this podcast and website - Thanks!  Kit Hike Rainbow Mountain, hike to Huka Falls  Just when I think  it can't get any better - it does!  My group hikes pretty fast and we conquered Rainbow Mountain, named for its multi-colored layers of exposed soil, and Huka Falls pretty quickly.  The vegetation is starting to re-establish on Rainbow Mountain, but you can still see the beautiful colors.  At the top, you'll see forest as far as the eye can see.  Once the largest specialty timber forest, since replanted.  You reach Huka Falls after following the ice blue Waikato River upstream (New Zealand's longest river).  Once the main means of transport, now you can take a Jet boat up, or walk up as we did.  As with all glacial water, the sediment suspension gives the water an unnatural crystal blue look. From here, we coast over to a hot spring for a dip. This is cool not only because it is nice to soak in a hot spring, but also because a regular cold river meets here so you can go back and forth between the hot and cold waters for a refreshing break.  There's a changing room so you don't need to hike in your bathing suit all morning. Because we are ahead of schedule,  Jo and Andy ask us if we want to raft the world's tallest commercially navigable waterfall, the Tutea, located on the Kaituna River.  We say "YES"!  Not only is going over a 21' waterfall super fun and exciting (and less dangerous than it sounds - you plunge into a deep, rock free large pool, so even if you fall out, as I did, there's nothing to get banged up on).  You float through a beautiful rainforest with several falls and rapids.  My best rafting trip EVER and I've don't the Pacuare in Costa Rica and the Tulley in Australia. Tongarino Alpine Crossing  New Zealand's favorite day hike!  Epic in grandeur.  Located in New Zealand's first national park, the Tongarino National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, this approximately 20 km hike starts out easy enough before you start hiking up to the ridgeline where you'll see remnants of previous eruptions and several glacial lakes with their eerie crystal blue or teal colors.  Like much we've seen on the North Island, steam vents abound!  Always hike prepared for all climates as the weather can change rapidly without notice.  You end the hike back down under tree line in a magical rainforest.  Allow about seven hours and bring PLENTY of water - though you'll see lakes and rivers you cannot drink out of them, even if you treat it.

The guys just returned from a trip to Peru and continue to learn new tips and tricks everytime they take a visit. If you get a little homesick while in Cusco and you just want a little taste of home. Be wary of the pizza in the city square. There is only one spot they have been able to find that uses pizza made with mozzarella cheese. Acclimating once in Cusco is advised. Especially, when hiking at 16,000 feet. The guys didn’t take their own advice and allow two days to acclimate before attempting Rainbow Mountain. Listen to hear how much they struggled. When using taxis, they found out that Uber is likely the best option to get from place to place whether in Lima or Cusco. They got to meet some of the travelers that went to Machu Picchu with their company. And finally, they take a return trip to Central. Be sure to listen to see what they thought of their second trip.

Sally Lucas talks food adventures, Rainbow Mountain in South America, and looks at air travel then and now.

I, Matt Wilson, was officially homeless.   Tamarindo, Costa Rica July 2012 My apartment in New York was packed up, my stuff was thrown out, donated, or put in various friend’s attics.  I was free. I had nothing but my Marmot climbing pack on my back. Minimalism had been achieved.   Now it was time to see some shit. My plane landed in the eco-capital of the world-- Costa Rica, where 5% of all the world’s biodiversity lives.   Did I break out my bucket hat and birdwatching pants and head into the jungle?   Nope, I went to the most gringo town Costa Rica has to offer and took up surfing. Goal #1: Learn a new skill While I wasn’t exactly on an eco-lodge in the jungle growing my own food, hear me out… Tamarindo’s mix of surfing, partying, and people patient enough to listen to my broken Spanish was just what I needed. Little did I know, surfing would actually be a great way to get in touch with nature and even develop a little more understanding of the zen philosophy I had been studying. If you are looking to get rid of bad habits, or negative patterns in your life, finding a new hobby or a new skill is a great way to focus your efforts in a new direction.  It’s why they give alcoholics the same advice when they put down the bottle; they are in need of a new best friend. Speaking of new friends, developing new skills are a great way to meet people who you actually have something in common with.  And yes, this works for romantic encounters as well.  Surfing never worked out for me (it’s all dudes), but yoga has been a great decision (it’s all chicks).  Figure out what you are into and get involved in a community of like-minded people. Goal #2: Do something physically challenging Travel has a magical way to pull you into the present moment as your senses are immediately overwhelmed with new sights, sounds, smells, etc… surfing, and any extreme sport for that matter, can do the same.   I love strenuous physical activities because when you do things that are physically and mentally exhausting like climbing Dead Woman’s Pass or Rainbow Mountain at high altitudes in Peru, there’s no chance your mind is wandering. Some days the waves were so big I could barely even paddle out.  By the time I even got out there was I was too fatigued to try and catch a wave.  This is the place where you really start learning to be present; when you are questioning your life choices. When a huge wave is about to crush you, you aren’t thinking about your inbox or to-do list.   If you are interested in this subject, I recommend the book The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance.   Goal #3: Do Something Mentally Challenging The waves in Tamarindo can be fucking huge. Intimidated or not, I had no choice but to paddle out into the lineup, learn the rules of the road, and try to catch my share of waves amongst the overly-aggressive locals. Learning a new skill, and one that can be extremely dangerous, was the perfect way to get myself out of my comfort zone and shock my system.  I was literally developing new neural pathways by learning to do new things with my body. Everyone says do something that scares you.  It sounds cliche, but when I see people who are afraid of heights do things like zip-line in Costa Rica, or go paragliding in Lima, people have breakthroughs.  If you can jump out of a plane, you can also quit your job, end that toxic relationship, or start that business you’ve been hesitating to do. Exercise your courage muscle!!    Goal #4: Do Something in Conjunction with the Planet Most of us are just so damn disconnected these days.  It’s said that if you live in Hong Kong, you can go the entire year without actually touching your bare feet to the ground.  We now live in not-so-healthy, climate-controlled environments, where it’s possible never to get sunshine, fresh air, or water that is truly clean as I described in my previous post on nature.  Get yourself in the water and immediately you are getting exercise, absorbing nutrients from the salt water, producing Vitamin D by getting in the sun, and taking in beneficial ions and electrons from the sea.  The health benefits are immense.   You don’t have to go surfing, you can pick something else as your gateway to nature, but for me, it’s pretty cool when you start to think about waves and tides… You literally sit out there and wait for the earth to move, so you can ride it.  Talk about being in conjunction with the planet.   And to think the tides are dramatically affected by the moon...That’s some interstellar shit right there. Even when I paddle out and don’t catch a single wave, the meditative effect of watching wave after wave come in rhythmically while listening to the sound of the ocean, puts me into a good mood for hours after I get out of the water. Find something that helps you go with the flow.  You won’t regret it.
