Pol Pot&#8217;s Khmer Rouge regime were responsible for the murder of an estimated 2,400,000 people &#8211; which equates to 33% of the total population of Cambodia &#8211; with countless more being killed through starvation and [&#8230;]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a surprising amount to do in this quirky little town and we loved it so much we decided to put together a Valparaiso city guide. &#8216;Valparaíso, how absurd you are…you [&#8230;]]]></description>

It was to be at the end of a 4 month travel period and &#8216;paradise&#8217; sounded like the ideal way for our travels around the continent to end. The Park is a protected [&#8230;]]]></description>

Unusual for us, yes, but after 3.5 months of constant travelling at a faster than average pace we were ahead of schedule and owed some rest time before our next flight. Santa Marta is very much [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s romantically beautiful and really doesn&#8217;t require much more than a stroll around the 13km of colonial stone walls filled with cobbled streets and charming balcony buildings, churches and cafés. But that&#8217;s the postcard. In reality you will be walking around gasping for a breeze and looking for the [&#8230;]]]></description>

Arguably one of the most beautiful sights of the trip, but undoubtedly the most iconic. About The Flats At over 10,500 square kilometres (5,000+ miles) [&#8230;]]]></description>
