- Ahoy – Mount FitzRoy!by Eugene Kaspersky on February 27, 2026 at 12:45 pm
Hola amigos! Welcome, everyone, to the Argentine Patagonian village of El Chaltén – a place fully deserving of your close attention due to the insanely mind-blowing concentration of landscapes all around it. This mountain village is also where all (or almost all) routes heading to the mountains, glaciers, and multicolored lakes begin – into Argentine
- Lat-Am twenty-twenty-six: intro-post with 75 pix!by Eugene Kaspersky on February 24, 2026 at 1:51 pm
Hola Folks! And so this here blog of mine has finally caught up with my late-2025 globetrotting escapades to bring me (almost) up to date – at least firmly into this year and its first touristic adventure. And that adventure, as you already know from the title of this blogpost, took place down in South
- Two very different, unusual places to stay in Brazil.by Eugene Kaspersky on February 19, 2026 at 12:53 pm
A recent post was exclusively about the… exclusive hotel that, by virtue of its… exclusive location, has… exclusive rights to providing tourists with a full-fledged Iguazu Falls experience. This post is less exclusive – well, only just: it’s exclusively (dough!) about two other hotels in Brazil I stayed at recently… Peak preview pics: So, which
- Itaipu & Iguazu – the birds-eye view!by Eugene Kaspersky on February 13, 2026 at 10:19 am
As I mentioned last time, after our multiple waterfall-showers, it was time to take a helicopter ride to check out Itaipu and Iguazu from above… We signed up for the flight, paid, showed up on time, spent about 40 minutes standing in line – and off we choppered!… Here’s what the Iguazu River looks like
- The only hotel at Iguazu Falls.by Eugene Kaspersky on February 11, 2026 at 1:34 pm
Still at the Iguazu Falls in Brazil, as per tradition for a stay somewhere in the world that’s unusual/unique, it’s time for a post regarding lodgings – but with a twist: this time, it’s lodging – in the singular… Here, alas, the choice is stark: you go for either (i) very nice and convenient but
- 100% must-do: bathing in Iguazu!by Eugene Kaspersky on February 5, 2026 at 3:00 pm
Out of all the waterfalls in the world, Iguazu Falls are unique. Only here do they take you in motorboats right under the streams of a waterfall for the most amazing shower of you’ll ever take! Of course, they don’t take you under the main – biggest – streams of the waterfalls (that’d be suicidal),
- After Itaipu – the exotic-bird park of Foz do Iguaçu!by Eugene Kaspersky on February 4, 2026 at 10:02 am
The Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu has plenty to offer the visiting tourist – and not just the waterfalls and the Itaipu Dam; there’s also a really cool bird park – situated right at the exit from the national park of the same name (Foz do Iguaçu) where the waterfalls are. It’s called Parque
- +1: Georgia!by Eugene Kaspersky on February 3, 2026 at 12:55 pm
My globetrotting catch-up continues. Today we’re in neither Kamchatka, Saudi, nor Brazil, but in… Georgia – in its capital, Tbilisi! I’d long dreamed of visiting this place, for Georgia and many Georgian things make up a significant part of the essence of my social-cultural-historical backbone in life. There are certain old movies featuring Georgian actors
- Both the inside and outside view – of the impossibly immense Itaipu!by Eugene Kaspersky on February 2, 2026 at 11:42 am
As promised, I turn now to the Itaipu Dam – the third-largest hydroelectric power plant in the world. It sits on the border between Brazil and Paraguay next to the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu, which is also famous for the nearby Iguaçu Falls. So let’s go for a walk inside the power plant
- Kamchatka finale volcano reviews: choppering back south (oh, the views!).by Eugene Kaspersky on January 30, 2026 at 8:00 am
Back in Kamchatka, and it was time for my favorite installment of any trip there (and there’ve been several, if not a dozen or so): when we head back toward the south of the peninsula… I was especially thrilled to be heading south this time since, unfortunately, during our northern escapades, the weather was most
