Sunset from Cerro de la Calavera. La Paz, Mexico
⠀
If you’re ever in La Paz and find yourself with nothing to do one afternoon, this is a small hike, popular amongst locals, that you can take to get a pretty neat view of the beautiful sunsets La Paz never fails to deliver.
⠀
The name of the of the place, that translates to ‘Hill of the Skull’, comes from very peculiar cave-like formations on its side that resemble that shape. You can easily reach these caves from the trail, about half way up to the lower summit.
⠀
La Paz is a place with a lot of stories and legends (which is why it’s great to chat up the locals!), and Cerro de la Calavera also has a couple of them. One of them tells the story of the crew of a boat of early explorers of the Baja that were buried here; another one tells a tragic love story, but I’ll let you hear it from the locals once you visit.

A view of Espíritu Santo Island from Tecolote Beach.
⠀
One of the first things I got to do this year was to join this beautiful family on a day trip with @redtravelmx to this amazing island to document their adventure.
⠀
I do believe traveling alone lets you discover and get to know yourself a lot better. You see what you see, you hear what you hear, you smell what you smell, you feel what you feel, effectively providing an untouched reflection of your self. Traveling with great company, however, always adds whole new dimensions to your experience.
⠀
Through their enjoyment and expressions, jokes and laughter, the way they play around, through the challenges they face and the conversations and friendship that arise when sharing these moments, your own experience becomes richer. You see what they see, you hear what they hear, you smell what they smell, and even feel what they feel. The interpretation you get out of the experience is multiplied by the perspectives you get from these travel buddies.
⠀
Any one who knows me and/or has read a few of my Espiritu Island posts knows that this is one of my favourite places in Baja and in the world, but with the Cantwells and Red Travel, this visit to the island became an irreplaceable memory. Thanks again for an amazing start of the year, friends!

Somewhere in the East Cape of Los Cabos
⠀
This here is another of those special places for me at home. So many cool experiences have taken place here. Amazing campings with the sound of manta rays as they splash back into the sea after trying to reach the starry skies. Great memories with some of the best friends I’ve been lucky to cross paths with.
⠀
Last night we used it as the perfect backdrop to shoot a little bit of video for some of the best musicians I know in Cabo, followed by cold beers for the hot weather, delicious campfire dinner and jammin’ the night away.
⠀
Thanks for one more cool memory in this place, friends!

Old Lighthouse in Cabo San Pablo, Tierra del Fuego
⠀
The day we visited the Desdemona Shipwreck you can find a few photos ago in my feed, we first did a small hike up the hill of Cabo San Pablo to witness an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean.
⠀
After seeing a Condor flying over us and stumbling upon a Guanaco that was roaming the area we reached the top, where you can find this Old Lighthouse.
⠀
After having a couple of snacks while our guides from @tierraturismo and @canal_fun shared some cool information about the area, we took a little bit of time to enjoy the view of the Desdemona from the top and to play around this old lighthouse.
⠀
It was built around 1940, but just a couple of years after that an earthquake left it in the position you can see in the photo. A new one was built with the proper corrections to avoid this would happen again, but this one remained and has become a well-known landmark.
⠀
Soon after, though, it started raining a little bit and we maded our way back to those cool Land Rovers we rode around the Island. Maybe Nature sensed our hunger, since it rained for only 20 minutes after, and stopped as soon as we reached the lunch spot close to the ship.
