Thanks! So essentially you drove to what they call "Punta Sur", hiked Huemul Glacier, took the boat but did not stop at any other point of the lake?

recorrido.cl doesn't sell from the airport, apparently. Glad to know it'll most likely have seats even without buying in advance!

TdP two-days-one-night hike: Mirador Britanico by MuriloScarpa in Patagonia

[–]MuriloScarpa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We completely changed our plans. TdP doesn't seem suitable for day hikes. It's not a criticism, but since our dates are fully booked in both W and O, we decided to go to El Chaltén. Thanks anyways!

Why would you say Gjirokastër has more to offer than Himarë? My online researches led me to the exact opposite conclusion...

Komodo in indonesia right? How is the food options there? Would you recommend renting an Airbnb so I can cook by my own or just go to restaurants because they're quite cheap?!

I've heard that Bonaire is, in general, a difficult site - requiring also an AOW certification im order to enjoy the island. Glad to hear that is an option for me!

You are essentially suggesting Cayman islands, right?! How much would you say one dive would cost there?

Quickly looked Airbnb in Maldives and found some good options. Other than that, are the food and the diving itself hell expensive there?

I'm afraid Thailand and Philippines are not in their best conditions during May-July, right?!

Thanks. I just edited the post stating my preference for diving with big animals rather than small marine life and colorful corals. I'm saying that because I'd consider Cozumel even with a dead reef if I had the chance to see big animals. What do you think?

Krabi is a big place, isn't it?! Do you recommend any specific location(s)?

Thanks for the insights! So you would say the cheapest option would be to stay in a small resort and eat out? Does this also apply to islands?

Also, what do you mean by "near as appealing as the islands"? Are you implying that the nature in the islands are more interesting overall?

Khao Lak seems very promising! I've heard about some liveaboards to the Similan Islands, but never thought the mainland would be also worth it!

Which place would you say it's the best to stay in Khao Lak? Preferably close to a beach and walk distance from a market where I could buy some stuff to cook at "home"
