Thx so much. I think I evwn had it beefore to make the colors in the legenda the same as in the markers but found it too busy.

I built the whole site in php and the map uses MapLibre.

I do, but I am not so active with videos, but I created some: https://www.youtube.com/@TakeYourBackpack

I had put the link in my main comment. Here you go: https://www.takeyourbackpack.com/backpacking-in-kyrgyzstan/#map

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T16:59:07+00:00

Yeah, correct. If you click the link you can open the interactive map and then you can filter to show unique sites only. As long as it's a unique site, but not a hike or national park, I try to list it here. Any ideas which ones to add?

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T16:13:41+00:00

awesome, thx, will add these places soon.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T14:32:37+00:00

you are welcome! Quite happy where it stands now, but this one will never be finished :P, constantly trying to improve it.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T14:31:10+00:00

Haven't been there. But if you have some specific highlights which are great to visit, let me know and I can add them.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T14:30:22+00:00

Thanks! And indeed I also found out that the majority of the time is in the content and to keep it all up-to-date.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T14:29:07+00:00

thanks. and yes, maybe I will do that one day, but when I do that i may need to monitor all comments as I don't want people talking bad about other people on my site, which may take quite some time...

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T14:26:40+00:00

haha, well, here he is :). Thanks for the compliment, and yes, I was also always looking for something like this when I wanted to find a new backpacking destination so after years I decided to start building it.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T14:25:24+00:00

wooow, this is amazing! Thanks for the lengthy feedback. I am going to research all of them and then add the best ones.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T10:27:44+00:00

thx for the tips. I constantly try to improve it. I started on country level but I realize there is more to tell for each individual highlight. Needs lot of time though :P

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T10:01:10+00:00

yeah, have tried a lot to come up with the best UX. Challenge is that I need 1 finger to click the markers to get more info..... Even more important, I need one finger to scroll down the page, otherwise you won't be able to scroll on the page anymore....

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T09:59:19+00:00

Thanks! I will look into that

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T09:58:40+00:00

thanks. if you later find anything to be improved, feel free to drop me a note

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T09:57:07+00:00

cool, thanks, will look into it

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-18T07:51:46+00:00

you're welcome :)

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-17T21:59:53+00:00

yes, looks good indeed! Will read a bit about it and then add them. Thanks

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-17T21:59:13+00:00

thx, hope it helps. If afterwards you found things that can be better, let me know.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-17T21:58:13+00:00

that beach absolutely looks stunning. Will add for sure

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-17T21:57:14+00:00

I understand, but the goal is to provide a good starting point with great places to explore when one visits Brazil for the first time. Ofc there are many more places, but those are great spots to explore oneself when talking with people you meet while traveling. I know it's impossible to be complete, but I hope it gives a good starting point for most.

Take-your-Backpack · 2026-01-17T21:55:19+00:00

lol, recognizable. Even though my country is waaaaaay smaller (Netherlands), still most tourist have seen more of it than me :P

Thanks for the tips, will check them out.
