A Traditional Chilean BBQ

Hi I'm Danny! I'm travelling around the world! Follow my posts.

Chilean locals eat a lot of meat, so today we had chicken and beef in a typical Chilean barbeque. The large pan goes on the ashes of the fire, and then you sit back and wait for it all to cook.

Up here in the forest cabin we're even more remote than the last place - we have very limited Wifi, and have to drive off road to get anywhere.



You might need to stock up if you plan to do something like this - the last thing you want to do is start preparing your feast then realise you've forgotten some of the basic ingredients!

After lunch we burned more of the debris from yesterdays tree felling excercise.

In the evening we made our way to Lake Villarrica to enjoy a final (some what blurry on this picture!) sunset.

Rio de Janeiro

In Rio de Janeiro I visit some of the classic tourist destinations including Christ The Redeemer, take some amazing hikes up Pedra da Gávea, and visit some more off the beaten track destinations like the sleepy Ilha Grande.

The Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro crater is a diverse area of grassland, forests, rivers, and ravines creating a haven for an abundance of wildlife. On this trip I managed to spot an elusive Serval Cat, and visit the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage in neighbouring Kenya.

Zambia

In Zambia I visited the incredible Victoria Falls, and then set up to camp near the Zambezi National Park to come into close contact with all the animals of the African bush. On this trip we had an incredible encounter with a hyena, which is one of my favourite stories so far.

Incredible Zanzibar

Zanzibar is one of the most beautiful places I've visited - we took boats to view dolphins and humpback whales. We also got to work with school children in Jambiani and to learn about some of the efforts being made to help this poor (but incredibly happy) community.

Exploring Cape Town

In Cape Town I show you some of the best spots to go hiking or to enjoy a day out, including visiting the prison island that was famously home to Nelson Mandela for 18 years. As usual theres a mix of fun stories - like when I almost stepped on a puff adder on the edge of a cliff.

Mountain Gorillas In The Congo

It was an absolute privelege to travel through Rwanda to reach the Congo to go on the front line with the amazing team at Virunga National Park protecting mountain gorillas. We spend New Years by a lava lake, and get to see efforts being made to help orphaned gorillas.

Bonito's beautiful waters

Bonito translated means beautiful, and visiting the eco tourism capital of Brazil, it's easy to see why. We did a lot of snorkelling in what seemed like a huge outdoor aqaurium, visited underground caves in Abismo, and finally headed to the spectacular Buraco das Araras.

Colombia & Trekking to the hidden city

I landed in Bogota, and then made my way to tackle the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range. We come into contact with the native Tairona people as we trekked through jungle, waterfalls and rivers to reach this incredible lost settlement.

The Pantanal Wetlands and Wildlife

I visit this worlds largest tropical wetland site and come face to face with the local Pantiero cowboys, Jacaré Caiman, Capybara, and a whole host of other wildlife. I was also lucky enough to meet one of the photographers from the BBC show The Blue Planet.
