Can you help us identify what kind of Centipede this is? We found it while walking through the Monteverde Cloud Forrest in Costa Rica. We would like to label it correctly.

Taganga is a small fishing village located just outside of Santa Marta, Colombia. The town is growing with tourism quickly and it is becoming difficult to find cheap lodging. Tucked away in the south corner of the town there is a path leading up and over the mountain side where one can access Playa Grande. This is the area where everyone goes to swim, snorkel and enjoy fried trucha at one of the many restaurants near the shore.

San Pedro de Atacama is located around beautiful landscapes.  During our Valle de la Luna tour in the Atacama desert with Cactus Tours we visited the Mirador where we witnessed yet another beautiful sunset that reminded us of a vanilla sky.

Isla del Sol is an island in the southern part of Lake Titicaca and belongs to Bolivia. Geographically, the terrain is harsh; it is a rocky, hilly island without any motor vehicles or paved roads on the island. The main economic activity of the approximately 800 families on the island is farming, fishing and tourism.

These farming terrace were built to capture the water on the hills rather than running off. During our visit we took a 2 hour boat from Copacabana, Bolivia to the Northern tip of Isla del Sol and trekked to the Southern tip. For more pictures of our trek click on the picture below.

The Church of Guadalupe was founded in 1624-1626 by Benito de Baltodano monk. It is situated in the Calzada street (Calle la Calzada) near Nicaragua Lake. During Colonial times the church was very important because of its strategic position situated at the entrance of the town from the lake. However, this made it vulnerable and was destroyed by pirates. It was rebuilt in 1945 which is the structure that we can see today.
