Italy

This walk begins at Piazza Navona and moves through some of Rome’s most atmospheric backstreets. You’ll pass through winding alleys where the city’s layers come alive—ancient pathways, tucked-away courtyards, and places that feel both unexpected and strangely familiar.

Highlights include the widest alley, the steepest slope, and the narrowest passage in the historic center. Some alleys are so narrow they feel like corridors between buildings—unnamed, uneven, and often missing from standard navigation apps. The route includes streets with unusual names and corners shaped by archaeology, local lore, and centuries of lived history.

Leading the walk is Isabella, a licensed guide and art historian with deep roots in the city. Her focus isn’t on tourist landmarks but on spaces where time has settled quietly. With every stop, she draws your attention to small details—how a wall leans, how a name survived—that open up a deeper understanding of Rome's evolving identity.

This experience focuses on a side of Rome that’s quieter and more intimate, but still deeply rooted in history. Rather than major monuments, you’ll move through alleys and corners often overlooked, shaped by layers of time and lived experience.

Isabella, a licensed guide and art historian, leads with depth and clarity. Her background allows her to connect physical space with cultural and historical context, helping you notice how architecture, memory, and everyday life overlap in these lesser-known areas. You’ll notice how the route moves through places shaped by centuries of small decisions—walls rebuilt, paths rerouted, buildings added without clearing what came before.

The value of this walk lies in its attention to detail. Street names, building angles, old signage, and uneven paving all become clues to how the city has changed. Isabella doesn’t follow a script—she responds to place, offering a way into Rome that feels both informed and personal.

Enjoy exclusive, out-of-hours access to two remarkable architectural works: the most intimate way to experience Luis Barragán’s legacy.

You meet your Barragán expert at Casa Estudio Barragán, the architect’s own residence. Completed in 1948, it’s a composition of color, light, shadow. The home feels like a living artwork and still hold Barragán’s furniture, tools and the quiet he designed for himself. It remains the only private residence in Latin America designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Casa Gilardi, from 1976, was Barragán’s final masterpiece. Built around a jacaranda tree, the house embodies his belief that architecture should inspire emotion and contemplation. It distills a lifetime of vision into a poetic structure where modern geometry meets spiritual calm.

At both locations, enjoy a private tour during hours reserved solely for you—a unique way to experience the spaces in tranquility. A lunch featuring classic and inventive Mexican flavors completes the experience.

Luis Barragán’s architecture responded to the cold rationalism of Modernism with vivid color, emotion, and light. Deeply influenced by the Mexican landscape and tradition, his work evokes spirituality through walls, water, and silence.

This experience allows you to visit two of his most celebrated houses at a time reserved entirely for you, led by an expert who has worked closely with these properties for many years. You’ll be able to move at your own pace and dig deep into Barragán’s influences — how he insisted that architecture must express serenity and transformed materials into spaces of grace and reflection.

This experience has a 10-day booking cut-off period to provide exclusive access outside public hours. Lunch with Andrea follows the visits — a relaxed opportunity to reflect with a seasoned art curator on what you’ve seen, and to talk about Mexico City’s art and architecture scene, from exhibitions to restaurants and contemporary design projects.

This experience offers travelers an intimate way to experience the Valencian landscape that has shaped its many traditions and flavors. Guided by Valeria’s local insight and cultural expertise, your day begins with hotel pick-up in Valencia city, followed by a brief stop at the iconic City of Arts & Sciences, a major landmark reflecting the city’s contemporary identity.

From there, you travel to Albufera Natural Park, the birthplace of paella, and a protected landscape of rice fields, wetlands, and tranquil waters. Weather permitting, you enjoy a guided visit around the park before meeting a local boat owner for a relaxing, private ride across the lagoon.

In this unique lakeside setting, you are served an authentic Valencian paella, freshly prepared, allowing you to experience the dish in the place where it originated. After the experience, you return comfortably to Valencia.

** Please note that elements of the day may be adjusted depending on weather conditions.

Albufera Natural Park lies ten kilometers south of Valencia, a protected wetland where rice fields meet open water behind the Dehesa del Saler sandbar. Paella’s origin stories point to this setting: farmers cooking rice in the fields with what the land provided. The lagoon’s edges remain working landscapes — fields, canals, and seasonal labor shaping what ends up in the paella pan.

Meeting a local boat owner and gliding across the lagoon — where you may encounter diverse birdlife — adds an intimate dimension, offering access and perspectives travelers would rarely find on their own. Valeria will explain the ecological, historical, and cultural importance of the wetlands, the rice varieties grown here, and the environment essential for authentic Valencian paella.

Meeting point in Porto city center - if your hotel is at the city Center, Diogo will pick you up at your hotel. 

Guided by a local gastronomy expert, this tour offers an in-depth exploration of Porto's culinary delights and cultural landmarks. Your host's knowledge and passion for the city's food scene make this experience both enlightening and enjoyable.

A full-day passage from blue-agave rows to the tasting table in the Tequila Denomination of Origin. You depart Guadalajara by luxury SUV in the morning for the Lowlands — Tequila, Amatitán, El Arenal — where warm days and volcanic soils shape the plant. Breakfast sets the pace (gorditas, barbacoa tacos, café de olla). 

In the fields, your host tells you about the rows (age, brix, ripeness) and demonstrates the "jima" with the "coa". Two pre-arranged, family-run distilleries — Cava de Oro and Cascahuín (or comparable houses, subject to scheduling) — open their floors for an unhurried walk-through: ovens/autoclaves, milling, open vs. closed ferments, cuts, stills. In a private cellar, you taste seven premium tequila and mezcal expressions — learning to link aromas and texture to process. Lunch later is regional (birria, enchiladas, sopes, alambres, salsa, paloma). Stroll through Tequila’s historic center — mariachi in the plaza — and then, a comfortable ride back to Guadalajara.

This is a local's route into the soul of Jalisco. It’s designed for substance, authenticity and comfortable pacing over a scripted show. You'll go beyond the commercial routes to two artisanal, family-owned distilleries. One is known for its heritage, craftsmanship, old-school methods, earthy/peppery valley character; widely respected by agave nerds. The other is a benchmark in artisanal tequila with an exceptional process. These are true Mexican projects rooted in tradition and passion.

Guided by accredited experts, you’ll walk through stunning agave fields perfect for photos, learn about production techniques, and taste premium tequilas in a private setting. Along the way, you’ll eat Jalisco specialties like a local and see the magical town of Tequila, where the streets are alive with song, color and tradition. 

Logistics — private transport, timings, menus — are handled end to end so your attention can focus on the work, the culture, the people, the spirit.

Giancarlo works in tequila culture from farm to glass. He leads high-end experiences through the agave fields of Jalisco and develops premium tequila projects — from liquid profiling to brand creation. Trained in science, craft and branding (with a Master’s in Tequila Production), he balances fermentation know-how with clear, grounded storytelling across cultivation, roasting, distillation, and tasting. He shares hosting duties with a small team of tequila specialists who are passionate about Mexico’s heritage, many with advanced training in tequila production. Together they offer context on how fields are managed, how profiles are built, how small producers keep tradition alive — and arrange respectful access to artisanal distilleries. 

Take a guided walk through Guadalajara’s most vibrant quarters—Chapu and Americana—where design, culture and cuisine meet in harmony. Known for their mix of historic architecture, creative spaces and lively street life, these neighborhoods have gained international recognition as hubs of contemporary culture.

You’ll start at a local spot serving some of the city’s best cazuelitas, classic Mexican finger food. The owner will share the history behind the dish and stories from Mexican culinary tradition. Next, your host—a long-time Guadalajara local—will guide you through the area, sharing cultural insights and context. Along the way, you'll visit standout design and art shops, including Galería Adentro, where the curator will offer behind-the-scenes insight into the gallery’s collection and exhibiting artists.

The experience ends with a drink and aperitivo at a place known for pushing the boundaries of local cuisine. It’s one of the best ways to connect with the city’s creative pulse. 

Curated by a fashion artist rooted in experience design and sociocultural story telling, this journey offers a deep dive into the city’s living canvas through conscious style, local flavors and immersive encounters. 

Far beyond a typical city tour, this experience invites you to truly connect with the people, spaces and stories that shape Americana and Chapultepec (known locally as Chapu) today.

Drinks and food will be chosen not only for their authentic Mexican flavours, but also because they are examples of how gastronomy has transformed and been innovated in recent years.

Athens is a place where ancient history and everyday life meet at every corner. From marble ruins to modern murals, the city is layered with memory, myth, and movement. This three-day itinerary invites you to experience Athens not as a checklist of monuments, but as a living conversation between past and present. Through guided encounters, sensory discoveries, and sacred pauses, each day opens a different door to the city’s many lives.

DAY 1 – HISTORY IN GRAFFITI AND STONE | Begin in Kerameikos, Gazi, and Psyrri, where the streets pulse with creativity and protest. The Urban Canvas of Athens takes you through layers of mural, message, and meaning, ending with a hands-on workshop and a piece of your own to carry home. Then head to the National Museum of Contemporary Art to explore bold works that question the narratives of history. End the day at the Acropolis, but from a different angle: walking the lesser-seen paths of the hill that shaped the Western world. As the sun sets, dine at Point A with the Parthenon glowing above.

DAY 2 – MEALS, HILLS, AND MOONLIGHT | Start your morning at the Varvakeios Market for a cooking class with a Greek local, learning to craft gyros and taste your way through spices, olives, and cheese. After lunch, wander through the hidden village of Anafiotika and climb Filopappou Hill for sweeping views of the city. Let the evening unfold with Under the Athenian Sky, an open-air cinema experience filled with conversation, food, and the quiet glow of Athens by night.

DAY 3 – RITUALS AND REVERENCE | Your final day brings you into rhythm with something older. In Ilioupoli, Cultivating Gratitude offers a guided ritual rooted in Demeter’s myth, the harvest, and the practice of reflection. Later, pause in the shade of the National Garden and witness the changing of the guards at Syntagma Square. End in Piraeus with Rebetiko, Red Lights, and the echo of old sailor songs. Between bites and melodies, you’ll feel the weight of memory, celebration, and time.

This journey is not about rushing ruins. It’s a curated immersion, shaped by texture, taste, silence, and spark. You’ll leave Athens not just with photos, but with a piece of the city imprinted on your pace, your palate, and your way of seeing. Three days in Athens. One city. Countless echoes.

WHERE TO STAY IN ATHENS | When it comes to where to stay, Athens offers neighborhoods for every travel style. Plaka is charming and close to ancient sites, while Psyrri and Exarchia are full of life, street art, and cafés. For a quieter stay with Acropolis views, Koukaki is a great base. And if you’re looking for sea breeze and space, consider Piraeus for a local feel near the coast. Choose what fits your rhythm.

Seville in Shadow and Light is a five-day journey into the city’s most enduring expressions of faith, artistry, and tradition. From the soaring vaults of its Gothic cathedral and the archives that shaped an empire to Andalusian crafts, flamenco’s living pulse, and the quiet elegance of noble palaces, each day moves deeper into Seville’s character. Guided tours and workshops are paired with flexible explorations, inviting travelers to experience the city not as a checklist but as a rhythm of devotion, creativity, and daily life.
DAY 1 – ARCHIVES AND CATHEDRALS | Begin with a guided tour of Andalusia’s sacred crafts, where devotion and artistry meet in unexpected forms. In the afternoon, visit the General Archive of the Indies before stepping into Seville Cathedral. End the day climbing the Giralda tower at your own pace for sweeping views across the city.

DAY 5 – BULLS, TRIANA, AND THE RIVER | Travel into the countryside on a day trip to a historic ranch that preserves the heritage of the toro bravo, with insights into Spain’s most emblematic animal.

Madrid to Porto Between Lands

A road trip itinerary from Madrid to Porto via Toledo and Galicia, blending culture, drives, locals.

This 7-day itinerary offers a layered introduction to Catalonia, curated by Fernwayer experience-maker and collaborator Manila DiMaira. A native of Sicily and longtime resident of Barcelona, Manila blends insight with a deep curiosity. Her suggested route balances the bold energy of the city with the slower rhythm of the countryside — from Barcelona’s cultural core to the vineyards of Priorat, the wetlands of the Ebro Delta, and the historic charm of Girona.
Begin with three days in Barcelona, where Manila recommends focusing not on checklists but on rhythm: explore historic neighborhoods, check out design ateliers, sample Catalan cuisine, and seek out the quieter corners still alive with local tradition. | Head south into the wine country of Priorat, a lesser-known region with rolling hills and medieval villages. Stay in Siurana, a cliffside hamlet with sweeping views and access to local winemakers. | Continue to the Ebro Delta, one of Spain’s richest ecological regions. Here, you can bike through rice paddies, watch migratory birds, and experience a side of Catalonia rarely included in mainstream itineraries. | End in Girona, a city of ancient walls, celebrated chefs, and architectural quiet. It offers a slower, more introspective contrast to the pulse of Barcelona.
This itinerary reflects what Manila calls the “true essence of Catalonia” — a place of cultural pride, natural beauty, and distinct local identity. Manila first arrived in Barcelona more than two decades ago, while finishing her studies in Rome. She needed an internship for her thesis and chose Barcelona without expecting how quickly she’d feel at home.“Barcelona, 22 years ago, was a different place,” she says. “It was less cosmopolitan, more local. I remember wandering through narrow streets and finding tiny bars with real flamenco. It felt genuinely lived in.”
 “Tourism has definitely changed things,” she admits. “Places like La Rambla are overcrowded. Many locals have been pushed out by the rise in tourist rentals. But Catalans are proud of their traditions. They’ve started resisting these changes to preserve the city’s character.” That character is what Manila has grown to love. “I chose Barcelona because I felt an immediate connection. The Mediterranean lifestyle, the weather, the proximity to mountains and sea — it feels like home but also stretches me outside my comfort zone.” She relishes the contrast to her native Sicily. “I can take a train and be skiing in the Pyrenees in just over an hour. Where else do you get that?”
What keeps her in Barcelona is the balance of tradition and openness. “The cuisine, the olive groves, the vineyards — they remind me of southern Italy, but they’re uniquely Catalan.” And the city’s connectivity has made it easy to stay rooted while maintaining close ties to Italy. She speaks with admiration about the people: “Catalans are proud, resilient, and united. They have a strong sense of identity and community. Whether through demonstrations or cultural festivals, they come together. They’re efficient and organized, but also keep that relaxed Mediterranean vibe. It’s a unique combination.”

Continue to a high-altitude estancia for an open-fire asado paired with wines and stories about the ritual’s meaning. There is time to taste, to learn, and to take photographs with guidance from your host. Expect a generous day before the easy descent back to Mendoza.
DAY 7 – ARTISANS OF MENDOZA | Spend the morning on a guided visit focused on handmade work at Mendoza’s artisan market, meeting makers of gaucho leather, textiles, and fine crafts. Your guide helps with context and conversation, and may include a short stop at city boutiques for additional pieces. Choose something meaningful to carry home. Fly back to Buenos Aires in the afternoon for a final night or connect onward if timing allows.
WHERE TO STAY IN BUENOS AIRES AND MENDOZA | In Buenos Aires, Palermo suits walkers who want cafés, galleries, and late meals nearby. Recoleta feels elegant and central, good for quieter nights and classic architecture. San Telmo places you near markets and milongas with a short ride to the center. In Mendoza, stay in the City Center for easy departures and lively evenings, or choose Chacras de Coria and Luján de Cuyo for vineyard air and slower mornings.

Argentina

Tango to Andes in Argentina

7 days in Argentina: Buenos Aires to Mendoza with tango nights, wine, mate and asado in the Andes.

This 3-day Marrakesh itinerary is textured, elegant, and sensory—a journey through art, craft, taste, and tradition. It offers a lens into the city’s creative pulse—not just as a visitor, but through the eyes of artists, chefs, and cultural storytellers who shape its rhythm. Expect curated encounters, intimate spaces, and a balance of guided immersion and reflective stillness.

DAY 1 – ART & DESIGN LEGACIES | Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a guided visit to Comptoir des Mines Galerie and dialogue with a local artist shaping Marrakesh’s present. In the afternoon, explore the creative legacy of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent and wander the vibrant paths of Jardin Majorelle, where color, form, and botanical design meet in quiet harmony. End the day with dinner in a traditional riad—an atmospheric welcome to the city.

DAY 2 – SACRED RHYTHMS AND FLAVORS | Start early with Order of the Golden Triangle, a meditative walk through sacred geometry and spiritual symbolism in the old city. After lunch, explore the souks through the narrative lens of Heart and Souk in Marrakesh, then immerse yourself in Moroccan hospitality at Tasting Morocco, a hands-on experience at the Amal Center. As the sky turns golden, head to a rooftop above Djemaa El-Fna, where the city’s sights and sounds rise with the call to prayer.

DAY 3 – CRAFTS & CONTEMPORARY SPACES | Begin the day with A Hub of Moroccan Makers, a guided studio tour that introduces you to local artisans and their creative process, from traditional techniques to modern design. Afterward, take a quiet walk through the gardens of La Mamounia or spend time at your own pace. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed dinner at Le Jardin, a courtyard restaurant tucked in the heart of the medina.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

Marrakesh, Seen Through Art

3 days in Marrakesh exploring Moroccan art, creativity, cuisine, and timeless design.

This 10-day itinerary moves through Andalusia’s most expressive cities—Seville, Cádiz, Ronda, Málaga, and Granada—balancing guided experiences with time to wander. You’ll follow a one-way route from Seville to Málaga to minimize travel and deepen your experience. From Moorish palaces to Roman ruins and vibrant markets, this trip is an invitation to engage with Andalusia as a living culture. Along the way, you’ll find curated experiences, hotel and dining recommendations, and insights from two locals who know this region intimately.

Seville is your entry point—fly in and settle into a city where architecture, energy, and rhythm shape the streets. Visit the Alcázar, take a masterclass in flamenco’s quieter meanings, and explore hidden workshops in Triana. | Cádiz follows, and with it, the feeling of arrival into a deeper past. Here, you’ll walk seaside ramparts, taste freshly caught fish in local markets, and join locals for a casual tapas crawl. Don’t miss the Carnival, if your timing aligns. | Ronda offers slower breath and cliffside drama. With its sweeping views and old-world charm, this is the perfect place for a horseback ride, a visit to a family-run bodega, or a hike into the surrounding countryside. | Málaga, long overlooked, now leads with contemporary art and bold cuisine. | Granada, your final stop, gathers everything—Islamic architecture, Jewish heritage, Spanish tradition. The Alhambra is a must, but so are the Albaicín’s narrow alleys and the city’s soulful street corners.

Trains run between some major cities, but not all. To follow this route with ease, we recommend car rentals or arranged transfers between accommodations. Begin in Seville and fly out from Málaga.

Cádiz as a place of convergence: María José was born and raised in Cádiz, and her eyes sparkle with pride and nostalgia as she describes this ancient city where history, culture, and the sea converge. It’s a place where stories of Phoenician sailors, Roman conquerors, and Moorish poets are continually retold. Reflecting on her childhood, she recalls the close-knit neighborhood where people relied on one another. Carnival—an annual February tradition—was central. Lucía remembers it too; her grandmother was a seamstress who hand-stitched elaborate costumes each year. 

The essence of Andalusia, María José says, is best experienced not through spectacles, but through shared moments. Conversations in taverns. Crafts passed down through generations. Hospitality that’s unforced and real. Strangers are often welcomed like friends—invited into homes, kitchens, or village fiestas. Here, you’re never just an observer.

There’s growing interest in pairing cultural travel with nature, wellness, and gastronomy. Think horseback safaris, slow treks, and olive oil tastings under ancient trees. For María José and Lucía, true luxury is about access to spaces and stories that are otherwise closed to tourists: a private sherry tasting in a centuries-old bodega, a sunset boat ride in Doñana, or a morning spent with artisans in a whitewashed village. This is the Andalusia they want travelers to know.

Italy: Canals to Colosseum

7-day itinerary across Venice, Florence and Rome, an iconic mix of history, culture, art, and food

From ancient medinas to soaring mountain peaks, this 7-day itinerary in Morocco begins in the heart of Marrakesh and ends high in the Atlas Mountains. A full week of cultural contrasts, spiritual traditions and modern art, plus rooftop sunsets, hands-on cooking classes, vibrant souks and quiet trails. Each day balances immersive experiences with time to explore independently, inviting you to see Morocco through the eyes of artists, chefs, guides, and storytellers.

DAY 1 – MEDINA FOUNDATIONS & ROOFTOP VIEWS | Begin in the heart of the old city with The City of Seven Men, a walking tour that weaves together faith, folklore, and Moroccan tea in a local home. In the afternoon, visit Bahia Palace, where carved cedar and painted ceilings reflect Marrakesh’s opulent past. As the sun sets, join Skyline Stories of Marrakesh, a rooftop journey through a thousand years of history. End the night over dinner at Le Foundouk, with views to match the mood.

DAY 2 – FLAVORS & FAITH | Spend your day with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm and generous cooking class in a private home. In the late afternoon, explore the remains of El Badi Palace, once a symbol of Saadian grandeur. As evening falls, experience A Gathering of Sufi Presence—a powerful blend of Hadra music, spiritual storytelling, and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Wrap up with cocktails and city lights at Dardar Rooftop.

DAY 3 – ART & ATMOSPHERE IN GUELIZ | Today is centered in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s contemporary quarter. Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a curated visit to a local gallery and studio meetup. Then discover the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent at the museum, followed by a stroll through the vivid and peaceful Jardin Majorelle in the Psychedelic Mirage story. Pause for shopping, cafés, or a relaxed dinner at Al Fassia, a Gueliz institution run by women.

DAY 4 – HERITAGE & STORYTELLING | Dive deeper into Marrakesh’s medina with A Thousand and One Crafts, a private walk through its hidden workshops and time-honored techniques. In the afternoon, visit the Mouassine Music Museum and the Photography Museum, both offering quiet insight into Moroccan life and creativity. End the day with 1001 Stories in Marrakesh, an intimate evening of storytelling, music, and dinner. L’mida rooftop awaits to close the day with vibrant flavors and city lights.

DAY 5 – SWEETS & STILLNESS | Begin your day with a heartwarming class at Signs & Sweets, where deaf chefs guide you through the art of Moroccan pastry in a café that empowers and connects. In the afternoon, pause for renewal with a traditional hammam ritual—an invitation to slow down and reconnect. End the day with a sensory feast in one of Marrakesh’s most atmospheric restaurants.

DAYS 6–7 – INTO THE ATLAS | Leave the city behind for a two-day trek into the High Atlas Mountains. Your guide leads you from the village of Imlil toward the summit of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Along the way, you’ll pass Berber hamlets, alpine trails, and star-filled skies. Spend the night in a mountain refuge and descend the next day with the stillness of the mountains etched into your memory.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

Marrakesh & the Atlas Way

7 days in Morocco from Marrakesh with an itinerary that blends medina life, culture and mountains.

The Dom Luís I Bridge and Gaia Cable Car are celebrated icons of Porto, representing the harmony of industrial ingenuity and aesthetic grace. This double-deck metal arch bridge, connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, alongside the adjacent cable car, offers a unique perspective of the city's landscape. Top 5 highlights:
1. The Dom Luís I Bridge, designed by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel, showcases a blend of industrial design and artistic elegance. Its metal arches and intricate structure stand as a testament to late 19th-century engineering.
2. The bridge's unique double-deck feature accommodates different modes of transport. The upper deck is reserved for pedestrians and the metro, offering panoramic views, while the lower deck serves road traffic, providing a closer look at the river's dynamics.
3. The nearby Gaia Cable Car complements the bridge, giving visitors an aerial journey from the riverbanks to the hilltops of Vila Nova de Gaia. This ride offers breathtaking views of the city, the Douro River, and the bridge itself.
4. The bridge is not just a transport link but a cultural symbol of Porto. It represents the city's industrial past and its evolution into a modern urban center. Its presence in numerous local festivals and celebrations highlights its importance in the city's cultural life.
5. For photography enthusiasts, both the bridge and cable car provide unmatched opportunities. The bridge's design against the Porto skyline and the aerial views from the cable car are perfect for capturing the essence of Porto's scenic beauty.
Tickets for the Cable Car can be purchased on site. The best time to visit the bridge and take the cable car is during the late afternoon when the setting sun bathes the city in golden hues. The combination of the Dom Luís I Bridge and Gaia Cable Car offers a memorable experience.

San Pedro de Atacama is an oasis within the driest desert in the world at the very north of Chile. At more than 8000 feet above sea level, it sits in the center of a ring of volcanoes, the most famous of them being Licancabur. A couple of them still spew smoke. 
🌋 | 🌋 | 🌋 
Volcano climbing, consequently, is a very popular activity here ('why climb the volcanoes?’ - I ask. ‘Because you can!’- says the guide) and we are quickly put on a 4-day program to acclimatize ourselves to the altitude - with progressively higher altitude hikes to prepare us for the final climb. My favorite part of the hikes is the opportunity to capture the colors of the altiplano! That and the thrill of walking through the Mars like topography of the Atacama desert. 
🧗‍♀️ 
Climb Licancabur if you are an experienced climber, Toco or Corona for one day climbs. And you will have bragging rights forever for having climbed a volcano!
