My first encounter with Latin America was sweltering Santo Domingo in the mid-1980s. I felt like I had stepped into an old sultry movie; I haven’t been able to let go of the continent since. During and after my studies in Latin American Studies (Cultural Anthropology), I traveled frequently to South and Central America. I did research in the Dominican Republic, traveled extensively through Mexico, met the Indians of Guatemala. I made adventurous trips through Venezuela and Colombia and marveled at the colorful world of Ecuador. Then I spent 10 years guiding trips in Mexico, followed by several years in Venezuela, a country I still have a soft spot for. What an overwhelming diversity of nature and what amazingly sweet and crazy people! Eventually I lived in my beloved Buenos Aires and guided tours to rugged Patagonia.<\/p>\n
Back in Holland, it was obvious that I remained connected to this beautiful continent. It is great to be able to advise clients at Untamed Travelling every day who want to travel to Latin America. In this way, I always travel a little bit with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
