Balkans and Latin America

Following a wise advise of a friend, we skipped the busy Montevideo and the touristy Punta del Este and headed to the hippy happiness of the virgin beaches. We stayed at a very lovely camping in a small settlement Valizas, where you could enjoy your breakfast with hens and geese walking around.

Uruguay - the happy hippy life in Valizas and the sand paradize in Cabo Polonio

Following a wise advise of a friend, we skipped the busy Montevideo and the touristy Punta del Este and headed to the hippy happiness of the virgin beaches. We stayed at a very lovely camping in a small settlement Valizas, where you could enjoy your breakfast with hens and geese walking around.



In the end of the stay the owner asked us to paint a flower on a flower wall in the truly hippy spirit. After some Youtube video search on how to paint flowers we finally created a master-piece :)

The weather was beautiful so we made our way to the beach and dunas, kilometers of sand and water without a single human sole, very touching and beautiful! Walking down the sea line we finally arrived to Cabo Polonio - a natural habitate of the sea lions. We could almost see them on the distance of a hand!
