Santa Cruz
On our journey eastwards in Bolivia, we soon come across the next big city: Santa Cruz de la Sierra. As always with longer distances, we make several stages out of it so as not to get into a driving frenzy. And there are other beautiful places to see along the way....
La Paz
After not knowing exactly whether we should enter Bolivia or not, we obviously decided in favor of Bolivia. A new country, new adventures, La Paz as the city with the highest seat of government in the world awaits us. We take a small border crossing from Lake Titicaca...
Lake Titicaca
At the end of our trip through Peru, we visit one last highlight: Lake Titicaca. Or is it not the end of our trip through Peru? At the moment, we are still a little torn as to whether we should continue from Lake Titicaca towards Bolivia or take the somewhat safer...
Arequipa
Welcome to the white city of Peru: Arequipa. There are different theories about the origin of the name White City. One theory is that this name is derived from the sillar stone often used for houses. Another theory is somewhat less pleasant and goes back to the...
Colca Canyon
The next natural attraction we visit is the Colca Canyon near Arequipa. The valley begins beautifully but not very spectacularly near Chivay and gradually eats its way deeper and deeper to become the third deepest valley in the world. The Colca Valley, or Colca...

Isle of Skye
The legendary and much talked about Isle of Skye is finally within reach! Today we drive over the Skye Bridge to the Isle of Skye and start our island tour. The good thing beforehand: We visit the Isle of Skye in October 2022 and this late in the year there are almost...
Pula
The main reasons why people flock to Croatia, especially in the summer, is the beautiful Adriatic Sea and the dramatic coastline in front of it. But while most tourists are drawn to the now world-famous city of Dubrovnik or the port city of Split, the Istrian...
Salzburg
Everyone who has ever been to Salzburg is enthusiastic about the city. For a long time it was on my bucket list and now we have finally managed to visit Salzburg. And we have not been disappointed! The birthplace of Mozart has a lot to offer, besides the numerous...
Haarlem
When someone tells you that he is going to the Netherlands, the first thing you think of is Amsterdam. But the Netherlands has a lot of other great places to offer and Haarlem is at the top of this list for me personally. I have fallen in love with the city and the...
Porto
Porto is not only a must for (port) wine lovers, the city has much more to offer. We were there in autumn with three colleagues and in this article you will learn why this is the best time of year to visit the port wine city and what the so-called Azulejos are all...

Who stands behind CompassChronicle?
We are Paddy and Mimi, a travel-hungry couple from tiny Switzerland in the middle of Europe. We call ourselves Slow-Travelers, because we like to spend enough time in one place or country to not only see the typical sights but also to get to know the culture of the respective country.
If you would like to know more about us, you can browse our about us-page.
Do you like our contribution to the travel community?
If you like our blog and you would like to read and see more of us, we would be very happy if you would like to support us. Often we sit for hours in coffee shops, write our blog, sort out pictures and edit them. That’s quite a large number of coffees together. Maybe you would like to buy us one or two?
