📍Rio Serrano Hotel, Torres Del Paine, Chile

- by far one of our favorite hotels we have ever stayed in!

Just outside the park boundary Rio Serrano is an experience on its own! The floor to ceiling window in our room showed the sweeping view of the mountains and horses roamed freely! The pool and spa area were really amazing! Honestly, we were surprised to find this much comfort essentially in the middle of the remote Patagonia region. This was a hard place to leave and we will absolutely go back just to stay there 😀

Reminiscing the fall in Switzerland 🍁

We always wanted to go to Switzerland in fall to see some golden latches and it didn’t disappoint us at all! If you plan to visit Switzerland in fall, save this post for later!

✈️ When to go: Peak fall is normally between mid October to late October in Switzerland.

🌤️ Weather in fall: Weather was perfect for us in October. At the beginning of our trip the temperature was around 70°F and at the end of October it was a little chilly, around 55°F. Bring some layers and you should not have any problem.

✨ What to expect in fall: Switzerland was not crowded at all during fall. Some hotels or restaurants might be closed at the end of October but we didn’t face any issues.

🚗 Where to go to see fall color: St Moritz would be the best place to see fall color in Switzerland. We also loved the Zermatt and Valais region of Switzerland for fall color.

Would you visit Switzerland during fall? 🤩😍

Is this the most scenic view of the Oregon coast? If you think it is, ‘𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲' 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿! ✍️

✨ The ULTIMATE guide to SAMUEL H BOARDMAN STATE SCENIC CORRIDOR

Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is one of Oregon’s best-kept secrets. Okay, it might not be that much of a secret on Instagram, but because it’s located on the southwest corner of Oregon, not many people make it there. If you’re ever close by, we highly recommend giving yourself a couple of days to explore the area.

✨ Must see places –
- Arch Rock Picnic area (Mile 344.8)
- Thunder Rock Cove and secret beach (Mile 345.8)
- Natural Bridges (Mile 346.0)
- Indian Sands (Mile 348.6)
- Whaleshead Viewpoint (Mile 349.3)
- Cape Ferrelo Viewpoint (Mile 351.9)
- Lone Ranch Picnic Area (Mile 352.6)

📍 These pictures were taken on Natural Bridge. Don’t try to cross the bridge. There are multiple fatalities while crossing it. So please be careful if you hike to the bridge.
