Well, I have not done much Hiking this year as I said, but have done some lovely trips in nature that can also be considered hiking and fancied posting about them.

I’ve been to Brazil recently and been to Salvador in Bahia. From there, I took a boat that went to two islands: Frades and Itaparica.

The Frades island (picture above) is one of the most beautiful, untouched, natural and empty beaches I’ve ever seen. The island population is 60 people.

To take this picture I had to get out of the tourist restaurant and climb up a little hill, so it can be considered a hot “hike” under 41 degrees Celsius.
