One of my favorite videos on Columbia. Very authentic and „unaufgeregt“

Thanks!

Hi Viljami!! You certainly were in Paradise, and when this miracle happens, nobody wants to leave!! You'll like this small busy andean city but Guayaquil is huge and was very well kept when I visited. I guess you'll be going back home in the near future, so I wish you the best and hopefully you loved your visit to South America, Come back soon!

[@vipepics]

It sure was sad to leave Providencia behind! Yet, Ecuador has been remarkable place as well 👌 We still have a month left, so luckily a few more adventures ahead 🤟

[@katrina_levenets]

Wow! Thanks for the interesting and informative video. I liked watching this 🔥

[@vipepics]

Glad to hear! 🤟

[@keunicek]

Incredible. Love your videos! The narration and interesting facts weaved in are much appreciated. My partner and I just got our open water certification, and we hope to dive in Providencia one day! We are also planning to do the Huayhuash trek in the summer of 2024, so your other video on that was very helpful and inspirational. I hope you continue to document your awesome adventures. It's some of the best I've seen!

[@vipepics]

Thanks a lot, happy to hear you've enjoyed these stories! 🤙 Providencia is an absolute 💎 for recreational diving. Now, when it comes to Huayhuash, it will be both tough and probably one of the most amazing things you'll ever do (well, let's hope the weather is okay). Feel free to reach out to Angel from Waroma Eco Tours Perú, they organized our set very well. Cheers!

In August, My wife and I are going there! :D Thank you for the video!!

[@vipepics]

Enjoy!

I did this place 12 year ago and saw my first mantaray, however the dive shop was not so professional and gave us NO wetsuits. We saw no sharks. Did you go toMcBean Lagoon it's one of the highlights of the island.😊

[@vipepics]

Cool! I bet also this place has changed quite a lot in 12 years! At least Anda Di Wata diveshop was very professional and their equipment were in great shape 👌 🦈 We actually skipped the McBean Lagoon!

[@ddl_022]

[@vipepics]

Thanks! I use GoPro Hero 10 Black at the moment! 📸
