Pearl Islands Archipelago, Panama, January 2022

I am now back to work, fully recharged after a week off in the Pearl Islands Archipelago (south-east of Panama City, the Pacific Ocean).

The break allowed me to rest (which I needed badly after last travels to Brazil and Argentina), but also discover an amazing part of Panama (see pictures at this link; a part of 'Panama in 2022' album).

Now as I am back, I am facing new challenges. Fires and drought in Paraguay and Argentina, landslides in Ecuador, and the new wave of Venezuelan arrivals to Chile are the main issues that I am trying to deal with, but not the only ones.

So far, I am programmed to travel to Paraguay at the end of February, but this being written, with the humanitarian situation changing so fast, I may need to alter the plans accordingly at the short notice.
