Biologist, entomologist, outdoor enthusiast, scuba-diver, birder and traveler from Québec interested in discovering the world and its wonders! I did my first oversea backpacking trip in 2018 following my master and I don't want to stop any time soon. I am mostly interested in ecology, national parks and thus natural WHS, but being a WHS hunter opens my mind to architecture, history of art, urban planning, industrial heritage and the epic history of the World!

My most impressive site: Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks, Göreme, Gunung Mulu, Los Glaciares, Machu Picchu, Rome, Tikal

Troy by Frédéric M

Troy (Inscribed)

Troy

I visited Troy in July 2018. Despite the fame, legend and mythical side of the site, I remember it as a rather banal archaeological site. I was taking part in …

Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve

I am an entomologist, both amateurly and professionally. This means that my job is to study insects, but that I also collect insects as an amateur out of passion. In …

Popocatepetl monasteries

I am afraid that this review will bring very little new information, as I visited the same two monasteries as most of the previous reviewers, la Catedral de Cuernavaca and …

Oaxaca and Monte Alban by Frédéric M

Oaxaca and Monte Alban

Hospicio Cabañas

When it comes to entertainment, I don't appreciate works full of good sentiments, stories that end well and feel-good movies. I like to be overwhelmed by powerful emotions turning into …

Central University City Campus of the UNAM

La Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) is a very (if not the most) important university in Latin America, and its campus is gigantic. I honestly had not realised how …

Aqueduct of Padre Tembleque

Like everyone else here, I visited this site as part of a day trip from Mexico City coupled with Teotihuacán. I solely visited the 66 (or 68 as the information …

Xochicalco by Frédéric M

Xochicalco (Inscribed)

Xochicalco

I visited Xochicalco on my Mexican trip in March 2019. Unlike other Mesoamerican WHS, this archaeological site does not stand out for its impressive pyramids or other major constructions. It …

Chan Chan by Frédéric M

Chan Chan (Inscribed)

Chan Chan

I visited Chan Chan on my 2020 South American trip. It is an impressive archaeological site from a great civilization. It is probably among the most important archaeological sites in …

Huascaran National Park

When reading about Huascaran before my travel, I learnt three important things:

1. Those mountains look incredibly beautiful.

Grand Pré by Frédéric M

Grand Pré (Inscribed)

Grand Pré

I visited Grand Pré with my family in August 2019 during our WH trip to Nova Scotia. We came from Amherst (our base for Joggins) and headed next to Lunenberg. …

Santa Ana de los Rios de Cuenca

I visited Cuenca (how it is called in Ecuador) in February 2020. I spent a full day walking the city with some locals I met as my guides. I found …

First things first, I LOVE cemeteries! I think they are the perfect blend of history, art and nature. I love how peaceful they are and how much they reflect the …

Wineries and Vineyards for traditional Pisco Produ

Let's make a couple of things clear first. I don't really like wine and never tried pisco before this visit. I considered pisco being of national importance without OUV. It …

Kornati National Park and Telašćica Nature Park

The Kornati archipelago lies off the coast of Croatia. I visited it on a full-day boat tour from Zadar (I actually believe that visiting the archipelago is the only reason …
