In front of a famous waterfall

Taquarussú (Brazil) Cachoeira da Roncadeira (map)

Monday, 26 October 2015

When I stand once again before a famous waterfall I will know that I am a tourist and not a traveller – even if the difference between the two is not entirely obvious to me. Going sight-seeing is part of the rituals that tourists perform to ensure that they use their time and the place optimally and that their trip is a success. The traveller, on the other hand, is perhaps characterised exactly by the fact that he misses seeing the highest waterfall, the oldest church, and the best churrascaria. For me, in any case, being on the road is especially moving when nothing recognisably extraordinary in my immediate surroundings occupies my attention.
