Translation of extremist in German

The places we have been to were very different from the one we saw in the other country. It looked less poor and much more orgnaized although not every one could tell the difference. Funny.
A year later we decided to make another trip. We have both been to Mexico and to Cuba, and the year before we were in South America, where we have visited several countries for five weeks.
The next morning we got up at 4.30. At sunrise, one hour later, a taxi waited for us in front of the hotel. He would take us on a 2 hours private sightseeing tour around Arequipa, just before traffic started.
