Surprised by Lima
This is a top pick! Arrived in Lima around 6 am - little later than expected but definitely had been able to get a few hours of sleep on the bus. Felt ok. What was so great is that I had a driver meeting the bus - wasn't sure if he would still be there as we ...

This is a top pick! ... 32 km hiked. 4 gruelling days. All ending with 1 memorable moment... Machu Picchu! Before coming down to Peru, I knew I needed to hike the infamous Inca Trail. Itīs perhaps one of the most reknowned hikes in all the world. After ...
reflections of Cuzco....
This is a top pick! ... the plaza, there are the more stereotypical tourists, but they're from all over the world, and appear to be mostly from Peru or Argentina...there are surprisingly few from the US. The food here is diverse....we've found some great restaurants...even ...
Condor-man
This is a top pick! Sadly we had to move to a new hotel today. I could easily stay at the one we were at for a good week. In comparison, our new hotel... now in the provincial capital of Chivay... is the worst of the worst. But the hot water bottles they give you before ...
Inca Trail (Day Three)
This is a top pick! Although it's not as gruelling as climbing Dead Woman's Pass, day three of the Inca Trail is the longest. With coca tea in hand, I arose to a gorgeous sunrise over the valley. With such beauty before me, I was confident today would be a lot more ...
Arequipa
This is a top pick! Ahhh...just wrote a blog about Arequipa and lost it......ahhh - so all you get are photos and a little bit. Josie and I flew from Lima to Arequipa - were met by a guy holding a card with my name on it. Wow - this is easy. Beautiful city ...

Last stop in Amazonia....
This is a top pick! We decide to stay an extra couple of days...it's too relaxing and beautiful...hammocks on the porch...quiet, isolated, all good except for the mosquitoes. Our friends David and Sandra, head out...we've got the place to ourselves...except for the ...
Building Friendships on Titicaca
This is a top pick! Josie and I have been following the directions of the various tour guides in each city - we have been met at each airport, bus station, train station and it had seemed to work well without really paying much attention to the tour schedule. ...
1 year after the earthquake in Pisco
This is a top pick! ... , which is about 3 miles south of Pisco. As most of you are aware, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit Peru last August with the epicenter at Pisco. DUe to the strength of the earthquake, the whole town was practically leveled to ...
killer catfish....
This is a top pick! Let me tell you, I have a whole new respect for catfish. Frank and I head towards the smaller stream to do some fishing. I haven't done much fishing in my life and I can't see fishing just to impale the animal on a hook and then throw it ...
Lazy day in the hotel before flight
This is a top pick! Just having a lazy day at the hotel before we head out to the airport early evening. Breakfast was very nice and now we're chilling in the business center. I did notice that my leg took a few steps backwards when we got to Lima, probably the change ...
Back in Cusco (Machu Picchu story)
This is a top pick! Ok back in Cusco at the same hotel as 2 days ago. We left our luggage here and just carried some overnight packs to Aguas Calientes. Aguas was pretty different: No vehicles... Oh no cars you say... no... NO VEHICLES WAHTSOEVER!!! The train ...
1st week continued....Day 5 & 6

Journey home adios South America 6 Dec - 9 Dec
This is a top pick! ... seat left but I managed to get one, and although it was cloudy we still got to see ice capped mountains. I need dollars as in Peru there is a domestic departure tax of $5 and $30 for international, they charge you to get into the country too! Lima ...
Driving with Jesus
This is a top pick! Sea lions, penguins, distilleries, sand boarding, and dune buggying in one day is a lot. Thatīs why Iīm so dang tired. After spending the night in Pisco, we left the hotel at 7am and took a mini-bus to the pier in Paracas. Destination: The ...

This is a top pick! What a day!! Dos misas en un dia. Not my usual type of day but first, the 7AM service in the illustrious church on the central plaza...a chance to see the church in action, serving it's community and somehow be a part of it. Then it's ...
Day in Cusco

Off to Puno - barely...
