The Start of our Nightmare

Stopover in Juliaca
Caught the bus from Cuzco to Puno but demonstrations and road blocks meant we never got to Puno and got stranded in a place called Juliaca. Donīt think this is on the gringo trail. Itīs a really dusty, flat, dry town on the altiplano, about ...
BlockBusters

Copacabana - Cusco. Worst. Journey. Ever.
... looking a little uncertain. When we eventually left, it was on a local service so we were stopping at every town. We pulled into Juliaca and Jie, hoping we had enough time, dashed off to the loo. She needn't have hurried. An hour later we were still sat ...

Cusco-Puno Train Ride
The train ride from Cusco to Puno takes twice as long as the bus and is twice as expensive, but I figured it'd be worth it because I'm sick to death of buses and the train takes a beautiful route. There really was some amazing scenery, but I didn't take ...
Day Two-Lake Titicaca
This morning we had a nice breakfast at the hotel and then went for a tour of the Uros Islands with Daisy our guide. We drove from the hotel to catch a boat to the island. During our time on the bus Daisy provided us with some information about the area, ...
An interesting city pass-through
The train came to a halt here in Juliaca. Apparently, trains don't have the right of way. Cars kept going across the tracks. And if that wasn't enough, they have a market along the tracks. And can you believe they actually use the tracks to store stuff to ...

Juliaca, Titicaca, high on water
... , so every mile out is a mile back over the same turf, or a much longer trip than I had time and budget for. Juliaca is pretty basic, grungy and grimy, but Lake Titicaca is nice. We’re in Aymara country now, dark and superstitious, akin ...
Meeting an inspirational gentleman
Very uncharacteristically I was up with the water boiling on the campstove before the 6 o'clock alarm had even gone off. Kory wondered if there was something wrong with me but I was just eager to make a good start on our planned 140km cycle day. We ...
We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto

Lima flight to Juliaca
Arrive in Juliaca around 16:30 and grabbed a bus for Puno. Juliaca itself is unremarkable save for the altitude. At 3800 meters (12,500 feet) the thin air made me feel (ahem) a little bit like my parents after they climb the stairs to my apartment. ...
Sillustani
On prend un taxi pour Sillustani (35 soles pour 3, aller-retour). Arrivee la-bas, beaucoup de vent car le site se situe en hauteur et il y a peu d'abris. En ce moment ils refont la route pour en faire un lieu touristique accessible. On trouve a ...

Juliaca - Lima
Godzinne opoznienie samolotu nie zrobilo na nas wiekszego wrazenia. Samolot do Tarapoto odlatywal dopiero jutro. Bylismy wyspani, umyci i w miare najedzeni. Dzisiejszy dzien i tak mial byc organizacyjny: pranie, przepakowywanie, kupowanie biletu ...
In the Air to Cusco
