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 ...
The Inca Trail or Trial? (Day One)
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 ...
A long way down
This is a top pick! From Arequipa one of the main attractions is the Colca Canyon, apparently the 2nd deepest canyon in the world (twice as deep as the Grand Canyon) although I'm not exactly sure how you measure these things. We decided not to do one of the many tours from ...
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 ...
Donīt rely on technology....(17-22 October 2010)
This is a top pick! ... really had no idea how many people would come. The SAE was set up 33 years ago and has clubhouses in Quinto, Equator, Lima, Peru and Buenos Aires. As a special offer SAE were offering half price membership and 2 for 1. We had prepared a punch and cookies ...
Lima
This is a top pick! 22 hours on the bus from Cusco to Lima, when one of those hours is spent watching the Smurf movie (in Spanish) you can count it as 24. It was a loooonnnnng and uncomfortable ride that had a promising start until we realised that only some of the movies ...
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 ...
Not the worlds greatest capital city
This is a top pick! ... we went for a 'fancy’ dinner in Chili’s. Roll on Chicken Wings, Fajitas and massive chocolate brownie desserts! Peru was playing Mexico in the Copa de America so the place was packed and it was entertaining for about 5 minutes when ...
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 ...
Without a paddle
This is a top pick! Our home for the next few days would be the Eduardo II. Unfortunately the Eduardo VIII was moored next to us but as it was not leaving for 2 days we got to spend the few hours before we set off with a bad case of boat envy. She was bigger, cleaner, had ...
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
This is a top pick! It is taking far too long to update this blog day by day, the computer at the hostal is very slow so am going to do a summary of the last few weeks, yes today is 24th September so this is my 2 week anniversary, it feels more like 2 months. Day 5 to ...
The Nauseating flight over Nazca
This is a top pick! Hello again, I think I am paying for it after the flight over Nazca lines, they were very dramatic but the ride was a nightmare nauseating experience.....just got off the small plane, still wanna puke...... ...
Holy Big Stones!
This is a top pick! Loved this town. Not far from the base of Machu Picchu - this town has it all. Really diverse ethnic groups - all who come into town to the thriving market - a kaleidoscope of colors and hat styles. The old girls sat outside the ...
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 ...
A quick update
This is a top pick! Iīm in Huaraz waiting for Happy Hour to start after a four-day trek through the Cordillera Blanca, in the Peruvian Andes. It was a lot of fun and I saw some things Iīve never seen before--huge glacier-capped mountain peaks, huge flat valleys, and a ...
Back to Lima
This is a top pick! ... . The result is massive violence, death, and massacre. The displays were very graphic and horrific. I canīt believe a beautiful country like Peru have been through such horror in just 10 years ago. For the afternoon, I went ...
the festivities begin...
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
This is a top pick! Wow! we spent today in Cusco walking around the Plaza De Armas, surrounded by 4 cathedrals and some amazing architecture. To our delight, there was the first McDonalds we have seen on the trip, so we stopped in for lunch before visiting the ...
Almost Picchu Perfect
This is a top pick! Once the tour was over we headed down to Aguas Calientes to meet Caroline. The rest of the group stayed up in Machu Picchu to look around some more but as we were coming back the next day we were looking forward to getting into a shower as soon as we ...
iīve just met a life-sized paddington bear!
This is a top pick! Well I made it eventually. It was quite a long and tiring flight. (14 hours flying time in total) A 2 hour journey to Madrid from Heathrow which was nightmare when I got to Madrid. Flight was delayed by 15 mins and only had a hour transit ...
Jungle Sam and life without electricity for 2 day!
This is a top pick! ... see if the town develops much over the years as the road links improve, especially the new bridge that is being built to link Peru and Brazil. We then headed back to the office and the other tourists were arriving. Marco didnīt come with he was heading ...
Off to Puno - barely...
This is a top pick! ... there was a yellow sign with a recognizable picture of a speed bump. Just as we were approaching the Bolivia/Peru border crossing (doing maybe 140km/85mph) I noticed a different sign on the side of the road...something about "velocidad" ...
