Ops, back in the Navel of the World
This is a top pick! ... though, but who cares - it's a POOL! What a luxury!) I'd come to Arequipa for two main reasons, a) to see a bit of Peru's second largest city and b) to trek Colca Canyon and hopefully see a condor or two (well three reasons I suppose, also to head to ...
Early rise for the Inca Trail
Early start today in order to do the Inca trail. The Inca Trail is a walking route that leads through the mountains above the Urubamba river, following (at least partly) the course of an old Inca roadway leading to the city of Machu ...

Manu National Park
After a nice breakfast we went for 2hours downhill mountain biking. On the way we saw loads of different butterflies,... some of them as big as my 2 hands! Just beautiful. On the 1 hour flat road we crossed several little villages where they had Coca ...
Setting up for Salkantay
Note to tourists: Salkantay is no longer a trek that can easily be arranged with a mule driver for a small group. If you can carry all your own gear, which is ambitious as an understatement, you can conceivably complete the trek on your own, ...
Rafting
Rafting on the agenda today. Level an okay 2 to 3+ and I was not too impressed at the beginning but tame and all as it was for me, I ended up in the river before i knew it so that shut me up!! Pedestrian enough at the start but we hit some really ...

The 10 1/2 hour trek - Corimarca to Ancascocha
Now I wish I could say good morning but I am not sure it can actually be classed as morning yet! It is 3:30am and I have had just 2 hours sleep, my intention to head to bed at 8:30pm last night had not worked out for me, I had suffered all night from ...
Pisaq
Busfahren geht hier so: Los gehts in irgendeinem Hinterhof, Abfahrt ist wenn die Sitzplaetze besetzt sind. Und dann wird am Strassenrand noch jeder mitgenommen, bis die Tuer grad noch zu geht. Natuerlich steigen auch an jeder Milchkanne Leute aus. Und so ...

Our first Inca ruins
After Nazca we headed back to the mountains, towards the center of Inca territory. In the lowlands, we passed dry, barren mountains, save for some cactus, then lush green farmlands as we gained altitude, then high plains with just grasses, where we ...
A chegada em Limatambo
Acordei bem cedo para arrumar tudo para ir com Maritza à Limatambo. Me despedi de Bertha, pois sabia que sentiria saudades! Saímos de casa 8h00 da manha para o Paradero Arcopata. Lá, fomos até o ponto de Limatambo, onde um carro comum, do tipo ...
I feel like I´m on a ship, but it´s only Cuzco!
... isn´t that big anyway, only about 400,000. - saw a small political rally in Lima on the way to the airport yesterday (Peru has a general election in about 9 days). There were about 100 protesters, and about 150 riot police with big guns and those ...
Cuzco
Best place yet in South America. Set high in the Andes and surrounded by green mountains Cuzco is a smashing example of Spanish colonialism at its best. The town square is a magic with a huge ornate cathedral thing to one side and cloistered ...
Staggering around the Sacred Valley...
Hi everyone We have been busily exploring the Sacred Valley this last weekend, and I´ve also had the Peruvian death flu that seems to have struck down every second person here! Am taking a couple of days off work to try and recover properly before ...
Paro agropecuario y caminos cerrados
Al salir de la Reserva Amazonica por la maniana supimos que el sector agropecuario de la zona del Valle Sagrado se habia declarado en huelga por 48 horas. Esto significaba que no ibamos a poder continuar nuestro viaje segun se habia programado hacia ...
Machhu Pichu
I arrived at Machu Picchu on the 19th July at 6:00am and stayed until 6:00pm. The plan was to see the sun rise but it was raining when I got there. Around 11:00am the sun came out and you could see the mist lifting quite quickly around the ...
Cuzco
Cuzco - The Inca Capital. A beautiful city to knock around for a few days as long as you dont have a travel bug! Still here are some photos of the big Spanish Colonial square. They basically killed everyone, knocked down the Inca city and used the stone ...
We begin our trek
Day one- this trek will entail some early rising- today started at 4:00 a.m. so we would be ready to meet Juan Carlos, our young Qechua guide for the Salkantay hike at 4:30 for the bus ride to Mollepata. Juan Carlos (or Carlito) had met us the night ...
A walk in the park (to Machu Pichu)
... . The route we chose was called the Sakantay trek and ran roughly 80km (roughly 20km per day) from Mollepata (near cuzco, peru) to Agua Calientes (in english `Hot water` named after the thermal springs that the town was built around... you are ...
Salkantay Day I
... . The reason why we had to get up so early was becoz today we’d leave for our 4day Salkantay trek . I remember looking at Serge’s Peru pics last year & that made go and buy a lot of blankets (ha ha). We were eager (well, me a bit more than ...
MACCU PICCU ES EL MEJOR PAIS EN EL MUNDO
... to get a ticket for the bus to Maccu Piccu. I thought I would get the teacher discount for the bus, but considering the strike in Peru, being a teacher in was not popular! So it must have been good Karma because we were the LAST ones to catch the 12:30 ...
A bus ride from hell
Well, I guess I got what I wanted when I signed up for this trip. I thought it would be good to be outside of my comfort zone, and that is definitely where I am right now. This bus trip is my last in South America, and what a one to go out on. The ...
Cuzco to Salkantay Lodge
We rose at 5:30, packed our things, and had breakfast at the hotel. Raul met our group at 7:00, and we loaded our gear into the van for a drive west into the mountains and our first trailhead. As we drove out of the Cuzco valley, we could again see ...
Sacred Valley
What a fabulous day! Up early for a flight on Air Condor to Cusco. On the flight we could see the snow covered Andes from the window. We arrived in Cusco to bright sunshine and clear, blue skies. A wonderful change from Lima. Arturo ...
