Travel Blogs from Lima, Peru
Collpa
This is a top pick! In the last week of camp we took a trip upriver into the reserve zone itself to visit a couple of the collpas there and to do some bird watching. We left a day later than expected due to problems with the booking of the tourist boat to pick us up (since ...
Lazy days at the Lake
This is a top pick! Towards the end of phase once most of the work was done the group split into two groups and went to visit an ox-box lake at the lodge where the boys go to play soccer every Sunday. I was in the first group to go and once at the main lodge we met up with ...

This is a top pick! ... were shut and we were taxiing down the runway! Thankfully, with no further hassles, we made it to 'Hostal Inca's Palace' in Miraflores, Lima, where our request to have the same room as on our last stay was granted. It felt good to return to a ...
Out of the Amazon
This is a top pick! The question that needs to be asked is where to I start with this. I have no idea so am just going to ramble for a while until I figure out how to write this. Weīve emerged from the jungle at the end of our ten weeks in the Amazon and have returned ...
Is Seven Inches Enough?

Capital city
This is a top pick! Have spent three days in Lima, shopping for Christmas presents. Tried a Peru mall but didnīt try the Peru mall prices! So headed down the local markets for better variety and cheaper bargains. Walked along the ...
Arrived ALIVE!!!!
This is a top pick! ... so short on time now that we couldnt even go overland through Ecuador, so after getting up at 2am we jumped on a plane bound for Lima - Peru. Of course nothing runs smoothly and we had hassle at Bogota airport, they told us that we needed to pay $60 ...
Itīs been another one of those three ...
This is a top pick! ... work out yet another system and so a lot of time gets wasted - all part of the travel experience. So now Iīm in Peru, currently in Lima, heading to Puerto Maldonado sometime in the next couple of days before an 8 or so hour boat ride down the river ...
Bring on the heat! (But keep the tropical rains..)
This is a top pick! ... as people stroll casually around the town going about their business. Tour agencies abound but there are no street hasslers as in Peru. You can wander around each agency without any pressure. Jason and I "The Flashpackers" (so dubbed by a hostel owner ...
Other Wildlife
This is a top pick! Not all of the wildlife we saw at Bahuaja was mammalian or bird. One of the most common things we got to see where the insects, which were both constantly annoying (mosquitoes and sandflies) or amazing in their colours and diversity. The sizes of ...
Lima is alright actually.....
This is a top pick! ... and had a look at the view and the very posh shopping centre here Larco Mar which is a world away from the rest of Peru with chain restaurants and v expensive shops. Went into the Marriot hotel to laugh at the restaurant prices and then down the road to ...
Destination 2: Peru
This is a top pick! ... 'cos it was such a clear day and we got to see the Andes and Lake Titikaka where we'll be cruuising down in a few days! Arriving in Lima was a bit of a shock after spending a week in Rio - it's a lot colder for one thing, and a little less developed. The ...
Peru is Good

Machu Pichu
This is a top pick! Just survived the Inca trail and sheltering from the rain awaiting the train back to Cusco to rest up for a couple of days!! The trail lived up to all my expectations... including the rain!! The first day lulled us into a false sense of security with a ...
Life in Lima
This is a top pick! ... for a lot longer. This pleases the hostel owner, of course, as we suck more money out of them than they expected to budget for Lima. In the end, everyone leaves pretty damn happy from here. I am looking forward to my first visitor.. one of my old college ...

One more time.....
This is a top pick! ... Lima at 11 pm at night, we needed a place to stay. John had found us a hostel in one of the nicest parts of Lima, Mireflores. Aside from the spanish speaking man at the welcome desk, however, one would have no way of knowing that we were actually in Peru ...

My First Visitor
This is a top pick! ... won't regret. So what to do first in Lima? Obviously we shared a beer together. And then many more followed. Yep, I introduced Tim to Lima nightlife. But how do you explain to someone that comes from a place where the bars shut down at 2 AM that we don't ...
