Lima, the best capital yet
This is a top pick! ... City (and the weirdest airport of all time that doesn't even have a tourist shop or a coffee bar) took us into Lima, Peru. Initially we were just going to skedaddle down the coast, but Travis discovered while reading the guidebook that October 18th is ...
What a bloody flight!
This is a top pick! ... what the stewardesses and other folks sitting near us thought had gone on. After that, the flight was pretty uneventful and when we got to Lima, Ali was waiting for us with a taxi that took us to a rather cute Hostal in Miraflores. We had 2 days in ...
Out of the jungle
This is a top pick! It´s now been a month in Peru and most of that time in the jungle and so we´ve hit civilisation again for a day or two. And it has definitely been a chance to let our hair down and do some of the things we can´t in the jungle - like get clean and ...

Leaving Lima´s Ladrones
This is a top pick! ... . Farah and I caught the same plane to Lima, she was also heading to North Perú and Ecuador. After my near mugging in Lima last time, I really wasn't interested in hanging around, at least I had Farah to look after me this time! We immediately bought ...
Piscoed on Pisco
This is a top pick! ... , leg room, seat belts, hostess, lunch, and even Bingo, which was won by Señor Eastwood! A prize of a return ticket to Lima. Great excitement! Ica itself was a bit more disappointing, the museum´s two best exhibits had been "robberoed" a couple of ...
Go climb a tree
This is a top pick! Imagine spending dawn hanging from a rope 35m up a tree, looking over the canopy of the forest and that will give you an indication as to how the day of the three peaks challenge starts. The three peaks challenge was an challenge that almost happened ...
Random bits around camp
This is a top pick! Living in the jungle brought it's own set of interesting aspects, contrasts to normal life and unique features that made it into all that we experienced. From candlelit dinners becoming the norm rather than being used for romantic effect (with the ...

This is a top pick! ... , Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. We went back to the bed and breakfast we had stayed at previously called "Tradiciones" in a suburb of Lima called Miraflores. Our host Angelo made us very welcome again and on the second day took us in his car to a very ...
Lima....Yikes!
This is a top pick! ... afraid to talk at all! She was really nice and on a super expensive trip (we did feel a bit smug). Headed to the airport for Lima. Now, Lima isnt the best place in anycase, but on the bus at 1230 am to a hostel that may or may not be there -- it ...
Lounging in Lima
This is a top pick! ... and only 160 tourists are allowed on the 4 day trail each day, so I`m going to try and maybe go to Choquequirao instead. * Lima has the slipperiest footpaths - con cuidado when it is wet. * I don`t deal well with taxi drivers trying to con me early in ...

What A Mug!
This is a top pick! ... , instead all the different companies operate from their own base all around roughly the same area. My Guide Book said that Lima was generally a dangerous place but the bus station area was even worse and recomended getting taxis between each station. So ...
Mammal sightings
This is a top pick! Mammals are one of those things that everyone wants to see when they come to the forest, but they aren´t as easy to see or as frequently seen as the advertising would lead you to believe. But saying that we got to see more than just monkeys like some of ...

Paddingtons Pad
This is a top pick! Overnight bus arrived around 7am and a short taxi ride took me to a hostel in miraflores. After putting my stinky washing in and a couple of hous extra sleep I got a cab into town. The city doesnt really have a lot to offer a couple of squares and a ...
No more stairs!
This is a top pick! ... we were finally on our way to Machu Picchu. As the bus up the mountain was as overpriced as everything else here in tourist-trap Peru we decided to hike our way up. Well, it took us an exhausting two hours of walking up very steep stairs. The views were ...
River and Rainforest
This is a top pick! After the forest, the river was one of the most prominent features of life at Bahuaja, with it providing the water we needed for the kitchen etc, a place to wash and cool down, and it was the way we got anywhere else and how we got our supplies and ...
Lake Titicaca
This is a top pick! The day after we came back from the Colca Canyon we jumped on the bus to Puno, a city next to the biggest navigable lake in the world (3,810 m above sea level), Lake Titicaca. We got there alright, although it was over a bumpy road, and there wasn't any ...

People of Bahuaja
This is a top pick! So take an Irishman, an Australian, a Scot or two, a bunch of Poms and a couple of Peruvians for good measure, and throw them together into a jungle, then stand back and watch the entertainment. For more action add a Saturday night and alcohol, and ...
Cuzco
This is a top pick! Day 303 - 305 - Cuzco Cuzco, the Incan capital, is undoubtedly a pretty city with cobbled streets and dozens of examples of the stone work architecture that is the Incan trademark. I can't get out my mind though, how reminiscent it is of York or ...
