This is a top pick! ... Our day just got 10 times better :) So, here we are, in Punta Sal, which is situated on the northern coast of Peru, between Mancora and Tumbes. A perfect location, because it means that the bus journey across the border into Ecuador will only be a teeny ...

Hurts So Good...
This is a top pick! ... . I have heard it lots lately on the radio, and also watched the music video several times on TV both in Bolivia and here in Peru. Considering it being a hit from 1982, it has taken a few years to travel down here (maybe it is just well traveled and are ...

Mummies, Canyons, and Condors in Arequipa
This is a top pick! ... I was in a warehouse. I finally got up around noon and headed out to see the city. Arequipa is a town in southern Peru that is known for its strong regional pride and political activism. The people here seem to have more province pride than national ...
Bald dogs and funny biscuits
This is a top pick! ... once you've eaten them) and 'English Toffees' which have a picture of a Scots Guard on the front. I'm sad to leave Peru, I really liked it when I was here in the south last year. Peruvian people are friendly, small, and interested in where you're from ...
Salkantay

This is a top pick! Ok, this keyboard is really crap but Ill give this a shot. Getting used to life in a disaster zone takes some time, but we are making good progress. I (John) have spent most of my first week in Pisco and the surrounding areas doing demo work on ...
Altitude and Alcohol - what a mix!
This is a top pick! Alex: We rounded off a 14 hour bus ride walking around Cusco (3326m above sea level) trying to find a nice place to stay as we will be here for 5 days before heading out on the Inca trail - after about 5 places we were so knackered and out of breath we ...
A March to Picchu
This is a top pick! OK, the secret's out. We’re back in Australia. "But your blog says that you’re just about to go to Machu Picchu?" you doth protest. Those of you who have been following this blog know that we were playing a game of catchup with our posts, ...
The Inca Trail (Day Two)
This is a top pick! I much prefer the name Warmiwanusca to Dead Woman Pass!!! That`s what we were facing today. At a height of about 4200 m, the biggest challenge today involved overcoming the first of three mountain passes on the trail. As a whole, it took our ...

This is a top pick! ... and un medio plato, I am brought a whole new massive bowl of soup, which of course I can not eat. Another culinary delight from Peru is he aji, pronounced ackckkckckjjjiii. Like the dahl bath in Nepal, it is different everywhere you go, and they have it ...
The effect of Drugs
This is a top pick! Tuesday May 3rd 2005 The six hour journey to Nazca turned into 8 hours, so basically spent all day travelling and didnt arrive until dark, in this small town. Went with a tout to an average place, and booked our Nazca lines tour for the following ...
The Machu Picchu trekking saga
This is a top pick! ... a day of tramping on dirt roads that we share with the occasional car or a horse, however, I am unconvinced trekking is the best Peru has to offer. We arrive at the first camp in a valley surrounded by snow picks and a glacier in the foothills of Sulkanty ...
The deepest canyon in the world...SMASH!!!
This is a top pick! We got a knock on the door at 4.45am as promised (oh god) and we quickly packed up the stuff from the hot springs that had supposed to have been drying over night but we ended up putting still damp clothes in the ruc- sacks god knows what that was going ...
Circumnavigating the lake!

This is a top pick! ... our stamps, we got stamped out of Bolivia in about 10 minutes after being told to change queue about 4 times. We walked across into Peru and found the queue was hundreds of metres long it was huge. Thankfully in a group of 5 there was plenty to talk ...
Wheres Paddington?
This is a top pick! Friday April 15th 2005 Some sleep on the bus, but wake up when we pass through what looks like a horrible town - I think Juliaca - I know its dark, which never gives a good impression, but this city, with its wide streets but narrow road, where the ...

This is a top pick! ... again. It's so great we can get together like this! So what's up? Oh, actually, tell me later, when I'm not paying... So Cuzco, Peru, what to say, what to say? It's got us up in the ol' altitude again, making the mission of a hike up to our hostel ...
