24 fun little hours to Lima
The road from Chachapoyas to Chiclayo is pretty hairpinny for the first few hours which is not so bad during the day but grim on the night bus. At about 3am our bus broke down but luckily the company had other one going the same route. As I was ...
Always Overlooking Poverty
My first impression of Chiclayo was that it was a city more afluent in comparison to the surrounding areas that I had seen- the city-center was solid rows of white buildings and fresh-swept sidewalk of banks, casinos, classy buffet-restauraunts, mobs of ...

Moche Culture
... a dump, a brown and dreary one, it is poor and the heat is scorching even at 8:00 AM. We anxiously boarded the bus to Chiclayo, after a one hour wait in the terminal. Chiclayo also has more than its fair share of dreariness and heat but it makes for an ...
Chiclayo
Another relatively short desert trip saw me in Chiclayo. The road was completely straight and there was nothing save the odd election sign in between. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of difference between Piura and Chiclayo, maybe Chiclayo ...

Mud and gold
Continuing our epic journey south we came to the relatively charming town of Chiclayo. Friendly (enough) locals and our first glimpse at Inca and pre-Inca cultures. Before the stone building Inca`s settled it was all about the mud or abode bricks - and ...
