... and I felt that it had a lot to offer. I was not wrong.<br><br>The main attraction worth mentioning was the museum featuring the Ice Maiden, aka the mummy known as Juanita.

... cards in November, we had to make a few minor enhancements to our already effective budgetary tactics. One such measure is now - no more cama buses (i.e. no more flat beds/super comfy seats) even if they are only $4 more than the cheap ones. So, from the 110 Sole (+-$38US) for a cama seat we shopped around and found a 50 Sole ($17US) option. I think more details are unnecessary. The bus sucked. A lot.<br><br>Early morning ...

... international" guide chose to ignore him.<br><br>Rule number 1 of guiding in the mountains surely has to be to understand your client's capability and to listen to what they are telling you. Sadly, we learnt that our international guide was not only idiotic and ignorant but also stone deaf. <br><br>Even Louise at this stage said she had no energy and would be happy to turn back.

We made another stop off to pick up more passengers another half and hour later before finally arriving in Antifagasta.

June 22, 2009<br> <br> It takes about an hour to fly from Lima to Arequipa. We spent more time in the airport, than flying ! As the plane lands, we had a preview of Arequipa´s terrain ... the Andes, some snowcapped mountains, and what seems to be like endless desert. Big cactus plants sprout from dry and arrid land. It felt blazing hot as we got out of the plane. We were met by Max, the owner of the B&amp;B where we are staying. This couple was very ...

Arequipa is where our guide, Sonia, is from. It´s a beautiful little town and one of Peru´s mst important towns. We had a free day.
