Hotel Costa Del Sol Cajamarca

... Inca. <br> The Incas were a powerful warlike tribe that controlled much of what is today Peru and Ecuador and they were in their prime around 15th century. During the last century of the Inca reign, their kingdom was dominated by one kingdom in the north and one kingdom in the south. Atahualpa was the king of the northern region, and his brother had the larger south. The brothers weren&#8217;t happy about sharing the power (when their father died, he gave ½ to each son) and, as both ...

To break up the long haul to Chachapoyas, I decided to stop in a little town called Celendin. When I arrived, there was a little craft fair going on just outside the Plaza de Armas. As I walked around, it looked like an elephant parade had just been through town, and all the elephants had terrible indigestion. The streets were strewn with piles of large ...

... of riches and resources.. So am I talking about Pizarro and the Incas or current president Alan Garcia and the natives who are fighting to protect their Amazonian homeland from petroleum exploitation? Does anyone read and learn from history? I wonder. Or is greed just so powerful in some people that they are so easily bought? I refuse to become cynical but it's difficult at times. The ...

... Leimebamba and Balsas is traveled very infrequently. Once we started out it was obvious why. The narrow, muddy road carved into the mountainside climbed steadily and precariously up this amazing landscape. This part of the road crosses the Black Mud Pass and then plunges (and I do mean plunges!) back down to the Rio Marañon and the town of Balsas where we would eat lunch. This valley reminded me very much of western Colorado: dry canyon and ...

we get on a bus midday...and thankfully i sleep most of the way as lukey admitts he was worried we were going to drive off the cliff a number of times on route. i drag lukey this way, as its the most adventurous way to get to keulap...a further 15 hours down road.... we spend the night half praying and half laughing at the route, and that tomorrow we have an equally as dangerous route along a slippery, narrow, cliff ridge .....

... into the heat has ovbviously done it good! i also visit cumbe mayo whilst lukey has a morning in bed. i hook up with a tour guide, and originally when we drive round the square for the 5th time picking up more and more spanish people...major deja vu! i think i wont understand the guide at all.... but thankfully as we set off and he rambles away in the typical, jovial , peruvian way, he turns to me and repeats everything in english...although i did understand quite a lot of the ...

Day 8 It´s funny the things you discover in this world. Like how to muffle the noise of explosive diarrhea with a pair of pants, at 4 o´clock in the morning. Sorry for the graphic detail of some of these blogs, but if you are gonna experience the highs with me, then I might as well inform you of the lows too. Who knows, you may come here some day inspired by what I´ve written and I don´t want you to blame me if I haven´t given you all the ...

Almost up to date... It´s a rainy day in Cajamarca so it´s perfect for catching you up on our trip. I´m sorry for not getting back to any of you guys that have posted comments and sent emails. The internet here is a bit on and off and well... it´s been busy and all. Anyway what happened next... We got the Linea bus station in Chiclayo on time, after exchanging some more dollars for sols. It´s about 3 sols to the dollar, and the banks ...
