Arequipa, Arequipa, Peru avi_einat... br><br>At first it's a little disconcerting as it arrives with its two large teeth but that isn't the most disconcerting thing about Guinea Pig.<br> It's the eye slits.<br> It's most likely the eyes explode as the flame from the grill licks at the moist surface but it's just as likely that welter away like sun dried fruit.<br> I couldn't help but think if when the eyes explode they spray juice onto the flames.
Chivay, Arequipa, Peru acidnam... lemonade. Needless to say, I didn't quite finish the salad (dangerous to eat raw vegetables in Peru anyway). All for $10. I love this country.<br><br>Tonight I begin the biggest stretch of bussing of my trip. From here, I´ll take a bus to Tacna, then cross the border to Arica, Chile, then take a bus from Arica all the way down to Santiago. It´s going to be a long couple days. <br><br>Hope everyone has a happy Halloween!<br><br>Hasta luego,<br>Dan

I told Al the story... and the cat came inot the room ...and then all night the alpaca was crying and making funny noises... I guess he knew he had done somethng wrong....<br><br>Funny... the alpaca and the cat... at rumi wasi...
Chivay, Colca Canyon, Peru nickiandal... grab some of the crowd up to get involved. You can probably guess which muppet got pulled up with much blushing. <br>As expected, people laughed, I danced like a horrendous European and could not wait for the music to finish. Shortly after, our guide mercifully brought us home with news of our 5 o´clock rise. That, along with the embaressment of my dancing efforts, were enough to get me off to bed sharpish.
Chivay, Colca Canyon, Peru escapingthenhs... awestruck by the power of nature. <br><br>I´d get up at 3;30am any day to see these amazing creatures, and we returned happy to the dusty wild west town of Chivay and ordered up a fried bready doughnut thing from the fat lady at the market..<br><br>Tomorrow we make a dash for the Nazca lines, before hitting the coast for a well needed break.<br><br>"The answer my friends, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind"<br>
Chivay, Arequipa, Peru alberto66... hike down took us 3 hours, it was surprisingly hard going with lots of shale under foot, slipping was a real hazard. We reflected at this point that the Health and Safety Executive would never allow such a route in the UK, at least not with guard rails! Same goes for the road on the way in!<br> As we neared the bottom we saw our first Andean Condor, they're huge and very majestic in flight, unfortunately I wasn't quick enough with my camera, so I ...
Cabanaconde, Arequipa, Peru trim_trimmerHola!!!<br><br>We arrived in Peru´s second city at around 7am following a really rough nightbus, I thought we were going to die by driving off the edge of one of the many cliffs we travelled along, Peruvian bus drivers, you gotta love em!!!!<br><br>The hotel in Arequipa was lovely, apparently it costs US$140 to stay there each night, so glad we booked as part of a tour!!! After unpacking we walked a few blocks to ...
Arequipa, Peru kmtour09... of the canyon there are springs where water seems to either seep or leap out of the rock. The whole vista is breathtaking.<br><br>We start the descent down a steep path that has large and very large rocks inhibiting our journey. It is ************ the legs and sometimes a struggle to keep our balance. However, we stop often as Pepe, our guide, takes the trouble to point out and explain everything of significance along the way. He tells us about one of the species of Cactus that the local ...
