Huanchaco International Hotel

Firstly to fill you in on a very important matter I forgot to mention in yesterdays post...I HAD CLEAN CLOTHES :D I'd deliberately kept my i-to-i tshirt for now so it would be in a vaguely decent state to start with at least! And I had a clean pair of trousers so it was a happy day! Considering my current disgusting state of sweatiness and smell...

Vandaag zijn we op pad geweest naar las Huacas Sol y Luna (de tempels van de zon en de maan) en naar Chan Chan.Las Huacas del Sol y de la Luna was de eerste bestemming. Een mooie site in de bergen net buiten Huanchaco met twee tempels waar vroeger een stad tussen heeft gelegen. Dit alles was gebouwd tussen 100 en 700 N.C door de Moche, een zeer ...

ff bijkomen!!

De reisdag gisteren was langer dan verwacht. Uiteindelijk hebben we er ruim 24 uur over gedaan vanaf Vilcabamba in Ecuador (waar we ´s avonds om 20.00 met de bus vertrokken) tot de aankomst in Huanchaco gisteravond om iets over 20.00. Het zat hem vooral in de bus aansluiting in Piura....6 uur wachten tot we verder konden. ...

31 Décembre

Arrivée a Huanchaco apres un long périple depuis l´Equateur. Départ 16h de Zamora apres une journée dans la jungle, passage frontiere ridicule a 4h du mat´, changement de bus a Piura pour Trujillo dans la matinée, et arrivée a Huanchaco a 18h.
Par fatigue, je me fais voler mes lunettes de soleil et mon lecteur musique. ...

Another long Peruvian bus journey (and short cab ride) from Piura we arrived in the lovely beachside town of Huanchaco.

We spent a few days here enjoying the beautiful (albeit grey) beach, exploring the nearby ruins of the ancient city of Chan Chan, checking out the nearby city of Trujillo, lazing on hammocks in our wonderful hostel Nay...

Picking up from the last blog - I survived the big bday bash with dignity intact, but others didn´t. Chundering in the tent across sleeping bags, all your gear and your boyfriend didn´t go down too well...especially as it was the boyfriends bday being celebrated, nice! Quads were good and saw amazing sights up into mountains and the active volca...

Señoritas y Señores, bienvenidos a Peru!

Na 20u op de bus en 26u onderweg, zijn we aangekomen in Huanchaco, Peru. Het paradijs voor menig surfers en zonnekloppers.... Voor ons is het eveneens een verademing na zoveel uurtjes op de bus te vertoeven en na het Andes avontuur. Het waren zware uren van Cuenca, Ecuador naar Huanchaco, Peru, m...

Tuesday 20th October
Arrived in Chiclayo at about 5.30 in the morning and took a shuttle to another town and then a taxi to a museum where they have finds from the tomb of the lord of Sipan. I have seen a documentary, Around The World in 80 Treasures, where the old geezer came to this museum and also went to Chan Chan which was where I would...

Ola Chicos!

We arrived at the seaside vista of Huanchaco via taxi after the 8 hour bus trip from Mancora to Trujillo.  The bus trip was pretty uneventful ... although it was interesting to note that a guy stayed UNDER the bus with all the luggage!  Everytime we stopped I thought I saw someone get out from the luggage flaps under the bus t...

Later that day we paid a visit to Chan Chan – the largest adobe city in the world built by Chimu kings. I must admit that after leaving the bank, I did feel better even though I did not get my money back. Us getting to Chan Chan which was just outside Trujillo, landed up being a quite different sort of mission. Vanessa and Rosa warned us t...
