An adventurous plane ride

Yesterday afternoon... it seems so long ago already, I've forgotten what we've done. Okay, we went on another nature walk, saw some more monkeys. 7 of the 13 species that live in the park. We also saw an interesting tree with a symbiotic relationship with the ants. The tree provides the ants with nectar, and the ants provide the tree with protection. They prevent animals from climbing it and vines from growing on it. According to Andres, the native people used to excecute enemies by tying th...

Cusco

I didn't write yesterday as there wasn't a whole lot to tell and we were just relaxing. We just stayed around the city. Case is quite ill. He suddenly came down with some horrible stomach ailment. At least his fever is gone today. Yesterday I had to leave him in the hostel while I went to explore by myself. I was hasseled a little more by street vendors than I was when with him, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. Cusco is beautiful. Case isn't quite as fond, due to the food poisoning, but I'm ...

Oosq'o

... br>
Cusco (Oosq'o - Quechua) is a pretty city, with Inca-built walls lining, steep narrow cobblestone streets and plazas. Unfortunately, the city is absolutely crawling with tourists which means that every few steps someone is trying to sell you a post card, painting, massage or shine your shoes. This is an unfortunate detraction from an ...

Bad Altitude

... looking at the classic postcard view. (Oh, in the loo at the entrance, Andrew crossed paths - or should that be streams - with Charlie from our Galapagos group who had just completed the Inca Trail. Didn't see any others of the Gallypuss lot, despite some decent sealion impressions).

And the ruins really are simply stunning, set up in the mountains. Well worth the trip and well maintained too. After our tour, we walked to the old Inca Drawbridge (one ...

The 10 1/2 hour trek - Corimarca to Ancascocha

... of us so I tried to keep my spirits up but it was a strain. Thankfully our group had a solution for everything, Matt and Karolina presented me with a 5 hour energy shot, I looked at it and thought oh well, I'll give it a go.... Well done guys is all I can say and thank you so much, within minutes I was dancing, and I mean dancing, I jokingly ran past a few people in the group to demonstrate my new found energy and created a small trickle of laughter. I was now ...

Apparently though many Peruvian people keep them in rooms inside their houses and breed them for eating, normaly around 3 at a time.They come in different varieties and are also widely available in the North of Peru, although served a little richer than in the south due to the herbs and spices that they are marinated in. Roll on the North, and thanks to our fountain of knowledge waiter who had travelled ...

"I got a pain in my shest and I can´t breaf"

... when I got off the bus and the windows on the lower level were knocked out and there was a huge scrach along the side of the bus. This experience has made me rethink future bus trips through Peruvian mountains. Cusco was a charming city that used to be the capital of the Incan empire before the Spanish put an end to that and razed it to the ground. One of the main tourist attractions was an Incan wall that had surived and was still standing. It looked a little fake to me but I took ...

... has spread not just within Peru itself, but further field thanks to the opening of Peruvian restaurants around the world.

Its diffusion has been spurred on by various initiatives to promote the drink over the years. In 2003 the Peruvian government took a decision to actively promote it both domestically and internationally. This has been implemented through initiatives such as the stipulation that all entities representing the ...

First tour of Inca sites near Cusco....

... use alphabet soup to represent all the names of the people that are in the ceremony.

Needless to say the ceremony was very interesting and when Edgar asked us to say the names of mountains in the US to make the offering too, we chose the Laguna Mountains. So if there are no fires this year, you can thank us! =)
