Peru Part 1: The Tip of the Glacier
... home about Lima (other than a good shopping mall carved into the edge of the cliff, and more grand architecture), we were happy to take a bus to our next stop; the much heard about and anticipated Huacachina (pronounced “whack a chee-na”).
Huacachina is one of the most memorable places I’ve ever been just because I’ve never been to a single other place like it. It’s a real and genuine oasis, a beautiful green in the middle of sand dunes ...

Rode for about 20 mins then ...
Cusco & The Inca Trail
... happened after 2 drinks..
Sunday we had a proper Sunday lunch at a place called The Real McCoy – roast chicken with all the trimming was very welcome. We decided on working it off by doing the walking tour in the Lonely Planet guide. Most of the places on the tour were shut as it was a Sunday but we made it to an ancient ruin site called Sacsayhuaman (known by the Gringos as 'sexy woman’) and Cristo Blanco. What an amazing place. We were there for ...
