... the ancestral, colonial and modern cultures visiting the 3 different natural regions of Peru Vacations.

15 days of traveling in Peru is good enough to learn about the culture, costumes, national parks, museums, Andean mountains, hot springs, good food and the best hotels.

To make this tour is to taste the essence of a real meeting with the local people and an amazing contact with the natural environment of every place where our ...

... which is much smaller, reminiscent of Stonehenge and used for sacrificial ceremonies. I then walked back past Cusco´s Christo Blanco (probably better done in Rio) and then went to the Koricancha site in Cusco town centre that was closed the previous Sunday. This was very interesting as it explained with clever models how the Spanish Conquistadors pillaged the original temple and build an uninspiring church on the Inca foundations.

... gebräuchlichen Pfaden zwischen den Dörfern und Höfen Perus.

Nach 2 Pässen und einem ziemlich steilen Abstieg durch Gestrüpp, der auch unseren Eseln zu schaffen machte, erreichten wir Q'epu, wo wir von der Frau des Presidente und einer Kanne Chicha empfangen wurden. Chicha wird hier von den Familien aus Mais gebrannt, wobei 3 Brennvorgänge nötig sind. Der Alkoholgehalt ist ziemlich niedrig und das Getränk nützt gegen Durst und stärkt bei der ...

... It is really quite pretty, and many great photo opportunities. By this time, I am up to about 1,000 photos for this trip! And I still have over 12 days to go.

The streets of Sun Blas are nowhere near as steep as the Inca Trail, but every up`hill stretch burns in the muscles. The cold I have caught the previous night is also putting an additional strain on my lungs, so I have to take things a little slow. No matter, it is a free day and I am ...

... the use of wheels. No one knows how the Inca's managed to move huge rocks around, transfer them across rivers and raise them up hundreds of meters, however they did it and with true craftsmanship.

Surrounding the site there were many natural wonders, the very reason the Inca's had settled in Ollantaytambo, on one rock face there was a natural image of a god (sorry I can't remember the name of the god), who was said to look over the crops and protect them. There was also ...

... efforts on the Inca trail we deserved another day of relaxing in Cusco before heading off. We spent the next day catching up with friends we have met on out travels, we caught up with the Norwegians for lunch and enjoyed a couple of beers overlooking the Plaza. We then went out to this amazing restaurant called Fallen Angel for dinner with our tour guides from the Dragoman trip. The restaurant was an experience in itself and was just ...

... and she asked how I was feeling. And it is kinda cute when little kids/babies want to touch me or my hair. Or maybe they are just thinking ¨Wow! That gringa really needs to wash¨ Ignorance can be bliss...

Every day is an adventure but no one promised it was a gonna be a good one =(

... up to the 3rd pass (3,700m). The view from the pass offers excellent views of several snow-capped peaks including Salkantay (6,180m) and Veronica (5,750m). A few minutes after the pass is Phuyupatamarca, the most impressive Inca ruin so far. The name means ‘Town in the Clouds’. Access to the ruins is down a steep flight of stairs passing six ‘Inca Baths’ probably used for the ritual worship of water. Leaving the site via an impressive ...

... the Thursday morning around 5am, the Peru Treks bus turned up at our hostel. We left most of our detritus behind in their spare room and took the minimum recommended kit that we could cram into two small backpacks and one large rucksack.

We had a bit of a Goldilocks moment picking which of our rucksacks to use. Ewa's was a older design and the weight balance was a bit high, Wojtek's… well that was just huge, so we decided that mine would be the most comfortable ...
