A 10 hour bus ride with 4 (!) movies brought us up the coast, along the endless deserted coastline to Trujillo and we spent two days relaxing and visiting the old ruins that have been excavated.

One is Chan Chan, the biggest adobe city in the world, of which one temple has been more ore less fully excavated (they built a new one every ti...

We decided to go on a little trip south of Trujillo to visit the Moche temples of Huaca del Sol and Huaca del Luna. We got a taxi to take us there; it was a pimped out vehicle if ever I saw one: some kind of alpaca dashboard cosy that the driver was very proud of and sporadically kept stroking to demonstrate this pride, and also a DVD screen in ...

A couple were telling us last night of the troubles they had on a bus in Brasil. In the middle of the night the bus was stopped by the police who came in to inspect everybody. Although it was a hastle the police were quite nice and smiley. They even joked 'wake up sleepy heads' to the couple. After about ten minutes they let the bus carry on and...

Crossing the border into Tumbes (Peru) from Huaquillas (Ecuador) was quite an experience, the streets were absolutely jam-packed with buses, taxis and street vendors, I certainly wouldn´t have felt comfortable about doing it on my own. Literally five minutes down the road into Tumbes, the streets suddenly cleared and the quality of the Panameric...

Hola amigos! After another marathon bus trip (9 hours again) we´´ve crawled off the bus and into Trujillo which is the major city which lies next to Huanchaco. The trip has been interesting. We´ve moved from lush green landscapes into complete desert! Absolutely incredible! Huanchaco is famous for it´s fishermen who go out on very narrow boats m...

So our day trip to Chiclayo was pretty cool cause we saw some old pyramides and some uncovered treasures of the Mochicas tribe from a really long time ago. I kinda didn´t give Chiclayo a chance because we were in and out of the town. We just went on a tour of the Tocume Pyramides, and the Museo of Senor Sipan. Check out the pictures. We then too...

Due to half of Peru traveling around for the Christmas holidays I am forced to take a night bus to get to Huanchaco, my first one. I have heard mixed things about night buses, but I know that personally I struggle to sleep on transport so I am not looking forward to it. I decide to have a few beers and glasses of wine before boarding to help me ...

So after another 10 hours on a bus, arrived at Haunchaco, after a quick dinner, I was really tired so hit the sack! The next day we got up early to see around the Chan Chan palace. It is a world heritage site, there are lots of palaces, each new King had one (could not possibly live in daddies palace you know!!!!), but they only have the money t...
