Another new city! We left La Paz yesterday morning at 8:30am and 27 hours later here we are in Lima. A very very long bus ride. We had spent our last day in La Paz spending up a storm in the markets so now have backpacks full of Alpaca wool. It is easy to have a shopping spree in a country where soup costs 40 cents. We finally found the really c...

Took one of those marathon bus rides from Cusco to Lima (advertised as 19 hours, leaving at 5 pm Saturday afternoon, but actually took 21.5 hours, as it arrived in Lima at 1:30 pm the next day). Went with Palomino and was actually pretty comfortable (I paid extra to be on the first floor with leather, almost fully reclinable seats and lots of le...

If I had not created this entry, the map of our journey would not have been correct! (Yes, I am a sad case). Came on an evening flight from Iquitos, getting in around 23h00. Had to hang around at a table in the eating area at the airport until check-in for the flight to Cusco at 05h40. Very tired, but it certainly an OK option if one is stuck - ...

We set off back to Puno, Peru to pick are backpack's up that we had stashed at a hotel in Puno. We decided to hire a tax to drive us back to the border. The driver spoke very little english, but we saved us 1 1/2 hours of travel time rather than the bus we took to La Paz. The border crossing is low key, I'm sure you could just walk across withou...

Sooo, after another 3 hours flight we arrived at the Lima National and International airport..... and we went thru customs and found our luggage fairly fast! The driver from the hostal was also already waiting for us... so we go to the car and, at least I, almost had 20 heart attacks... people dont drive here in Lima... I mean, I cant explain wh...

I guess I was a little optimistic about boarding , our flight ending up being delayed over 2 hours so we arrived at the Lima airport at 12:15 a.m. Customs was actually very efficient and we moved through quickly. We were sure happy to see our Gap representative holding up a sign with our names. The Lima airport is huge, very modern, and yes it w...

So, we've been staying with Jacque, who is just finishing up his 7 month stint in Lima before going back to Orlando on his way to Venezuela. He enlightened us to this performance/dance called "Brisas Del Titicaca." It was essentially a traditional peña but with more of a showy-type of feeling. The way it is structured is that a traditional band ...

we made it safely across the border - 6 of us packed in to a small, rusty car that sounded like it might stop for good every time it slowed down. as we got near to the passport control, chilean side, we began to realise that we were carrying an unauthorised substance and were heading swiftly (well in that car not really so swiftly) towards becom...

And so after a month in the countryside we arrive in Lima, Peru´s capital city. After the initial excitement wears off (look Starbucks! KFC! Burgerking! etc) we find a lovely little hostel in the Miraflores area of the city. We take a stroll down to the beach area but the fog that covers the city limits our view, still its relaxed and Cath gets ...

It is now Sunday and I am about to leave the Double Tree Hotel in Miraflores, Lima and head for a hotel connected with the 16 day tour of hiking, biking and rafting, I am about to take. I arrived in Lima 5 days ago, and for the first time my whole trip, my travel plans were not 100%. I have been bored and fairly unimpressed with Lima, and I real...
