We were sad to leave Bolivia but excited to visit our last country in South America- Peru.

I was incredibly happy to finally get to Chachapoyas. And I was not disappointed. It’s a lovely city with white washed buildings and the star attraction of pre Inca ruins in nearby Kuelap.
There are plenty of other things to do around Chachapoyas ... Read more >

I left the airport by taxi which took me to a stop where an...essentially hollowed out van with "Chosico" written on the front stopped, with promise from my taxi driver that they would take me to my destination, the ruins of Puruchuco. ... Read more >

16 hours overnight from Cusco and we arrived in Huacachina, and quite a pleasant bus ride it was. Yes, it was full of Israeli backpackers (make your own judgment if that would be a good or bad experience) but they did come armed with a selection of ... Read more >

Taxi to Huacachina on the 3 rd and we finally get some hot weather. Yay. Huacachina is very cool. It is a tiny, tiny resort and an oasis surrounded by huge sand dunes. It’s still fairly quiet but there’s a bit more to do here and ... Read more >
