This 4am bus was terrible... the aisle was literally packed to the brim with people (and the odd lamb). Luckily I had booked a seat, but I had people practically sitting on me anyway. Noticed that nobody else with an aisle seat was getting the same treatment, ... Read more >

There aren't many lakes in the world that have two foul words in their name. But the world's highest navigable lake does: Lake Titicaca. The border of Peru and Bolivia slices straight down the centre of the lake, therefore Peru gets the "Titi"... Read more >

I´m on a roll now, trying to get back up to speed with my journal entries! Today is Thursday, and I arrived this morning at a sleepy little town called Yurimaguas. I got here by boat from Iquitos, which left on Monday evening. Quite an adventure! ... Read more >

Having slept in a hostel in the town at the base of Machu Picchu, we rose at 05:00 to get up to Machu Picchu to explore before the hordes of tourists descended. We were very grateful to take to bus back up the hill and were taken around around the site ... Read more >

The train ride from Huancayo to Huancavelica is great... scenery is fantastic. Recommended! Don´t catch the Saturday autovagon though, not only is it the most expensive at 15 soles... it´s packed to the brim and is comprised of only one carriage. Take ... Read more >

Another early start in torrential rain slightly shattered our faith in the mountain Gods. It was so wet, the tents started leaking and we started to lose amusement with the mountains. Today was to be the easier day, the relax, post Dead Woman and ... Read more >

Today
was the most exciting day of my time in Peru. I visited Machu Picchu! I woke up

05:00 breakfast followed by a presentation, to our porters, of a bag of Coco Leaves each (definitely designed to give them a little more energy) set us up for a good morning. Our guide showed us the profile of the rest of the trek, which to be honest ... Read more >

05:30 start followed by some very plain and boring scrambled eggs made for a rather grumpy Sue. Never the less we jumped in the mini bus and half an hour later arrived at the check point where you have to produce your passports and get them stamped ... Read more >

As described by our amazing guide ´Miguel´, this was a relaxing, acclimatising introduction to the Inca mentality. Our anniversary was so romantic and spiritual! The theme was to turn our crazy lives into an existence in the mountains, where you worship ... Read more >
