....and more of the same. Up until now we were able to get enough information about the road ahead and prepare mentally for the roads and conditions. All in all it is really hard to know what is waiting for us out there or - in some cases- the information ... Read more >

Lima und Kueste von Perú

Fri, 9 Aug 2013 | By farfalla | Views [428]

Am 30. Juli ist also der grosse Tag, an dem auch Verena und ich uns von Prosoya verabschieden muessen. Wie auch beim Abschied von Johannes sind wir total traurig, aber um so dankbarer um uns.  In Lima gibt es noch ein gemeinsames Abendessen ... Read more >

From Chacas to Huari (27th-29th)

Fri, 9 Aug 2013 | By margitpirsch | Views [1208]

So glad the road over the mountains was paved, but now the dirt has us back and we find ourselves pushing the bikes again when the going gets tough - especially us girls! Pretty worn out and tired of climbing all day (yes, we are attempting another ... Read more >

Before the pass: A day in the tent (July25th)

Fri, 9 Aug 2013 | By margitpirsch | Views [945]

As we started climbing and the sun beat down on us we gained elevation quickly, but the road into the mountains of the highest pass (Punta Olimpica) in the Huascarán National Park was paved and gentle. Surrounded by snow capped mountains the views ... Read more >

Punta Olimpica (26th of July)

Thu, 8 Aug 2013 | By margitpirsch | Views [2269]

It was COLD - the morning had arrived with clear blue skies and clear heads - all of us had adjusted to the altitude (we camped at the meadow at 3800m) and we felt strong and ready to go. The mountains were calling. Thin, crisp air - climbing ... Read more >

PERU!

Fri, 26 Jul 2013 | By kristinblack | Views [334]

Wow, Peru went by in such a whirlwind! Here's a recap of my last 2 weeks, where I tackled some of the highlights of Peru. Started out in Lima, where I ate some good food, and browsed some markets for an evening. I didn't spend much time in Lima as ... Read more >

Prosoya

Fri, 26 Jul 2013 | By farfalla | Views [882]

Ich habe es jetzt lange genug herausgezoegert um ueber Prosoya zu schreiben. Vermutlich, weil ich nicht glaube, dass ich die passenden Worte finden werde. Aber irgendwo muss ich ja mal anfangen. Prosoya hat Vieles veraendert, mich veraendert, aber ... Read more >

The road from Cajamarca to Cajabamba

Mon, 8 Jul 2013 | By margitpirsch | Views [1434]

You just gotta love those names.. To my surprise it was all paved, gentle and easy climbing. We went through two pretty big river valleys flying down to 2000m and then back up again -twice- close to 3000m. Good weather clouds and sunshine accompanying ... Read more >
