Cordillera Huayhuash, the hidden beauty. Tough and demanding with 8 passes in 10 days trekking. But the trail will take you to unbelievable sights of Huayhuash mountain range with the lakes, nature, and very few villagers. This is easily the best trek ...

I reread all my previous journal entries for the first time. What struck me is the change from the first few to the last ones. A profound personal change has taken place and is visible in the writing style and content. But it´s an illusion, it doesnt ... Read more >

Ecuador is beautiful !
I don’t know what sort of great geographical difference there is, but it seems
greener and cleaner than Peru; and the Andes….toujours impressionant (always
impressive).

Last night I had
quite a headache from the car ride to Huascarán, and I was delighted to find
Fleur and Kuwait at the hotel, ready to chat, sympathize, and eat. We went to a
local restaurant where chicken and fries were the “in” thing, ... Read more >

So the previous
writings were things we learned on our way to Chavín. The ride itself was a bit
long, the ruins were nice, but not as cool as Tikal (in Guate), and the ride back was
pretty intensely long. When I got back, I knocked on Fleur and Kuwait’s ... Read more >

Writings while on my bus ride: My 9:30am bus has
left at 10:11am, so right on schedule =) Oh Latin America… (the movie playing

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 >

Arrived! ...even if quite groggily. I zipped right through customs, took some money out, and at the inexplicably simple push-of-a-green-button, I was released!...to the hoards of taxi drivers. I'm waiting in the airport until dawn, however, before ... Read more >

I first visited Peru five years ago, and have
longed to come back ever since. Back then I only visited the Titicaca Lake
