We first
heard about Moray from the Wrights at an Explorers Club meeting. Their descriptions and photos were
right on target. Moray is 1 ½
hours by taxi from Cusco, all uphill through breathtaking scenery. We could have been in Switzerland ... Read more >

Church bells were pealing as we left the Plaza at 6:30. We wanted an early start for Lake Huacopay, just beyond the ruins of Tipon. All along the way we say the devastation caused by the flooding of January and February. Fields were destroyed ... Read more >

Having finished off the main bulk of our Bolivian travels in La Paz, we went briefly to Lake Titicaca, on the border of Bolivia and Peru. The lake itself is not all that impressive, other than for its title of being "the world´s highest naviagable ... Read more >

Ascencio was
waiting for us in the Plaza San Blas just as we had agreed. He would be our driver this morning –
and probably for several more days – as we explore the Inca sites around Cusco

Today didn’t
go exactly as planned. We boarded
the bus for Copacabana, Bolivia only to find out that Americans have to pay $135
to enter Bolivia. It seems the
president’s new best friend, Hugo Chavez, of Venezuela convinced him to dump ... Read more >

Another night bus from Puno to Cusco. The bus itself wasnt that bad, but the journey was horrible. We nearly had our first set of tears but at least the 3am arrival at the bus station was not as bad as we had first anticipated. We bundled into our twelve ... Read more >

We were
lucky to get a bus from Arequipa to Puno.
It seems the demonstrations we saw yesterday in the Plaza were the bus

to Lima or Cusco but Puno was spared and we had royal treatment on Cruz del

We
have been here since Wednesday – or at least our luggage has been – but we
didn’t see any of the sights until today.
Arequipa is a comfortable place, especially for us Coloradans. The altitude is a little higher than
Denver and the ... Read more >

Just got back from a great Easter weekend! I went with a group from the organization we're volunteering with here at IdukayPeru. There were 3 of us volunteers (me, Pear, and Lorena who is from Spain), and 4 Peruvians (Alex, the president of IdukayPeru, ... Read more >
