Kilometer 86 or Von Humbolt

Headed to the 'buses leave from here' part of town and watched out for one heading for Pucallpa. We were unsure whether we were going to go there or head south at Km 86 where the road divides. Found a bus and a bus helper gracias enough to organise front ... Read more >

Tingo Maria

Got a mototaxi (or tuktuk in the east) to the bus, luxury but it was too far to walk with our packs. Ate there then had a 3 hour journey to Tingo Maria which is north of Huanuco. Carol went searching for a room and was a bit dismayed with what was on ... Read more >

Huanuco

Found a hotel (Fergo) just around the corner from where the bus came in. Got a nice room con bano and tv for 15 soles(double). Not sure that it´s a good idea to have a tv, time just disappears watching mindless programs and we tend to stay up really ... Read more >

We were up at sparrows fart ready for the 6am bus to Huanuco in the freezing cold. Yes there we were in the street, packs at the ready but the bus was not. We finally left at 6.30am, not a long wait but we really are just not used to cold weather! We ... Read more >

La Union

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 | By nomad_kiwis | Views [2317]

You may have noticed that the name of this page is La Union and not Huánuco. That is because even though Huaraz and Huánuco are only about 150 kilometers apart as the crow flies but by road it is 354 kms and therefore 2 days travel! We left Huaraz at ... Read more >
