Lima for the weekend
11 de novembro de 2017, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
In only two days I’ve seen so many places in this huge city, I don’t even know where to start. THANK YOU Francisco for taking me to the most impressive places, telling me about the country and its people, letting me taste the best food and drinks (this deserves a separate chapter!), showing me the nightlife in Miraflores and despite the hangover, joining me for a run along the Malécon and the oceanside.

These are the places I will definitely remember:
- Plaza de Armas and the government district
- Callao (the neighborhood next to the Lima harbour divided into a poor and a rich part) and the Fortaleza del Real Felipe museum
- Miraflores, the Larcomar (a mall on top of the cliff) and el Parque Kennedy (the most beautiful neighborhood and best place to stay (Pariwasi Hostel), go out for drinks and dance!)
- el Malécon, el Faro and el Parque del Amor with its stunning ocean view at night (and where you can also paraglide from the cliffs)
- Barranco (the neighborhood for artists, musicians and any alternate lifestyle)

Lima, it was a pleasure!Leia mais

An unbelievable change in landscape going further South: Welcome to the desert and plenty of sand to do crazy things on it like speeding up and down the dunes in a sandbuggy or slide it down on a sandboard (head first for beginners/non-snowboarders) 😱🤙🏼Leia mais

There are some lessons learned from that day trip:
- Being a sea lion must be the best life!
- I have never seen so many birds in one place
- Sometimes a desert doesn’t always consist out of sand only. Let’s taste it to figure out it’s actually salty!
- if you are lost in translation with other European people, basic Spanish might be the best common language
- the next vacation will definitely include more beach days!Leia mais

Arequipa, la ciudad blanca
16 de novembro de 2017, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
In the centre this city perfectly mirrors the mixture of the European and the indigenious Inka culture. In order to convince the indigenious people to adapt the catholic beliefs and values, indigenious symbols and traditions were included into those of the church. It especially shows in buildings and churches where you find Christian symbols like the cross combined with snakes and dragons. Also Arequipa is called the white city due to its European architecture and the avoidance of any colours in the main buildings of Plaza de Armas. Pretty impressive are the two snow topped vulcanoes (with their altitude of more than 6000m) behind them in the distance.

Moreover, the monastery of Santa Catalina is a must see in Arequipa. People say it is an own city within the city and that seems to be reasonable when you see how big it is and what buildings and spaces the nons created for their daily life.

To get all that knowledge the free walking tour is very recommendable and it also finished with a free Pisco Sour, as always. It didn’t stay the last one that evening as Arequipa proved to be a great place to enjoy a delicious Peruvian dinner, to go out for a drink or two and for clubbing and dancing Salsa 💃🏻🍸 Que pena I couldn’t stay longer!Leia mais

Colca Canyon: 2 Days of Trekking/Dying
17 de novembro de 2017, Peru ⋅ 🌙 12 °C
21km up and down the canyon. Stretched my limit*, but finally made it back to the top with a happy face 💪🏼😊

*Just another chapter of: “It seemed like a good idea yesterday” going directly from the salsa club in Arequipa to the trekking tour without any sleep and a hangover. However, thanks to the nice people and the amazing landscape it was a great trip and anyway, bad ideas still make the best memories.Leia mais

Lago Titicaca
19 de novembro de 2017, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Directly arriving from Chivay and the Colca Canyon to Puno and the Titicaca Lake that Peru shares with Bolivia (Titi for Peru, Caca for Bolivia, people say :D).

From Puno ships leave to the Uros islands and the main island Tacile. The Uros are artificial islands, where, as they tell you, live few families in traditional huts on their own small island floating on plants that swim on the surface. We couldn’t tell if the show that they demonstrate to tourists is in any way close to the truth, but at least it showed their special culture, clothes and handcrafts on the Titicaca lake. Tacile, in contrast, is a huge and real island, where several communities live peacefully together and still share these old traditions. During the trip you see that there are people that (chose to) live in a completely different world than we are today and where time seems to stand still.Leia mais

La Montaña de Siete Colores
21 de novembro de 2017, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Actually, I was convinced that in reality the Rainbow mountain would never look as colourful (as shaped by different minerals) as in all the photoshopped pictures and probably wouldn’t be worth the 3h ride from Cusco and 4h hike in that altitude (I think I have never been hiking on a mountain of 5000m!). However, I have to admit, it exceeded my expectations by far and I’m very happy to have done the tough hike up to the top on that perfect day in the Andes 🌈🏔🌈Leia mais

The Sacred Valley of the Inkas
23 de novembro de 2017, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
From Cusco it takes 2h to get to the Inka towns Pisaq and Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley on the way to Machu Picchu. As the Inkas believed in three worlds, the upper world (represented by the bird), the world on earth (reptesented by the Puma) and the underground world (represented by the snake), the symbol of these animals are even found in the former shape of the city. Therefore, as their capital city, Cusco should have had the shape of a Puma. Pisaq and its terraces, in contrast, is supposed to have the shape of a bird.

For agricultural reasons, the Inkas tracked the sun coming through the hills and even shaped the buildings and hills around them accordingly. They observed the stars and knew about floods and earthquakes. They prepared their cities for that by creating walls in a loose way and having canals leading the water down the hills. Pretty impressive also (especially in the last picture), that you can indeed find faces and ornaments in the hills around that are supposed to protect the city from the evil.Leia mais
