    Huayhuash (2)

    2022年5月20日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C

    Luckily, the sun is out ☀️ Erik, our guide, woke us up at 5.50am, approximately 1 degree, we opened our tent and were surprised by a beautiful sunrise. After breakfast it was time to start hiking.
    The best moment today was when Erik played a traditional song with his flute on top of the ridge.

    Huayhuash (5)

    2022年5月22日, ペルー ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Today was the longest and most exhausting day - we had 2 passes and the highlight of the trek ahead of us. The second pass up to San Antonio was a very steep climb. But it was absolutely worth it. I walked over the dome, the tears flowed and I hyperventilated and first had to turn away - what an incredible moment and indescribable beautiful view.

    Arequipa (1)

    2022年5月25日, ペルー ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Packed full of stunning colonial architecture set around picturesque parks and plazas, Arequipa is undoubtedly among the most beautiful cities in Peru. And much like the capital Lima, there is a story behind how this colonial gem got its name, and why it was given the moniker, “The White City”.
    Long before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, the site was inhabited by indigenous settlers. One theory is that the Aymara were first to lay claim to the land, naming the site Ari (summit) Quipa (lies beyond). The theory holds some credibility when you consider the imposing summit of the El Misti volcano does indeed lie just beyond the city.
    The other possibility is that the name came from the Inca who were known to have settled in the region. Upon assessing its fertile land and strategic location between Cusco and the sea, the fourth Inca emperor Mayta Cápac is thought to have exclaimed in his native Quechua language, “Ari qhipay” (Let’s stay here).
    No one knows for sure which of these versions is true, although we do know the Spanish took a liking to the name as they decided to keep it when they founded the city in 1540.    もっと詳しく

    Arequipa (3) / Colca Canyon (1)

    2022年5月27日, ペルー ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    The Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru, located about 160 km northwest of Arequipa. With a depth of about 1000 - 2000 m (whereas bottom is at cca 2000 m and edges are at 3000 - 4000 metres above the sea level), it is one of the deepest canyons in the world. Its length is about 70 kilometres. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with pre-Inca rooted inhabitants, and towns founded in Spanish colonial times, still inhabited by people of the Collagua and the Cabana cultures. The local people maintain their ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces, called andenes.もっと詳しく

    Cusco (1,2)

    2022年5月30日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Legend tells that in the 12th century, the sun god Inti looked down on the earth and decided that the people needed organizing, so he created the first Inca, Manco Cápac, and his sister-wife, Mama Ocllo. They came to life on Isla del Sol (Sun Island), way over in Lake Titicaca, with a long walk ahead of them. Inti gave Manco Cápac a golden rod and told him to settle in the spot where he could plunge it into the ground until it disappeared: this would be the navel of the earth (qosq’o in the Quechua language). And so Cuzco got its name. Locals can point out the place where the rod allegedly went in – it’s on a hill overlooking the bus
    terminal.
    Most South American cities have a merry, hectic street energy; in Cuzco it’s overwhelming. Walk through the Plaza de Armas and you’ll see people hawking massages, finger puppets, paintings and tattoos – it’s not for the
    fainthearted. This is one of the most relentlessly tourist dominated towns on the face of the earth, and unless you make the effort to get a few blocks (that’s all it
    takes) away from the madness of the Plaza, you may find yourself feeling like a walking ATM.
    That’s about the only downside. Despite a tidal wave of tourism and massive immigration from the provinces over the last couple of decades, and the years of terrorism before that, Cuzco is a relatively safe place with decent infrastructure and a lovable population of dauntless entrepreneurs ranging from singing shoeshine boys to flamboyant nightclub magnates.    もっと詳しく

    Waking up at 4am to watch the sunrise at Rainbow Mountains...and the plan worked. It was freezing cold and the mountains were covered in ice, but I thought it was even more beautiful.
    We made the trek!

    Sacred Valley (1)

    2022年6月6日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    Cusco - Ollantaytambo - Aguas Caliente

    The beautiful Río Urubamba valley, popularly known as El Valle Sagrado (The Sacred Valley), is about 15km north of Cuzco as the condor flies. The star attractions are the lofty Inca citadels of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, which preside
    over its undulating twists and turns, but the valley is also packed with other Inca sites, as well as hectic markets and fetching Andean villages. It’s famous for some high-adrenaline activities, from rafting to trekking to rock climbing.

    In Peru the most enthusiastic and vibrant Pentecost (Pfingsten) festivities can be found in Ollantaytambo in the Urubamba Valley about 70 km northwest of Cusco with local music and dances, colorful costumes and traditional food on the main plaza.
    In the afternoon I continued by train to Aguas Caliente and thus to the foot of Machu Picchu.    もっと詳しく

    Sacred Valley (2) - Machu Picchu

    2022年6月7日, ペルー ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Why not take the bus when you can walk like the Inkas?! Step by step by step - it felt like endless steps. Strictly speaking, it was about 1.700 steps to the ruin and another 100hm to the Wayna Picchu.

    10 interesting facts about Machu Picchu:

    TEMPLE OF THE SUN
    The semicircular Temple of the Sun, constructed around a large boulder, offers commanding views of the Sacred Valley below. During the summer solstice, the sun shines through a temple window and aligns with both the boulder within and the tip of a nearby mountain peak.

    TIME TRAVEL
    A 15th-century stone city tucked into a mountain-ringed valley high in the Andes, Machu Picchu is about 50 miles from Cusco, the Inca capital. It's reached today by a four-hour train ride, then a few miles of winding mountain road, or by a three- to six-day hike along the famed Inca Trail.

    TERRACES
    The 700-plus ancient terraces at Machu Picchu preserved soil, promoted agriculture, and served as part of an extensive water-distribution system that conserved water and limited erosion on the steep slopes.

    INCA INFRASTRUCTURE
    A path leads along the outside of Machu Picchu, which is formed of buildings, plazas, and platforms connected by narrow lanes. One sector is cordoned off to itself by walls, ditches, and, perhaps, a moat.

    ANCIENT ARCHITECTS
    Landscape engineering skills are in strong evidence at Machu Picchu. The site’s buildings, walls, terraces, and ramps reclaim the steep mountainous terrain and make the city blend naturally into the rock escarpments on which it is situated.

    STARGAZING
    Archaeologists believe that these shallow stone dishes were filled with water and served an astronomical observatory function.

    ABOVE THE URUBAMBA
    The Inca ruins lie on a high ridge, surrounded on three sides by the windy, turbulent Urubamba River some 2,000 feet below. When Hiram Bingham first saw the maze of terraces and walls rising out of the thick undergrowth in 1911, he found himself in a ghost town that had been hidden from the outside world for nearly 400 years. "It seemed like an unbelievable dream," he later wrote. "What could this place be?"    もっと詳しく

    Sacred Valley (3) - Pisac

    2022年6月8日, ペルー ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Pisac is a small town nestled in the crook of the Inti Huatana Mountain with a strong mystical influence, situated along the Urubamba River. Full of artisan and farmers’ markets, cafes, and restaurants, Pisac offers a fantastic opportunity to shop for handmade crafts and taste treats made with love. For those seeking community and healing, Pisac is home to plenty of healers that host group events or offer private sessions. Some of the community events include kirtan, sauna tents and meditation.

    And so I also wanted to participate in a spiritual ceremony and went to Mantra singing in the afternoon - a really beautiful atmosphere and experience with which I sad goodbye to my 29th year of life.    もっと詳しく

    Cusco (4)

    2022年6月12日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Last day in Cusco and almost the last day in Peru.
    I treated myself with a small gift - a costum-made ring with the Inca sign for traveling.

    And for dinner I met an "old" travel companion I met in Ecuador. Tae is from Thailand and has been working remote for 6 years now from all over the world.
    Always nice to see travel buddy’s again.    もっと詳しく
