  • Resting before adrenaline

    17 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Today I slept out and chilled at the pool, before I booked a buggy tour with bodyboarding. I heard as an beginner it is more adrenaline kick with bodyboard(compared to sandboarding, and it was!)

    I booked also three nights in paracas at the beach and this will be my first beach during my journey!

    so I got picked up in the afternoon (unfortunately without Dor), and then we drove with their buggies trough the desert. My driver drove super crazy and it was super fun. I compared it to rollercoasters driving a little bit with that feeling.

    We bodyboarded three hills and the video is only the second one!
    Because some needed to go back earlier, I watched on the biggest hill In huacachina the sunset for myself. It was supper chilled and an super amazing view😍.

    After dinner I went back to the hostel and although I stayed in wild river I am still not that much excited to make big party today.

    Because I had an idea: sleeping in the desert!
    I walked up in the night to the desert and I have been able to sleep for 1 1/2h. But at 2:00 it got to cold because of the wind and I expected with 21degree I can sleep with one layer. I went home to the hostel and slept then in my warm bed. Next time🥹

  • After saying goodbye in the morning to dior and having breakfast I drove with a collectivo to paracas over ica. I waited quiete long, which annoyed me a little bith.

    I arrived in paracas at 14:30 and although it is very touristic, I enjoy to stay in a beach town.
    I booked the Isla balletares tour and a buggy tour trough the Península de Paracas national park.
    I made the buggy today spontaneously today and I met there Vivi (Swiss-Peruan) and Arne&Ole(holland, 18/19).

    It was super nice to drive there trough. Although it was sometimes slow, Vivian and I also went over hills and it was funny and combined with adrenaline. We stopped at 3 places, before we went home after 3h with an amazing view with the sunset. We were also disgusted about the much Dead Sea lions and birds, but the Holland guys told us about a disease this year here.

    The view with the water and the sand dunes was amazing and combined with the nice buggy it was absolutely worth it!

    After that we had dinner and I ate a Milanese (schnitzel) with fish (because seaside) and it was super good!

    Then we made party in the hostel and we had super fun with peruan people. I enjoyed dancing and drinking after a longer time.

    I also rescheduled my Isla balletared tour, that I can make it with Vivian, so I will chill tomorrow.

  • Chilling+ Islas Ballestas+kayak+fish

    20 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    After Vivian am I went partying we chilled the whole day at the pool. Sleeping+chilling+good seafood. The beach is not the best, because it smells a little bit bad😂 not much to say more about the chilled day.

    I really needed some rest of travelling, that’s why I stay here for 4 nights now.
    We ate good seafood, because it is very good and recommended here. I still don’t like raw fish😂. I ate a Milanese with fish, wow. Also a cordon blue with fish..😎🥹 and the best lomo Saltado so far.

    At the next day we went in the morning to the famous Islas Ballestas, which is known as the small Galapagos.

    We saw a Kaktus symbol (San Pedro - known for the Ayahuasca drug, the craziest drug on earth, but a very good medicine for a lot of people) on the way and this symbol is of the paracas culture (before Nasca and >500 b.c).

    We also saw a lot of sea lions (with baby’s😍), 7 Pinguins and thousands of birds. Also pelicans and delphins!! Super nice.

    When we went back we were sitting in the back and we all got wet, which was no bigger problem for me. I loved it to drive with the boat and enjoyed the view

    Then I booked a 3 days/2nights tour for Iquitos in the Amazonas! (Vivian’s Cousine managed that😂)

    Then I went kayaking, because Vivi doesn’t like kayaking. It was super chilled and I saw again sea lions and dolphins. Rest of the day: chilling at the hostel and quiz night and good conversations afterwards with Vivian with a few beer (Ayahuasca, Job, because she also works in the IT)

  • Chilling again

    21 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Next day: sleeping out, organize some stuff for Lima, chilling at the pool and making laundry😂 wow what was this for a relaxed time in paracas 😂

    So paracas with the nice weather was and is in summary a nice and chilled place to chill and I enjoyed it really hard, especially to meet Vivian. Czytaj więcej

  • Arriving in Lima (Barranco)

    22 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    After breakfast and packing my stuff I went 4h to Lima. I went with lennard from the bus (Mexican) to the hostel and I checked in. Then I had food, because I was super hungry and it was already 5 pm. So I just walked around in the evening, when to a food market(😍) & had a shower.

    Then I catched up with lennar again and we had nice conversations with a few beers.

    I didn’t know, that Mexicans hate the US. Why?
    - they steal Texas, Utah and Florida (the half of Mexiko now!) from Mexiko in 1846, because they wanted the oil there
    - Us is giving money and the newest weapons the border Kartells, that they still can ship the drugs to the US, because they US love their drugs.
    - kuba with che Guevara (Russia, economic brake down)

    In Lima it does not rain. It is after Kairo the second driest capital city of the world. Crazy, isnt it?

  • Museum + Miraflores + watershow

    23 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    After a good breakfast in the hostel I had a call with my Marco. Then I had a big problem: my IPhone was not loading again. I had the problem longer, but now it was the end.

    I “repaired” it with my paper clip & flashlight. There was so much dirt inside the loading whole and also super much sand. Now it works better then before if the journey here 😍

    So after that I went to a museum of contemporary art and it was about the Amazon. Super interesting and nice art there. (barranco)

    Then I went around the beautiful miraflores area. So much green and soo amazing so see sea Pazifik and the cliffs with the high buildings there. I also went to Larcomar, a huge shopping mal in the cliffs.

    I had a late lunch afterwards with an amazing view!
    After lunch I met randomly a women again & we smiled each other Mutual in the park of the museum. Then she stopped with her bike and I spoke with Sarita (Peru) one hour at the park. Spiritual and nice conversation.

    Afterwards I walked quite long to a (water) and green park and I watched there a water and light show. I really enjoyed it walking around the water fountains there.
    There was also an event I was allowed to enter and I have seen a peruan dance show and i also saw the prime minister of Peru there 😂 I still don’t know which event this was haha. I also felt like a Paparazzi there hahahahaha super nice

    Then I took the bus for 0,8€ home, compared to walk 2h or taking a taxi (6€).

    I already love the vibes of Lima and the amazing places I have seen so far.

  • Centro historico +fortress+Museo Larco

    24 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Today I went with the public transport the longer distances around the city. At first I made a stop at the really beautiful Centro historical with their plaza de armes, basilica, cathedral de Lima and a church.

    On the way I saw the palacio de justicia. This area was really nice and the architecture impressed me a lot. The basilica also had catacombs. The public transport is screeming around and only people, who know the area/bus stop names are used to that “public chaos”. But with asking it went out. Taxi driving would be to expensive, so I decided the public transport way. It went all out!! Also everyone was so helpfull.

    So I went with two collectivos to Fortaleza del Real Felipe, which is a fortress of the Spain of the 18th century. This fortress is close to the water and it really impressed me. Never seen something like that before. With the guns, wow. (The biggest gun was from London!) I also saw an u-boat from the mirador, which was not allowed to enter..😂#icannotspeakspanish

    Then I went to the museo larco (after going spontaneously to a barber), which was suuuper interesting. It showed mostly the different artefacts, for example drinking containers", carpets, clothing, jewellery, figurines and erotic Keramik artefacts😂, of the different cultures in Peru.

    They showed different artefacts of the peruan civilisation before the Spain came (Mochica, huari, chancay).
    Ther was also a cloth with of the chincha-Inca epoch, where a rug holds the world record in weaving at 157 threads per centimeter.!! It could be, that a Inca king wears that.
    I really loved that museo.

    After food I drove home and chilled at the hostel. Also my feats are hurting after that long day.

  • Beach + Huaca Pucllana Museum

    26 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    In the morning I clarified some stuff about my next journey and how to go to Ecuador: by bus
    Then I went to the beach, listened to music and relaxed.

    To be honest: lima is amazing. The city has history, nice museums, very nice parks, stunning areas & a seaside. Also the woman are super attractive here.

    I also bought a new heat, because of the sun & I really like the style, but I need to get a little bit in touch with them at first😂

    In the evening I had a YouTube history lesson, because I watched around 4-5h of history about the world & so many thing I should know, I know now!

    At the next day I had a call with my parents and then I went to an super interesting museum: Huaca Pucllana Site Museum ; Remains of a clay and roam-pyramid of the Lima culture, which was covered by sand before 1981. it was 3 times bigger than now, they build it for 200 years at around 400 AD and they used it for religious purpose as a sacrifice Center. I also saw mummies of sacrificed people.
    They are also still discovering.

    Then I wanted to book my bus tickets to Guayaquil and at the the buses are not driving good for me and it tooks over 35h. so I decided to fly now, after Iquitos. In the evening I got in touch with Tim from Munich but because of my flight tomorrow . So I tooked it easy and I am super excited about the Amazon jungle tour in Iquitos !!

  • Arriving in Iquitos

    27 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    Today I woke up at 6:30 and after breakfast I walked to miraflores to catch a bus to the airpot (3x cheaper than a taxi!!). Then I flew 2 hours. Iquitos is only accessibly by river or by plane & I am now in the middle of a joungle. Iquitos is bigger as expected & a lot of tuck tucks here. Also the mercado is smelling super strong and it is strange to walk there trough..
    I met Alex from Francia (Parents from Cambodia, 31) at the hostel and we went to a cafe, then to the riverside and we went after the plaza de armes and a church for dinner.

    Alex is doing a Ayahuasca retreat here, where Iquitos is also famous for. In the middle of the nature.

    Tomorrow is time for the Amazon joungle trip!!

  • 1. Day

    28 marca 2023, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Today I woke up at 6:30 to get picked up after breakfast at 7:05. we drove to Nauta 2h with the and then 2h with the boat to our sleeping lounge. I make my trip with an American and Netherlands guy and other people who stay longer/shorter.

    On the way we saw a slough (faultier) on a tree. What an crazy eye out tour guide had! He was moving super slow and it was super interesting to see. Also we drove on the Amazon river, which goes till the east side of Brazil!!

    Then we checked in in our lodge and saw an lizzard and I had an amazing viewpoint above our place.
    After lunch we had a dolphin tour, where I have seen plenty of PINK and grey dolphins, which was suuuper cool. We also swimmer there in the river!! Super cool & I have seen a pink dolphin from 5 meters away during swimming. On the way back we saw a slough super much closer. Super cool!!

    Then we went to an indigenous village, where I have been played soccer as the only one of our 10 persons group with them. We lost 3:2🥹😂

    Then we had dinner and went to a alligator tour after the sun went down, where I have seen two baby alligators. We drove super trough the Pampa with our boat and to see the stars was absolutely amazing. Nice tour!

    Our guide also cought one!! But unfortunately I have not seen a big one. The Moskitos are also super annoying, but it’s part of the game.
