    Second week at Chacra Corazón

    9. januar, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    My second week at the project started with the arrival of another volunteer, Cynthia from Ayacucho in Peru! We all spent a great time together during our several breakfasts and lunches and María showed us how to prepare several traditional dishes. Finally we even finished our main work during the project which consisted in planting grass on the soil in front of the guest house. For my last few days at the project, my friend Petra who I got to know in Tübingen joined me and we’ll now continue travelling Peru together!🌞Læs mere

    Paracas

    17. januar, Peru ⋅ 🌬 25 °C

    Continuing the trip through Peru after two weeks of recharging energies to the Southern part! Our first step was Paracas where we did a tour to the Islas Ballestas and saw penguins, sea lions and dolphins on the way! Afterwards we went to the national reserve and were stunned by the apocalyptic landscape and the beautiful birds you could watch. The tours were nice but very touristy which is why we left the place after one night already. Still we had a good time and I even met Freddi again who I travelled with at the start of the trip and who is now travelling with his girlfriend!:)Læs mere

    Huacachina

    18. januar, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Huacachina is a small touristy town near Ica. It is located in an oasis so in the centre of the town there is a small laguna. The most popular thing to do is sand boarding on the dunes but we just decided to walk up the dunes, watch the town at night, have some drinks at the bar and the next day chill near the laguna. After one night we continued to Ica where we had my fav vegetarian lunch so far🥹and then took the night bus to Ayacucho!Læs mere

    Ayacucho

    20. januar, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    After 12h in the night bus we arrived in Ayacucho in the morning! Ayacucho is a medium sized town in the mountains of Peru that is still not very touristy although it is so beautiful and has a lot to offer! In town you can watch the traditional Peruvian Andean life and buy food at low prices at the central market. The centre is very lively and since carnival starts in February and Ayacucho is highly famous in Peru for its carnival, we could already watch some groups practicing on the streets!
    One day we went to a nearby town called Quinua where you can watch (and buy) traditional handicrafts made out of clay or ceramics, discover the monument memorizing one of the most important battles in the history of independence of Peru and visit the archaeological site of Wari where you learn about pre-Inka life in the area. During that day trip, people were so open and happy to talk to us everywhere we went and in the end a family from Ayacucho even gave us a ride back to town!
    Probably one of the reasons why Ayacucho is not too touristy is that the years of terrorism that took place in the 80s in Peru, started in Ayacucho with the creation of the terror group “Sendero Luminoso” or in English “Shining Path”. Back then many civilians, especially people from indigenous communities, were killed not only by the terror group but also by the Peruvian military. In the museum “ Casa de la Memoria” you can inform about the brutal times and since the museum is not supported by the government but instead created by a group of activists called “Anfasep”, the information you receive is quite differentiated. Until now, we needed to realize that receiving nuanced information about these times is not always very easy in Peru since the government still covers up or blurs parts of the history.
    Although learning about the past of Ayacucho was pretty hard, I think it was one of my favourite places on the trip so far since people were so nice, the city is still untouched by many tourists but the surroundings are beautiful and the culture and knowledge is so rich!    Læs mere

    Cusco

    23. januar, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Cusco, the first three days:
    - Acclimatized due to the higher altitude (3,400m) and therefore prepared for the upcoming trek to Machu Picchu
    - Treated ourselves with a luxurious dinner consisting of vegan versions of traditional Peruvian dishes
    - Joined a free walking tour around the city which is very touristy and cosmopolitan but still has a lot of beautiful streets and markets
    - Walked up the Jesus statue to get a view of the city and ate “choclo con queso” (corn with cheese) on the way down:)    Læs mere

    Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu

    26. januar, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Before coming to South America it was one of my goals to do a hiking trek for several days to Machu Picchu. The salkantay trek is a famous trek that you can do in 4 or 5 days but it’s also a quite tough one due to the amounts of kilometres you walk ever day and especially due to the altitudes you reach! Especially the second and the fourth day were pretty exhausting since on the second day we went up to 4.600m and since we are still in the rainy season, both of the days it was raining heavily. Nevertheless, the views we had and the hiking days which were filled with compelling conversations with other members of the (Papi’s-) group were worth the struggle! After 4 days of hiking we then arrived in Aguas Calientes, the town next to Machu Picchu. Due to the manifestations these days it was all empty and we were not 100% sure if we can enter Machu Picchu the next day. Our guides told us to go as early as possible in order to arrive before the strikers and pass the entry so we got up at 3:30am and walked up the last challenging kilometres up to the Machu Picchu! In the end we were rewarded with a beautiful view over the mountains and the archeological site (apparently not that common in rainy season) and since many tours these days were cancelled, we could experience Machu Picchu as a quiet and peaceful place instead of a tourist hotspot🙏🏼After the hike which was in the end about 100km in 5 days, we needed some rest in Cusco again to process the whole experience!Læs mere

    Cusco again

    31. januar, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    After the Salkantay trek I first needed to get some rest in Cusco so I decided to stay a few days more. The first days we just went out to cafés and museums (in one of them they even portrayed Stuttgart as a sister city of Cusco but showed Tübingen as the historical centre of Stuttgart😭) and in the night we met our new friends we made during the trek to have some pisco sours (famous Peruvian drink). Then, since there is so many archeological sites of the Inkas around Cusco, one day I did a day tour with a bus. We went to places like the town of Chinchero, the terraces of Moray and the salt terraces of Maras, Ollantaytambo, Urubamba and Písac. Although those tours are super touristy, I had a good time getting to know another German guy and an Austrian girl.Læs mere

    Arequipa

    6. februar, Peru ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    My next stop after another 12 hours in the bus (with the fanciest bus so far though) was Arequipa! I’m now again travelling on my own since my friend Petra moved on to Bolivia already. At first I was really excited after my arrival since the city looked so cute to me but I was then welcomed with the information that there is no water in the city due to heavy rain in the north and too much sediments in the river (or so). With the ugly feeling after the night bus and no shower I then did a great free walking tour through the city with a very passionate arequipeño and explored more and more the relaxed but still lively atmosphere of the white city. The city is by the way white since they used white volcanic rocks to construct it and this is because Arequipa is close to several dormant or extinct volcanos. Although the no-water-situation at the hostel got uglier and uglier, I enjoyed my stay not least because of the sunny weather and the great local food market!Læs mere

    Cañón de Colca

    8. februar, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    One of the principal things to see near Arequipa is the cañón de colca, the third biggest canyon in the world! I decided to go there for a two day hike with a tour and hence was picked up at 3am in the morning😴The bus ride already predicted beautiful landscapes and we observed the source of the Amazonas on the way. Unfortunately that day we could not observe the Andean condor at a famous viewpoint but saw some later during the hike!! After the breakfast spot and around 4h by bus we started our hike. The first day we walked all the way down to the river to the middle of the canyon and had lunch on the other side. We enjoyed the sun and relaxed for a bit at the lunch place but then needed to continue the hike since our guide knew that in the afternoon it would start raining and we still needed to walk another 3h to get to the campsite for the night. As he told, it started raining soon but in contrast to some other people of the group I was gladly well prepared for that. The hike along the unaccountable fig trees and cactus fields was still so nice and the mood of the group was kept high! In the night we were told to revise the whole room and the bed sheets to make sure there is no dangerous spiders or scorpions but gladly we did not see anything! The next day we then started our hike at 4:30am when it was still dark since we needed to hike up the canyon again. The hike was with 6km quite short in kilometres but pretty steep and it then took me around 3h to walk up the 1.200m. Fortunately that day we did not have to walk anymore and just went to some (really) hot springs, drove up to 4.900m to have a view over the volcanos that we did not have but at least watched plenty of llamas, alpacas and vicuñas on the way☺️Læs mere

    Arequipa again

    9. februar, Peru ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Had another short stay in Arequipa to relax after the hike, do some yoga, go to the market, have some coffee and finally tried the cheese ice cream (basically just sweet milk ice cream with cinnamon on top)!Læs mere
