How do I always forget just how crazy things get before a big trip. Tying up work loose end took WAY longer than expected, and of course we found stuff that I needed was up in MD and unaccessible. Reminded of the saying from the kid's Scout Leader: looks like you didn't need it after all! Thanks Kev for being so patient as I pretty much lost my mind the last few days.Leer más

ViajeroOMG, I thought it was just me. This trip was challenging to pack for. Don't know if it is because I'm out of practice, the various climes, or whether I'm just impaired. 😅

So...how did I miss that I needed to have a COVID Attestation form to enter Peru BEFORE I checked in? Oh, and that it needs to be electronic? And so ensued a frantic half hour with laptop and cell phone trying to submit a Peruvian form. I kept getting an error message in Spanish. My Spanish is pretty good, but this was a mystery. Tech-Speak in Spanish is every bit as mystifying as it is in English. NOW prepared to launch...Leer más

15 de mayo de 2022, Perú ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
Stupid early start yesterday, but we had a pleasant bus ride down the coast from Lima to the town of Paracas. We had hoped to take a boat tour of Ballestas Island, which is billed as the Galapagos of Peru. Sadly, weather didn't cooperate and we ended up taking a shorter boat trip to go see our first geoglyph - the Candelabra. We were also visited by a group of friendly dolphins, lots of sea lions and saw many, many pelicans. A lovely lunch followed of local, Peruvian styled seafood and I got to introduce Annette to the ubiquitous Inca Kola. Then on to Huacacina!Leer más

Huacachina Oasis
15 de mayo de 2022, Perú ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
We pulled into Huacachina in the early afternoon. It is an oasis in the desert, with a small lake surrounded by huge sand dunes. It is also a tourist magnet. Many hostels with lively parties; we found a sleepier place. THE thing to do is a sunset dune buggy ride and sandboarding...so we did! We had SO much fun!! Much more like sledding than snowboarding for all but the most intrepid. We were giggling like schoolgirls sledding down these enormous dunes. Bonus was as we were watching the gorgeous sunset from a high dune, we turned around and saw an equally gorgeous full moon rising over the dunes behind us. Just amazingly beautiful. This morning we enjoyed the quiet beauty of the area (for at least a few minutes) before heading out for Nazca.Leer más

Acueductos de Cantalloc
16 de mayo de 2022, Perú ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
After driving through fertile fields of grapes, avocados, oranges, paprika and many other crops, our van climbed over a pass. In the process there was a narrow tunnel that looked like it was carved by hand through the mountain. Very narrow and claustrophobic, with rough hewn rock on either side. Half expected to see a dwarf. Then back into the valley and into Nazca proper. We hired a guide who took us to these aquaducts dating back to the Nazca people, roughly 2000 years ago. Although this area is fertile, it is arid and droughts have been problematic. These aqueducts have reportedly never run dry. Most of it is tunnelled underground, but there are 20 "ventanas" that were used to maintain the channels, with spirals for access. They were seriously cool, some as deep as 40'. And there was another geoglyph easily visible from there- "la felino"Leer más

We then drove to a geoglyph called Las Agujas de Cantallo (the Needles ). These look like lines to nearby mountains, like Cerro Blanco- the largest sand dune in the world. Then on to El Telar (the Loom), with a spiral (yarn) next to it and a knitting needle between.Leer más
Ver traducción
ViajeroHad no idea the world’s largest sand dune was there. Is there any history recorded about the intent of the large engravings in the ground? Were they meant to be seen from space And if so was it a deity kind of thing or was it potentially extraterrestrial focused?
19/5/22Responder
ViajeroWe laugh and say that it was, but probably not. The lines point toward known important sites (e.g. the Cerro Blanco- the giant sand dune, the Cahuachi pyramid complex, etc ) and the archaeologists are pretty sure they have perfectly explainable purposes.

The Paredones was an early Incan expansion into the area. Stone is limited here, so it was used only at the bases of the most important structures, with adobe being used for most upper walls (which show the wear from the weather). This was interesting, but were flagging from the desert heat by then and we're happy to move on to an indoor museum.Leer más

This was the last stop. Our guide, Julio, was in his element and enjoyed showing us colorfully painted cloth, pottery, slingshots woven with human hair, ceramic flutes, etc. of the Nazca culture. Most was about 2000 years old. As physicians, we found the mummification and skull modifications intriguing. We could still see the ocularis muscles and nose on a 2000 year old mummy! There were many styles of gravesites with mock sites showing different styles commonly used. I found the whole trophy head thing to be a little unsettling, but the detailed, polychromic textile and pottery- was incredible, often with animal themes. My pictures don't do it justice.Leer más

Nazca Flight!!
17 de mayo de 2022, Perú ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
Edited to add: new photos from Annette!

We started today with a flight over the Nazca and Palpa lines. It was AMAZING! We were also able to see all of yesterday's sights from above, which was neat. The difference in appearance from the shift in perspective is remarkable. Apparently, very few people choose to fly to the Palpas- it's a little further, and over some mountains which can make it turbulent. We had an early start, and it wasn't bad at all all- even for this nervous flyer. The geoglyphs were generally very clear- but my photos need some cropping/editing. I'll update when I can. In any case, definitely aliens. 👽Leer más

After the flight, we did a bit more touring around Nazca. To get to the Cahuachi pyramids, our guide put his car in jeopardy for miles down a remote, rough and unpaved road. There were only a few other people there (the road and remoteness no doubt being factors), but it was an impressive complex. We were stunned to see this emerge out of nowhere in the desert.Leer más

ViajeroIt would be my dream to be there doing that Lisa. It’s incredible what ancient civilizations were able to achieve without any of the means we have today.. Who was used as labor to build these? As we know that is often the tragic side of the history.
19/5/22Responder
Viajeroa lot of these cultures were pretty brutal. I really struggle with the whole sacrificing young girls to appease the gods thing (Inca, not Nazca). The forced labor (often of conquered peoples) is also pretty heinous.

Chaucilla cemetery
17 de mayo de 2022, Perú ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
We stopped by a local fruit stand between the pyramid and this cemetery, where we tried prickly pear fruit and another lychee-type fruit. The cemetery itself was also remote, down another lengthy unpaved road. It was a major burial ground for the Nazca. Unfortunately, many, many of the tombs were destroyed by grave-robbers. Nonetheless, there are still undisturbed tombs and there were a dozen opened and on display- mummified remains and their possessions. The preservation of hair and even skin is remarkable, given they are ~2000 yrs old. Again, we were among very few visitors, and there were no access controls protecting the area.Leer más

18 de mayo de 2022, Perú ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
After a brutal all night bus trip further South, we pulled in to Arequipa at around 0500. It was dramatically colder, and higher- about 7,600 feet. Fortunately, Annette had arranged for a super early check in, and by 0600 we were in bed on sound out. Much later that morning, we ventured out to explore the Plaza de Armas, and this Museum known for housing "Juanita." She is the mummified remains of a 12 year old girl found atop Mount Ampato, a volcano nearby, in 1995. She had been buried in the ice for centuries, and was even more remarkably preserved than the other mummies we had seen. Physical evidence of trauma (and her placement on top of the mountain) suggest she was killed as a sacrifice. Alas, photos were not permitted, and it was a little creepy anyway. On a happier note, I found a coffee and chocolate house- 🤩 and got to try another new and tasty fruit ( the little orange guys).Leer más

After Juanita, we stopped at the cathedral that is the centerpiece of the Plaza. We got a tour of both the cathedral and the museum. The cathedral took major damage in the 2001 earthquake (8.4 on the Richter scale) which toppled a spire which crashed through the roof and barely missed the massive organ inside. It's all been well reconstructed, but wow. Anyway, the cathedral itself is gorgeous, and we were up on the roof by the bell towers just in time for sunset. Very nice indeed. The museum tour showed us many beautiful religious objects, but both Annette and I felt an uneasiness with what felt like an ostentatious display of wealth in an area with so much poverty. On a completely different note, we went to an AMAZING restaurant for dinner. Alpaca- cute, fluffy...and delicious.Leer más

19 de mayo de 2022, Perú ⋅ ⛅ 43 °F
We took a day trip up (literally - it was at >14k feet!) To Salinas and Aguada Blanca Nat'l Reserve. Very international group, and we became friends with a guy from Paris who spoke great English and virtually no Spanish, and a couple of young ladies from Lima- one spoke pretty good English, one none. The day was fun: we stopped at Mirador viewpoint to see the 3 volcanoes surrounding Arequipa: the iconic and still active Misti, the 19,000 feet tall Chachani and Pichu Pichu, followed by a simple breakfast at a small local place en route (where the guide was strongly recommending coca leaf tea ( the leaves were on the table) to combat the effects of altitude. Then UP! The Reserve itself was stunningly beautiful...and I got to see flamingos!! 🦩Most have migrated, but there were still quite a few stragglers. We also saw 3 types of camelids: vicunuas (wild), alpaca and llama (domesticated). The site was gorgeous.Leer más

After Salinas, we got wet. First we went to a Hot Springs, which should really be called a lukewarm springs. Still at high altitude, and cold. But it was fun to splash around and the mud was said to be good for the skin- much smearing occurred! Then we went to Ubinas reservoir in the shadow of Ubinas volcano (another active one). There we took a quick spin on a kayak, just for fun. At the end of all this we headed back toward Arequipa and stopped at a place renowned for it's traditional food. My favorite by far was a rocoto relleno: a stuffed pepper with an intriguing filling with meat, raisin and a bit of cheese on top. Annette is enjoying the variety of potatoes (over 1000 types here!). After the tour, our friends from Lima invited us to go with the to Mirador- a church plaza that looks out over the city for a lovely view. All in all, a long but fun day.Leer más

After a lovely breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Plaza de Armas, we took off for a river rafting trip down the Chili river. The group was once again extremely international and a lot of fun. When we tried to take a selfie, the whole vanload got in on the game! The canyon was gorgeous, and the river was mostly class II and I think one (possibly 2) class III, which is more intense than I've ever done. It was AMAZING. And it just might have included a ~25' jump from a rock...Leer más

ViajeroLet's also not forget to add how damn icy the water is... runoff from the local mountains/glaciers.

And finally, a walk through a slot canyon with pre-Incan petroglyphs. It was a gorgeous and interesting walk. And stacked stones EVERYWHERE at the canyon entrance and exit points. Nice sunset views of the Misti volcano on the way home, too!Leer más

Viewpoint of the Volcanoes

The highest place I've ever been outside of an airplane at 16,100 ft. From this viewpoint we could see essentially a ring of about 10 volcanoes. And one erupted while we watched!! Super cool...and, yes, I also mean that literally - windy and cold!!Leer más

ViajeroLisa, you are so adept at this travel journaling! I am thoroughly enjoying following you guys. So, with the volcano, were you guys ready to run???!!

ViajeroNah, we were pretty far away. Seems to be pretty routine here- most folks were totally unimpressed. WE thought it was totally cool, though!

Hot Springs, sleeping at 11,600 ft, and a super cute little town. Mostly a stopover on the way to Colca Canyon, which is a bit of a haul, but cute nonetheless. Best part- hot springs and a drink called a Colca Sour. Kind of like a Pisco Sour, but made with cactus fruit instead of Pisco grapes.Leer más
