Ica to Arequipa overnight

In Ica we made a mad dash for some food at a food court style place and then we were back on another bus to Arequipa. 21:00 depart and a 12 hour journey. We had VIP seats this time and it was even better! Personal TVs, even more leg room and even more recline!

We watched a movie and then curled up to sleep. It was certainly comfier than most coaches but at the end of the day, it is still not a bed. We had a pretty good snooze though and when I woke up to look out of the window, it was to views of volcanoes rising in the distance and a mountainous land with very few houses. The road continued to twist through the mountains and the view eventually gave way to those of valleys of lush green, in amongst the bare rocky mountains, with a lovely stream running through the middle and snowcapped volcanoes in the distance.

We were now in Arequipa, 2328m above sea level.もっと詳しく
