This weekend I drove back to Cusco for a daytrip to Palcoyo. My original plan was to visit the famous Rainbow Mountain. However the road there is currently blocked because of a dispute of two communities owning that land.
So the alternative was to go to Palcoyo which is in the same area and to be honest I’m super happy that I went there because I did not only see one rainbow mountain but multiple. This place was magical and completely out of this world. The mountains, the colors and the whole landscape was incredible 🤩Read more

Karina, my lovely Airbnb host in Pisac 😊 invited me on a San Pedro hike today.
San Pedro is a cactus 🌵 and the traditions related to the use of the San Pedro cactus in Peru are dated back more than 3,000 years. It's a very powerful master plant and it goes straight to the heart and avoids the defenses of the mind and the resistance of the ego.
Hiking up a valley surrounded by mountains, exploring the ruins while imagining how it was back then, when people actually lived there was a beautiful experience. Probably also because of the effect of the San Pedro :-D this hike was really heart opening and I felt very connected to nature and my inner child.Read more

Next stop is a little oasis in the desert called Huacachina. We jumped on a buggy for a crazy ride on the sand dunes. We also stopped at a dune to do some sandboarding.

Today I decided to do a full day tour. First stop was at Paracas where we took a boat to Islas Ballestas which is full of sea lions, birds and penguins. All the islands are white and you might guess why 😅 yes it’s from the birds poo.
It was very fascinating to see the birds catching fish. Hundreds and thousands of birds a flying and then shooting straight into the ocean to catch the fish.
After the boat tour we drove to a local Pisco manufacturer in the city called Pisco 😎Read more

Going on a food tour is already an established routine I do in every new country 😀 this one was really cool because we also learned a lot about the city and the people of Peru.

Today I arrived in Lima and I just realized how much I have already missed the ocean and the vibe that comes with a place that is located at the ocean.
After walking around I was really impressed of the Miraflores neighborhood and the green and black cliffs that separates the town area from the beach.Read more

Despite the cloudy weather and basically no clear view on the vulcano I still decided to hike up to the Cotopaxi Refugio at 4864m. The altitude was pretty challenging but absolutely worth it. On the way down the view got a bit better but still very cloudy 🤷♂️Read more
Na du machst einen guten Eindruck in diesen Höhen 😮 wir sehen da anders aus 😅

Remember the last hike started at 3000m. This time it’s almost 4000m 😁 I’m glad for my little hiking friend who followed me the whole way down and up. Thanks buddy for pushing me 🙏🙌.

It’s time for a little hike around the crater lake Cuicocha at over 3000 meter above sea level. I realized how much I’m out of shape 😅. However on the map it says that the hike takes around 5 hours. I did it in 3 💪
I also saw another Halo 😀Read more

After figuring out that "Mitad del Mundo" isn’t actually the middle of the world I drove to the Quitsato Sundail. The Ecuadorian Military Geographic Institute has placed two cylinders surrounded by concrete on a platform on top of the Equatorial line, with a 1 mm error margin determined by using GPS and GNSS equipment. Well I would say this sounds way more accurate 🤓
Little funny side note. They have toilets for different body heights 😁. The left one is for people taller than 1.85m 👌Read more
