Got to Peru after a long bus ride! Spend the last 4 days in Huanchaco by the beach mostly with chilling. The hostel is super cool, a real bamboo house with two annoying, loud parrots. Tried some newWeiterlesen

After almost 2 weeks on the beach, time for something different. Heading south and east into the mountains of Peru we arrived in Huaraz, a smallish town made famous and popular by the national parkWeiterlesen

4. Januar 2016 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 2 °C
There are loads of treks, hikes and other exhausting adventures available around Huaraz, we chose one which we'd been reliably informed was the easiest. Glad we didn't try the 'challenging' ones.
WeWeiterlesen

We heard lots of rather negative comments about Lima from other backpackers so when we finally got there we were pleasantly suprised. Even if we preferred smaller towns so far we liked Lima's style ofWeiterlesen

We found penguins! On the Ballestas Islands, a boat ride from the town of Paracas, where we were staying.
On the way out to the islands we also saw a strange candelabra symbol on the side of the hillWeiterlesen

We took a guided tour from the town of Paracas into the National Reserve. It's a really interesting place, a dry, empty desert meets the ocean with some fantastic beaches, cliffs and dunes.
AfterWeiterlesen

Huacachina is an oasis in the middle of the desert, really weird place! Not a lot to do but we came to this 'sandy gringo playground' for a reason to try out dune buggying and sand boarding. TheWeiterlesen

Just a short stop in Arequipa but definitely worth it. They call it The White City after the local stone which all of the old buildings are built from. It looks fantastic in the sunshine and we wereWeiterlesen

We stayed in an area of Cusco called San Blas, up on a hill. Apart from the steep climb to go anywhere it was a good choice. The tiny narrow streets are full of restaurants, souvenir shops and lots ofWeiterlesen

It was a 2 day trip from Cusco. On the first morning we had to wake up early to catch the mini van for a 7 hour ride to Hidroelectrica, chosen over the extremely expensive train option. It was aWeiterlesen
