Huaraz, Peru

We have arrived in Peru! We left our accommodation in Quito at 12.30 and took a Taxi to the airport. Our flight was on time at 4.50pm so two hours later we were in Lima, Peru.

Once we had collected our bags and gone through immigration we got an Uber to take us into the city and to the bus station. The driver was crazy weaving in and out of traffic.

We then got a 9.45pm night bus which took 8.5 hours to get us to the mountainous city of Huaraz. It was actually a very comfortable bus (see photos) like the ones we had in Mexico, so we got some sleep. Once in the city another taxi to our hotel where we were in time for a 7am breakfast!

The next few days we are trekking so should have some lovely scenery to see. The mountains around here look amazing. We went into the main centre and listened to a brass band playing and checked out a few trekking companies and made some bookings.Read more
