  • Salkantay to Macchu picchu and Lake TiticacaAnother country and finally a chance to put up a blog. The internet can be a little dodgy and unreliable in Bolivia so although its been a while, it doesn’t mean we have been standing still. We are now Posted by mike1967 in Andiamo Coles | Dec 1, 2011
  • Cuzco, where the catwalk got its claws...Black hair, dark eyes, pretty smile. Somehow it always seems to start with a girl and a pretty smile... I sent her a message through Couch Surfing and met up with her. She wrote she was an artisan, did photography and Posted by b.d.reinink in Inspiración | Nov 30, 2011
  • Week Fourteen? I’ll admit, I was skeptical. Thanksgiving in Peru sounded like a recipe for the world’s biggest disaster. Having never encountered a single turkey in Peru – wild or hanging from a clothesline in the market – I had good reason Posted by ktconroy1604 in Gap Year | Nov 29, 2011
  • Cusco and Spanish School (3-12 November)On our return to Cusco we decided we should take some Spanish lessons before we got any further into our trip.

  • Peru (part 2 - Camino Inca)Day 1 We're up at 4:45am and it's getting light already!!

  • Raqchi homestaySo today was homestay day, I'd been looking forward to this day since the sand dunes. Unfortunately I had terrible Tummy trouble all through the night and the 12 hour truck journey to raqchi. I don't want to give all the Posted by selson in South America! | Nov 26, 2011
  • Huacachina to ChivayWe woke up on the dunes to a slight amount of carnage. Lots of bodies in sleeping bags everywhere, the remains of the camp fire and a mass of bottles. There were a few sore heads which were quickly sorted Posted by selson in South America! | Nov 26, 2011
  • Machu PicchuWell here it is...my second attempt at a blog. Slightly more exciting this time as Im actually in Peru for the whole thing, rather than most of it being about my airport traumas. The last few days we have been trekking Posted by jemmaprice84 in South America | Nov 26, 2011
  • I guess he let me down when he didn’t disappoint me...7 AM. We just climbed 1610 (uneven, rocky) steps through a cloud covered, bug invested jungle. In front of the entrance, up since 4 AM. I paid several hundred dollars and trekked for 4 days to get here (I could Posted by b.d.reinink in Inspiración | Nov 26, 2011

  • Aguas Calientes....(Machu Picchu)...photos addedSorry, this entry has been a long time coming! We had a whole week in Aguas Calientes as it was such a great place to chill out and recoup our energy. As I said Kate had been quite ill before we Posted by Sl_dpm in Sarah & Kate's South American Adventure | Nov 21, 2011
  • Land of the Incas - PeruAndres is extremely dedicated and writes all the following while Jen is lazy for a week or so....

After reading more than Posted by Jen y Andres in Grand Adventures in the Americas | Nov 19, 2011
  • Will we ever get to Peru??Well we finally arrived in Peru - only 2 days late. For those of you who didn´t keep up with the facebook updates or my texts to my concerned parents here´s what happened... We arrived at Gatwick at about 7am on Posted by jemmaprice84 in South America | Nov 19, 2011
  • Lima to huacachinaFollowing a ten hour drive to Lima we arrived to be faced with a ridiculous amount of traffic and more stares ad attention from the locals as we took our truck through the narrow streets.  As we got there late we Posted by selson in South America! | Nov 19, 2011
  • PeruBack in Lima after an amazingly diverse 5 weeks of travelling around this continent. After a not-so-comfortable start (I found Lima to be not the nicest of places), I flew to Cuzco and met up with my friend Tash, whose Posted by mona_pie in Mona's big adventure | Nov 19, 2011
  • Entry 13: Desert Dunes and Mysterious Lines==Am: == When we got to Ica we got a taxi to Huacachina, which is an Oasis in the middle of the desert surrounded by sand dunes- its s very surreal place. Unfortunately, the water in the Oasis is polluted and Posted by ajuandamanee in Am & Ajay's Big Phat RTW Trip | Jun 29, 2011
  • Entry 12: The City of Kings==Am: == As we flew into Lima all I could see was dust- I did´t realise that Lima is actually in the desert, hence all the dust! We had booked a transfer to our hostel as taxis in Lima don´t have Posted by ajuandamanee in Am & Ajay's Big Phat RTW Trip | Jun 26, 2011
  • From Lima (Southend on Sea) to Huacachina The OasisWe had an unusual LAN flight from Medellin, Colombia to Lima, Peru; which involved our plane landing in Quito, Ecuador, letting all the Colombian passengers off and letting a whole load of American tourists on, (while we sat there wondering Posted by BakeJoBond in Our Trip | Nov 18, 2011
  • Machu PicchuUntil one week ago, i didn't believe in altitude sickness. Now I understand exactly what it is... something you can't stop. 52km across various altitudes and mountains over 4 days doesn't sound that hard... until you see the mountain. Climbing Posted by astroalex in Follow the Sun | Nov 17, 2011
  • Punta Sal to LimaAfter an early start on the last morning at the beach as I was on breakfast duty, we headed off again on the road towards Huanchaco. Huanchacho is a small seaside town which seems to be famous amongst surveys. We arrived Posted by selson in South America! | Nov 17, 2011
  • Week Twelve This Saturday was Sports Day for Awamaki. We invited our weaving and sewing cooperatives from all over the Sacred Valley to join us in Ollanta’s soccer stadium for some good, clean family fun. While I never attended day camp as Posted by ktconroy1604 in Gap Year | Nov 15, 2011
  • Risky business“Better safe than sorry” “Doe maar gewoon, dan doe je al gek genoeg (just act normal, that’s crazy enough)” Sitting on an 18-hour bus, winding its way through the Peruvian Andes.

  • Inca Jungle Trail to Machu PicchuFinally the day of my Inca had arrived and I have to say I was a little apprehensive. Thrilled I had managed to book on a trail on the same dates as Ali so I wouldnt be sitting arround Posted by victoria86jayne in vicky and chris south american adventure | Nov 14, 2011
  • Puno, Lake Titicaca and a stay with a Quechan familyLiterally had the worst bus experience by far getting to Puno from Arequipa.

After about ten minutes I nearly had to Posted by victoria86jayne in vicky and chris south american adventure | Nov 14, 2011
  • A cross continent flight to Arequipa PeruWith money at an all time low for both Chris and I, it was time to decide where our next plans lay.
