Mar 15, 2010 - Cusco, Peru

Hi all! or should i say ¡Hola! Finally arrived here in Cusco on Saturday after a very long journey including 12hours overnight stay sleeping in Lima airport, feeling like true travellers!!!

Mar 13, 2010 - Trujillo and Chan Chan

Have you ever dreamed doing a career as a mason? Then you definitely have to visit Trujillo. ... Trujillo is located in the north of Peru, and it was founded as one of the earliest cities, given the name of Francisco Pizarro´s place of birth in spain. ... Chan Chan is an archaeological site located west of Trujillo. ... Finally I spent a nice day at Las Delicias, a nice beach in the south of Trujillo, mainly populated by Peruvians - and not that crowded as famous beach Huanchaco in the north. ...

Mar 11, 2010 - Chiclayo and Sipán

I just moved to northern city of Chiclayo, la cuidad de la amistad - The city of the friendship. ... Not much special to say about the city itself, it has a crowded centre around the central plaza, its very hot and they seem to like poultry restaurants and hairdressers ;-) The main tourist attraction here are the dozens of tombs created by the ancient Moche and Chimu tribes.I just moved to northern city of Chiclayo, la cuidad de la amistad - The city of the friendship. ...

Mar 8, 2010 - In Cajamarca

So first I directed to the city of Cajamarca, another 16 hour night bus ride. ... Cajamarca is a very historical place, as here 1532 for the first time europeans and incas met, when Pizarro captured incas king, Atahualpa. ... Back to Cajamarca, its located in a nice mountain valley, surrounded by high mountains. ... Close to Cajamarca there is the worlds biggest open pit gold mine, Yanacocha, at 4500 meters height. ...

Mar 4, 2010 - Agile Travelling

Today was a day to forget. As I really had no intention to walk by foot with all my baggage over there, not knowing if and when the strike ends and having in mind that I need to get back to Lima in two weeks, I decided to go back to Puno and from there to Lima, to do some travelling out from there until going home. ... here the clocks are going slower ;-) So I got back to Puno, knowing that I dont want to stay there not one day more, so hopped into a bus driving me in a 24 hour ride back to Lima. ...

Mar 2, 2010 - Islas Flotantes and Isla Taquile

Today I did a day trip to some of the islands of the Titicaca lake. First we visited to Floating islands located very close to Puno. ... They are built only by using Totora - a plant growing on the shores of the lake.Today I did a day trip to some of the islands of the Titicaca lake.

Mar 1, 2010 - Puno

Puno, what to say about it. ...

Feb 28, 2010 - Travelling to Puno

After many days in Cuzco I decided to go to Puno, on the shores of Lake Titicaca. ... The Abra la Raya pass at 4300 meters is the border between the Cuzco and Puno departments. ... You can catch some nice views of the snow mountains, after that the road descend down through the altiplano to Puno. ...

Feb 24, 2010 - Puerto Maldonado

As there was nothing more to do in Cuzco I took the chance to get to the peruvian jungle by staying four days in a lodge close to Puerto Maldonado. ... Puerto Maldonado is nothing special, typical jungle city, everbody here seems to like riding his motorbike - whereas they are usually occupied by 2+ people ;-) You can go there from Cuzco with bus in some days, depending on the road state, especially suring rain season, that is now. ... So I preffered much go there by an one hour flight ;-) Arriving there is like another world after Cuzco, its quiet hot and with a lot of humidity.As there was nothing more to do in Cuzco I took the chance to get to the peruvian jungle by staying four days in a lodge close to Puerto Maldonado. ...

Feb 23, 2010 - Coucher de soleil sur le Lac Titicaca

Cuzco-Puno, on le fait en bus version touristique. ... Le bus est censé partir à 8h, faire quatre arrêts dans des sites historiques pour nous déposer à Puno à 17h. ... Une église dorée, un site incas, des sculptures et une vue sur les Andes plus tard, nous voilà enfin arrivés à Puno (enfin, car les 3 Français chamaniques de nos fesses du dimanche, assis devant nous dans le bus, commençaient à nous pomper l'air avec leurs chacras et leur négativité positive de la mère de la Pachamama). ... Puno n'a pas d'autre intérêt que d'être le point de départ d'excursions sr le lac. ... Un dernier regard aux hommes habillés en noir et rose, aux femmes en train de filer la laine, et aux enfants qui vendent des bonnets, et on repart vers Puno. ...

Feb 23, 2010 - Sacred Valley

Today I went to the only trip available due to the close down of Macchu Picchu - a day trip through the Sacred Valley. It is located to the north of Cuzco, and faous river Rio Urubamba runs trough it. ... After a short pit stop in Urubamba, that gave the river its name, we arrived to Ollantaytambo, another impressive fortress. ... They built here some caverns into a mountain in front of the site, in a very unaccesible place.Today I went to the only trip available due to the close down of Macchu Picchu - a day trip through the Sacred Valley.
