Big old tarantulas, small deadly scorpions and boa constrictors. Oh and it was all in the place I wanted to visit since childhood, The Amazon Jungle. Iquitos is the biggest city in the world that can’t be accessed by a single road. You have to sit on a boat for 5 days or fly. Stuck […]
Lima, Peru
There are many parts of Lima, some nicer than others to rest your head. We decided to stay in the upmarket Miraflores, ‘cos weme posh like that! Miraflores is a beautiful part of the city with parks including the ‘park of love’ which I assume isn’t a sexual thing, at least we didn’t see anything […]
Paracas, Peru
The smallest town I have probably visited on this trip and we favoured staying here over Pisco. Rightly so from what we saw too. Paracas is a really nice little quaint fishing village with just about enough restaurants and bars to entertain you for the few days you are there. The main reason we were […]
Nazca, Peru
A really quiet little town that has a couple of things to do but the main reason to go is to take the smallest plane you have ever been in and fly over the famous Nazca Lines. Museum Antonini With an afternoon to kill we headed to the museum in town. It’s pretty small but […]
Arequipa, Peru
I actually liked Arequipa for what it was. Its not quite as good as Cusco for history or the surrounding area but its still pretty nice. The big plus is that its not quite as ‘gringo’ ready, although still is full of bars and restaurants. Some of the architecture is stunning though and is very […]
The Inca Trail, Peru
Well, what can I say. One of the most amazing experiences of my life to date. The whole thing is one big challenge but a very rewarding one. I’m not even talking about Machu Picchu, I’m talking about the Inca Trail here. Stunning scenery, great group of people and mysterious historic place at the end […]
Cusco, Peru
The city where our Incan journey began. Filled with history at every corner you simply can’t get away from the cities charm and endless things to do. You could spend a month here and still have possible things to do in and around the city. I won’t get into the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu […]
