- Woke up at 5 am to catch the 6 am bus to Aplao. Shit - think I am catching a cold. Weighing the pros and cons, decided to get more sleep and rest and take the day slow. It´s a pity that Toro Muerto Petroglyphs is not happening. - Started my day ... Read more >

- Woke up at 7:30 am again and had a nice hot shower. Two things I really liked about the hostel were (1) When they said they have hot water, they meant it. One thing to keep in mind though is that there is a certain daily quota of hot water in each ... Read more >

- Arrived at Arequipa at 7:30 am and checked into Posada del Parque Hostel. Posada del Parque was recommended by Walk On Inn, so I did not bother to do any research. They let me check in right away, and they have internet access, which were huge bonuses.... Read more >

- After being ripped off yesterday (by paying 40 sols, which is almost 15 USD for a cab), I promised myself this would never happen a second time. Goal of the trip is to walk or take public transportation wherever possible. Saves money, and also the ... Read more >

- 1st day of trip. Saying I was 'thrilled' was an understatement! Had breakfast with Mark, and Lucy and Vien drove me to the airport (Thanks Lucy and Vien!) - At the (SF) airport, as I stepped into the restroom, a Hispanic cleaning lady hushed-hushed ... Read more >
