PERU | Thursday, 31 Mar 2016 | Views [464] | Comments [1]

Wiped off the diesel and up we got. Had a breakfast snack and hopped on the bus up to MP for our official tour, so seeing it twice was a real treat. The bus takes 40mins and winds up the hill. It's really quite hidden and you can't see it from the river ... Read more >

Day 61 v2: Trek begins

PERU | Monday, 28 Mar 2016 | Views [325]

5am at Peru Treks office to catch the bus...apparently they only like picking people up from hotels right in town, so we walked down. Breakfast at Ollantaytambo and chatted with our group after the sleepy bus ride. 14 in total: Ryan, Michelle, Andy, ... Read more >

PERU | Friday, 25 Mar 2016 | Views [286]

Got the low down from Manuel and headed up and over the hill. First to look out over Cusco under the small Jesus statue - every Central/South American city seems to have one. Then onto Saqsaywaman (POD). The Inca remains here look like you're in a Minecraft ... Read more >

PERU | Thursday, 24 Mar 2016 | Views [356]

Manuel made us a tasty breakfast and suggested he take us of a tour around his town. It's always great having a local show you round...he lives in Santiago so we walked a long way around the main bits of town. We saw the Sun God waterfall, ... Read more >

Day 54 v2: Barranco

PERU | Monday, 21 Mar 2016 | Views [221]

Headed to another trendy beachside suburb, south west of central Lima called Barranco. You really are smashed in like sardines when using public transport in massive cities...I just love having a crutch in my face. Barranco's cool, we walked a fair way ... Read more >
