We took the river back to Puerto Sungaro where we got a collectivo ute to any place about 3 hours south. That happened to be a place called Pasco in the area of Constitution. Carol had tried in Puerto Inca to get a boat all the way there but it worked ... Read more >

We decided to go to Puerto Inca and not Pucallpa which is a big city and only visited by those heading inland to Iquitos (the largest city without road access in the world) by river. We boarded a pickup and they put us in the front seats, it is cheaper ... Read more >

Headed to the 'buses leave from here' part of town and watched out for one heading for Pucallpa. We were unsure whether we were going to go there or head south at Km 86 where the road divides. Found a bus and a bus helper gracias enough to organise front ... Read more >

Got a mototaxi (or tuktuk in the east) to the bus, luxury but it was too far to walk with our packs. Ate there then had a 3 hour journey to Tingo Maria which is north of Huanuco. Carol went searching for a room and was a bit dismayed with what was on ... Read more >

Found a hotel (Fergo) just around the corner from where the bus came in. Got a nice room con bano and tv for 15 soles(double). Not sure that it´s a good idea to have a tv, time just disappears watching mindless programs and we tend to stay up really ... Read more >

You may have noticed that the name of this page is La Union and not Huánuco. That is because even though Huaraz and Huánuco are only about 150 kilometers apart as the crow flies but by road it is 354 kms and therefore 2 days travel! We left Huaraz at ... Read more >

We arrived in Huaraz, a small city surrounded by snowcapped mountains and famous for it's wonderful trekking, at 6.30 am. Not wanting to disturb anyone that early although it seems that most people in this part of the world start their days at 5 am, ... Read more >

A 6 hour journey by bus took us through the border and into Peru to a place called Piura. An uneventful journey although we were aware of the change of country. On the Peru side the land was less cultivated and the houses often were of sticks or sticks ... Read more >
