You've got to visit La Bocana. It's this crazy little Peruvian village perched on the sand dunes next to the Pacific ocean, several hours south of Mancora. The whole places looks like it has been blown in with the plastic bag garbage, & one more ... Read more >

I've just had a great week. I went to the Pacaya Samiria reserve in the amazon jungle. I think it's the biggest national park in Peru. It was incredible! We travelled by canoe for 5 days & slept out in the jungle...on the HARD ground under mosquito ... Read more >

After 5 minutes of trying to flick the red-brown reptilian like peel from an aguaje fruit, a peruvian woman frustrated with my ineptitude grabs it & descales it rapidly with her thumbnail. I am grateful but secretly hope that she has washed her hands ... Read more >

What an incredible adventure! Rafting down the Amazon River on a flimsy bamboo raft held together with jungle vine & a few prayers. It’s the ‘Great Amazon River Raft Race’ - the world's longest. Sure I knew that competing would be tough & ... Read more >

There goes my street credibility - a wrinkly old peruvian grandma steals my purse, my 10 soles ($4 aussie) & my pride. Third time lucky for the thieves - 1st failed attempt by street kids in Santa Marta, Colombia; take 2 at Belen market in Iquitos and ... Read more >

I'm in the desert, toes dipping in the Pacific ocean. I'm in Colan, Nth Peru. How cool to wake up sweltering in the balmy heat of amazonian city Iquitos, jump on a couple of planes, & fall asleep next to the sea, being lulled to sleep by the sounds ... Read more >
