The
night bus from Trujillo took the expected 13hrs and we reached Chachapoyas as
the first of the day’s light was dawning.
It’s only a small town so it was a short walk down to the main square
where we were soon checked into Hostel ... Read more >

On
arriving in Huanchaco yesterday afternoon we checked into the excellent Hostal
Naylamp
which feels like a real treat. The rooms
are spacious, spotless and with 2 windows wonderfully bright and airy. We splashed out on a ... Read more >

We’d
hummed and hawed so much over what to do and where to go next that by the time
we left Huaraz we were on plan G! In the
end we jumped on a Yungay Express bus to Casma for Soles20 each and only a
4-hour ride. It turned out to ... Read more >

This
time our trek would take us to the Cordillera Blanca which we’d heard was
particularly stunning. By the time the
bus was laden and we were all aboard we established that it was a group of 11

We
awoke to find it not just cloudy but drizzling too – it was time to move away
from the city and hope the weather was better in the mountains. Movil Tours bus isn’t as posh as some of the
other luxury coaches but it’s a step up from ... Read more >

We
checked out of the lovely Hostal El Amigo after watching City’s lacklustre
performance against Stoke. We had said
that football wasn’t going to dictate our plans but so far we’ve just happened
to be in town when City are on telly ... Read more >

So
what brought us to Paracas? Islas
Ballestas: or as it is commonly referred to a poor man’s Galapagos. Yes, I know we’re booked on the real tour but

Oltursa buses turned out to be excellent and
to be honest the whole set up more closely resembled catching a plane. Our luggage was checked in, hand baggage was

We
were up at 2.30am for a 3 o’clock start; that can’t be classed as early morning
surely it’s the middle of the night! We
drove for about 3 hours to Chivay (3600m) where our tickets for Valle del Colca
where purchased and breakfast ... Read more >

Even
though we arrived in Arequipa early in the morning we got a taxi directly to Amazing Home Hostel that had been
recommended to us. It wasn’t cheap at
Soles 70 for a private double room but it was just what we needed. A ... Read more >
