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 >

Up
at 5am yet again – I wonder when we’ll next get up after the sun has
risen. William, our guide, came to
collect us and duly informed us that the group now consisted of 9. Our instinct was that this was going to be
too large a ... Read more >

The
group turned out to be much, much bigger than we’d expected at 24. On talking to other they were as surprised as
us and in general people are more used to walking in smaller groups. Obviously the beginning of the day involved
lots ... Read more >

We’d bought tickets from the Power bus company
the previous evening and were a little worried that it may not go since we were
the only ones to have done so. Anyway by

We grudgingly checked out of our lovely room
and walked down to the bay to hop on a boat back to Copacabana. Once back in town it took a while to rouse
someone before we could pick up our bags – I think we’d been the first and last
to ... Read more >

On checking out we left all our luggage bar an
over-night bag as we were off to catch a boat to Isla del Sol on Lake
Titicaca. Many people choose to do this

With Sorata’s main square still all dug up
there was a modicum of confusion at the minibus stand. Not surprisingly our directo bus turned out

With an extra day on our hands we decided it was time to head out of the city once and for all and find somewhere to relax and catch up with chores. Sorata sounded like it would fit the bill nicely at 1000m lower than La Paz and a population of less ... Read more >

The same taxi with driver Edwin was at the hotel bang on 8am to collect us to begin our next expedition. We rendezvoused on the outskirts of the city centre with Sixto, a boot load full of stuff and our technical guide Theo. Once again it seemed to ... Read more >
