Boat decided to go up river and not down like we need – starting to wonder if the town is plotting to keep us here. Enjoying the Ceviche for lunch everyday. It’s fish (and other seafood) cooked with lime juice and is as fresh as can get. Found ... Read more >

Found out we may be stuck here for about 5 days until a launcha (big boat) gets here to head down river. We collect locals wherever we go, which is getting tiring fast – these guys don’t talk, just stare and listen in to others who are brave enough ... Read more >

After shopping around and mulling it over Jess decided to take a flight over the “lines”. It was 35 minutes in a blender but totally worth it. It was a 4 seater plane which could spin on a dime and did often as the piolet fancied himself as some ... Read more >

Well on the move again and to one of my personal highlights – Nazca – home of the famous and yet mysterious lines. The place is a small town in the middle of nowhere!! The town survives because of the tourist travel for the lines but most people ... Read more >
