Puno and Lake Titicaca

We had a great meal last night in Arequipa and a few Pisco Sours, and woke up early this morning to catch a bus to Puno - which is a city by lake Titicaca. Joe left Martin and me for the U.S., and we arrived at the crazy bus terminal around 7:30am. The bus ride was interesting and included...

Lake Titicaca

We arrived in Puno in the morning and were able to go directly on a tour to Lake Titicaca. Lake Titicaca is the world highest navigable lake and according to legend, this lake gave birth to the Inca civilization. Thus it is regarded as a very sacred place. Soon, after the minibus ride...

En el lago mas alto del mundo

Otra vez huelga y otra vez a dar vueltas. El trayecto de Cuzco a Puno es de una duracion de 6 horas aproximadamente. Yo he tardado 13. Pero he llegado. He tenido que tomar 5 autobuses diferentes: de Cuzco a Sicuani, de Sicuani a Espinar, de Espinar a Imata, de Imata a Juliaca, y de Juliaca a...

The Last of Peru

The day after I got back from the Inca trail, I started lessons at a Spanish school in Cusco. The school was pretty cool, with a roof terrace where students could chat to each other (if you managed to catch the sunny part of the day, usually in the morning). I had two weeks of one on one...

Not Puno Day

The hostel in Puno was really quite nice. It was organised into little apartments and our room was part of a two bedroom apartment, sharing a bathroom, kitchen, and TV room with one other couple. At first the manager seemed very keen to please and very helpful, but we soon realised he was just a...

Still hangin´ in Puno

I talked with the airline who lets me know my bag is in now at the Juliaca airport. Me and Jason hop on the local bus into town, and then onto a sketchier bus to the airport. The one guy there tells us to come back six hours later, because the fellow with the key to the luggage area won´t be...

First day in Peru

I find myself just after midnight in the Lima airport. I just barely made the connection in Houston, but I have learned my backpack has not. Do I stick around another day or do I press on and let the airline take care of it? I opt to press on. I fly on to Juliaca, then take a cab to Puno...

The Great Laptop Heist

It will go down as one of the greatest crimes of the century. Somehow, in the downstairs compartment of a luxury night bus, in a locked room with only 9 seats, while my bag was between my legs and I don´t remember ever being asleep, somebody managed to rummage in and swipe my laptop. And...
