Machu Picchu: Sagenhafte Stadt

Heute ist der große Tag: wir wollen Machu Picchu sehen. Und zwar am besten bei Sonnenaufgang und bevor die Massen ankommen - also stehen wir mal wieder um 5:00 auf, sind um 5:30 bei den ersten Bussen den Berg hinauf dabei, und sind um 6:00 in den Ruinen. Zwar ist es diesig-neblig, aber so haben...

Annäherung an Machu Picchu: Aguas Calientes

Wieder heißt es früh Aufstehen: um 6h15 fährt der Backpacker-Zug von PeruRail aus Cusco ab. Die Fahrt der Schmalspurbahn beginnt mit einem als "zig-zag" berühmt gewordenen Streckenabschnitt, auf dem der Zug unter vielmaligen Richtungswechseln aus dem Tal Cuscos emporsteigt. Mitten durch arme...

Unter Gringos: Cusco

Der Flugplan der LAN zwingt uns, früh aus Arequipa aufzubrechen. Um 8:10 steht der Abflug nach Cusco an, und als wir um 7:00 am Flughafen sind, entdecken wir entsetzt riesige Menschenschlangen aus kompletten Reisegruppen. Wir erreichen unseren Flug gerade noch durch "dynamisches Anstehen", und...

Auf nach Peru

Morgens mit dem Zug über die Grenze: die wiederbelebte Verbindung der Ferrocarriles Tacna-Arica besteht aus Täglich zwei Hin- und Rückfahrten eines alten Triebwagens (Baujahr 1952), der mit vielleicht 40km/h hupend am Strand vorbei über die Grenze rumpelt. Zur Abfahrt um 9:30 müssen wir eine...

The night of six stories - Back end of Cuzco

Veg is back, thats right, back. After just about completing the 5 day trek our thoughts turned quickly to letting our hair down & beer. Well, i say that as if we hadnt had a drop of the good stuff for 5 whole days, which isn~t actually true. What i mean to say is that we couldnt wait to get away...

The climax, Salcantay Inca Trail

So, here we are. Only 10 days left in South America and what better way to end it than a 5 day excruciating Salcantay trek, climaxing at the grand Machu Picchu ruins. It starts tomorrow, the 31st July, so ill update the blog (and the rest, tsk) upon my return. The thought of another 5 days...

Bowler hats VS Boaters? The Peruvian experience

I miss fashion, so i was glad to notice on my bus journey crossing from Copacabana in Bolivia to Puno in Peru, that the Bolivian/Peruvian ladies enjoy different types of hats. Im going to look into the reason for each selection of hat, being so random im sure i wont be disappointed by the result...

Off to an Amazon camp a bit up the river. A big disappointment.

Day 11

The final leg of my journey takes me to Iquitos, in the heart of the Amazon. Overnight is at the Hotel Turista. (Really, can't get a better name than that, can you?)
