Arequipa

The night bus to Arequipa was surprisingly comfortable and I got decent sleep (only woke up a few times when the bus took particularly sharp turns along the [[United-States/Mountainside]] roads). Martin had joined us in Cuzco and was pretty beat in Arequipa after multiple flights from BA plus...

Machu Picchu!

The 4th day of our trek had us traveling by bus to a hot Spring in Santa Teresa and swimming there for a few hours, we then made our way to the town of Aguas Calientes which serves basically as a tourist gateway to Machu Picchu. There really wasn't much trekking on that day, but that was fine...

Salkantay - Day 3: Jungle walking

We woke up sore, cold, and filthy on the third day of our trek. Today would be a relatively easy day with 6 hours of hiking through up and down terrain on a horsepath. We were now firmly in the tropical forest, which means the conditions become hot, muggy, and mosquito infested. It is...

Salkantay - Day 2: The Ascent

Last night was interesting. It became frigidly cold, even with sleeping and a full set of clothing on. To catch any more than an hour or two of consecutive sleep without waking up shivering or uncofortable was an accomplishment. I think I ended up taking a series of 5 power naps throughout...

Trekking in the Andes - Salkantay: Day 1

Day 1: 5am - I've been up for about an hour, having had a little more than 3hrs of sleep. We take a taxi and wait to board the bus to our trek's starting point. It's eerily silent outside except for stray drunken tourists and the faint sound of a disco still going strong. We board the bus...

¡HOLA!

Hello there, This is the first entry of the trip, though it has been a few days since we arrived here in South America. Joe and I landed in Lima, Peru late on Thursday night, pretty beat. We had taken SpiritAir, which left something to be desired. Let´s just say I had to basically sit...

Farewell Peru!

I don´t really have time to write anything more than this: I´m leaving Peru tomorrow! Tomorrow morning...early. Groan. But I am SO EXCITED about coming home because I miss it! Also, hopefully when I arrive tomorrow night, I will have a cat with me. :) This is after hours of phone calls to...

Peruvian Men, Wine, and Sand Dunes

So, the last time I left off describing my trip, Amy and I had just finished up a tour of Paracas National Reserve and seen desert, ocean, and flamingos from afar. Let me start from the next day. So, the next day, Amy and I took a bus down the coast a bit to Ica. Neither one of us...
