Mountains

Huaraz is a city located in the middle of the Cordillera Blanca which means the white mountain range because there are several peaks over 6000m and loads of snow-covered peaks which makes it a really beautiful place for trekking and hiking, unfortunately right now is the rainy season so it’s not...

Conchas Negras

The bus from Tarapoto seemed to be the slowest thing on the road: buses from every other company overtook in a constant stream, even lots of lorries overtook us while we were going uphill. It was clear that they lied a lot about the arrival time as well as the fact it was ''directo''. There was...

The Long Journey Begins

The ferry from Lagunas to Yurimaguas was much more comfortable than the other direction. Several factors contributed to this: first, we found a bit more space to hang up our hammocks, but it is nicer being squashed up to friends than strangers anyway; second, I'd had quite a bit of practice at...

Move Any Mountain

Back in Lagunas after the jungle tour, we were taken directly to the tour agency and who should be there but the beer-thieving Argentinian. Before we could confront him, though, he offered us each a beer; apparently it was someone's birthday in the agency and he had bought a batch of beer for a...

Pelejo es Pendejo

We had been scheduled to arrive in Lagunas about 10pm, but the boat leaving four hours late, as well as a not totally unexpected extra two hours in transit, meant that we arrived at 4:15am making the hostel stay we had arranged redundant, since we would have to get up again about 6am to set out...

Urine Aguas

In the morning our overnight bus arrived in Yurimaguas. When I collected my bag from the boot of the bus I noticed that one strap was wet, then Daniel discovered the whole bottom half of his bag was soaking. By the time we found the cheap hostel another traveller had recommended Daniel, we had...

World's 3rd Highest Waterfall

Nigel, Daniel, and I met up for breakfast and agreed that we didn't want to shell out so much money for another tour, so we decided to make our own way to the waterfall, ''Catarata Gocta''. First we had to catch a ''collectivo'' to the nearby town of '''Pedro Ruiz''', which is on the main road...

Spanish in Ruins

When I unpacked a bit at the hotel in '''Chachapoyas''' I realised that I had left ''On the Road'' on the bus. Having carried it since the second week in Thailand I wasn't going to lose it without having read it, so I ran back to the bus station only to find it all shut up. The bus had arrived...

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...
