Hey visitors here are some pictures of lima my town..

Last night was bitterly cold. Most nights here are. Normally I´m not out at two in the morning in the middle of fucking nowhere in order to appreciate this fact all the more. Why was I in the middle of nowhere, you ask? The last four days were spent doing things I never thought would be possibl…

I had the most exciting horseback ride in my life today.  I was suppose to go with a friend, but she got sick so it ended up just being me and my Spanish speaking guide.  It ended up costing me $10 including tip for about 2 and a half hours of riding with my private guide.  Luckily t…

I spent a day gallavanting around the sacred valley, wondering why I was climbing all these bloody mountains to see the Inca ruins, when I had specifically not done the Inca trail to avoid such torment! Despite the huffing and puffing, it was a spectacular day. I went with a tour group which was fa…

After hanging out in Puno for a couple days I was very excited to get to Cuzco and check out all the old Inca ruins, do a trek and ultimately visit Machu Picchu.  Once I had arrived at my hostel, the girl I had sat beside on the bus to Cuzco, a Welsh guy and I all went to get some pizza at a p…

On the main square in the center of Cuzco is an adventure activities company named Mayuc.  They offer a wide variety of packages from one day to eleven days/ten nights for white water rafting.  I only had enough time for a one day rafting trip, and it was worth every penny.  We left …

We arrived in Cusco via Lima. We´re staying at a hostel we found on hostelworld.com. IT´s really cute, but at least a mile from the main square. We THOUGHT that would be great.. We can get some exercise.. The first walk into the square was cute. We passed little skinny little streets with shops a…

It was my first mini TB meet-ups outside Lima, it was at the night, in a bar. Nice atmosphere, and tasty drinks......  

It was time again to be up and at the station early to catch the train to Puno. The triweekly trip across the Altiplano was scheduled to leave Cusco at 6:55 in the morning. This was a different station and railway than the one for the line to Macchu Picchu.  This line had been concei…

I went to Peru with classmates and two crazy history teachers for spring break my junior year of high school. I look so young! And I wore so much pink!! lol.

After machu picchu, we returned to Cusco for the inti raymi, which takes place in sacsayhuaman. We stayed at hotel oblitas. (s/d $ 18/26).  It's 1/2 block from the main plaza, close to everything pretty much. The place was decent, with hot showers, nice people, laundry and continental breakfas…

This is the blog about my travels around Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile!

Peru is one of the most beautiful places I have ever traveled to. The people, the food, the landscapes are amazing.

This trip was one of the most memorable of which is held in Cusco Inti Raymi (quechua 'Festival of the Sun') was an ancient Andean religious ceremony in honor of Inti (the sun god), which took place every winter solstice in the Andes.Durante the time of the Incas, Inti Raymi was the most important of the four festivals held in Cuzco and Machu Pichu Picchu known beauty ...
