Huaraz Travel Blogs

Holy crap, altitude sickness. The plan was Circuito Llanganuco Santa Cruz starting in Huaraz. It  turned out to be one of those classic it all came together travelling experiences. I swapped a pair of shoes for the tour, they were a little small. The guide needed a new pair and was keen t…

Almost missed the bus to Trujillo this morning, a combination of waking up late and dwadling getting my things ready.  By the time I had my bag downstairs, Teo was nowhere to be seen.  Anita was trying to call him but he wasn't answering.  I should have re-confirmed with him in the m…

This is about my own experiencie living and sharing with other cultures and life styles at Lima, Perú, and everywhere I could travel.

I was meant to go on the Santa Cruz trek the next day, but there was no a chance in hell that I was getting up at 5.30 in the morning after the banging headache I had after Laguna 69.  So I took a day off and just chilled out.  Valerie had suggested going to the thermal baths near Montere…

Leaving from Tayabamba the bus made its way up higher into the mountains on the start of the 8 hour trip to Sihuas. As the road climbed higher we left the reaches of civilization behind and passed into the high altitude zone where there was barely any visible signs of life. At this high altitude th…

Based on yesterday, today should be fun. We were going to drive 360km to Trujillo (pronounced Troo-ghee-yo) of which, the first 80km is on a red road, the next 100-120km is on yellow “road” and the rest is back onto red. Trujillo is on the coast and is, based on the guidebooks, Peru’s sec…

I wanted to fit in with all the extreme mountain climbing types hanging around Huaraz... but saying that I'd walked around a few mountinas (ie Santa Cruz trek - last entry) wasn't quite cutting the grade. So I set off with Holly (Coloradenese) to go climb Nevada Pisco in the Cordillera Blanca.…

I would just like to inform everyone that, after 5 litres of water, ritz crackers and chicken noodle soup, I am feeling much better. Will start trekking in a day or two, and will update after that. Tonight are all the Independence Day celebrations, and I´m going out with a Belgian girl and Korean…

As you may have noticed, the daily blog has fallen by the wayside - I just don't have time or convenient internet access to keep up, so full details may have to wait till I get home.Highlight of the past week was a trip to Chavin to see the ancient monuments there, which are fantastic as you can ma…

These ruins are really old, dating from 1200BC-200BC.  Guess what, that puts them into the familar ´pre-Incan´category that has linked all the previous ruins seen and desribed (badly) so far! The site contains the usual indications of where houses, storage rooms and altars etc might have be…
