A weeklong adventure in Cuzco visiting surrounding architectural and historical sites including Machu Picchu and several incan and pre-incan locations in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Same people different place. Decided to go to downtown and take a look around it. It was midday and remember there was a great place in china downtown. Decided to go there and get a delicious lunch. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early in the morning we jumped in the car and headed out towards 'Asia' a group of private beaches eighty to ninety km from Lima. The concept of the private beach in Peru had become quite controversial in recent years.  Apparently the primarily white, wealthy property owners of 'Asia' had mad…

I love going to Orlando. I guess being in a kind of fantasy world where the decisions basically revolve around which park to go to, which roller coaster to take or where to eat your hamburger is very relaxing because it is so different from our regular life. Of course even there one just cant avoid…

The flight back home was ok. I sat next to 2 people who also worked in the same industry as me, haha. They were American and would be their fist time in Peru. One would stay just 1 night and then flight somewhere else. Mark, the other one, would stay in Lima for 3 days because of business, but woul…

We got to Lima, Peru two days earlier than expected. We were originally intending to fly into Lima on the 1st May, however between the 1st being a public holiday and us needed some extra time to get to cuzco we decided to shift the flight forward to the 29th April. We´d been reading the lonely p…

After booking our bus in Cusco, we took a 7 hour journey to Puno. The bus didn´t seem to take that long...we think it was because there was o much to see on the way.  This included a series of stops where locals got on board to sell us food and drink, which all looked very unappetising! …

We work a lot in the amazon and so to celebrate the great year our company had we decided to bring a little joy to a community directly within our area of operations. San Lucas is but a small village not very far from Iquitos, the capital of the peruvian amazon state of Loreto. Of course every soci…

Before you ask... No. I Didn't go to Macchu Picchu. And No. I Don't Regret Not Going :). I Went To Experience The Culture, And Meet The People...And...That's Just What I Did :).

Visiting Lima for me was one of the beginning of my 'conscious' travels and the beginning of my friendship with my Peruvian friends. By conscious I mean the times when I really paid attention to my surroundings in the place I was visiting and got curious about the different custom and lifestyles. T…

Monday - Wow!  We arrived in Lima after a long journey via Madrid and landed in the middle of the rush-hour (fortunately on the runway!).  We negotiated a taxi to our hotel in the salubrious neighbourhood of Miraflores (yes, our airport shuttle didn´t turn-up!).    &n…

we leave canada direction peru to find the real civilisation of the inca time

I was recently in Lima on a business trip and had been in contact with a TB obtaining advice and travel recommendations.  As a relatively new member to TB, I had yet to get involved with any meet-ups.  However, on this particular go-around, an opportunity arose where this particular TB wa…

Ok, so we arrive at the Jorge Chavez international airport in Lima. I was so excited to see my family again. They all live in Peru, and even though I visit them once a year, I still miss them terribly.  At the airport they were already waiting for us, of course, it was a very emotional meeting…
