Peru Travel Blogs

I guess this entry might be the last entry of my endless blog. This blog became much longer than expected, which made me really happy since it means I met several people here in Peru or anywhere else. I wish, I'd never end this blog, but I have to accept its difficult to go through all the entrie…

It was a regular Tuesday, well except from the fact that mom wasn't at home... but I'm already getting used to it. Anyway, I remember she told me she's be back in a few days, so I'll be brave. It was noonish and it was a bit warm and sunny, so I was just being lazy and laying on the backyard aka my…

This would be the last entry of this blog, why? Well, the 25th is my TB Anniversary and I'll start a new Meet Up blog... I wasn't sure if something would be going on before the anniversary but it did and was fun! A while a go I noticed Lubor was coming to Peru. I posted a comment and then we starte…

Today is the last day of a great roundtrip Peru!   The boat took us in less than two hours (down stream!) to Tambopata River Port. A bus took us to the travel agency in Puerto Maldonado to recollect our suitcases.   Next was the LAN Peru flight from Puerto Maldonado to Lima (with a sh…

Walking and taking some shots around downtown, you'll see around several 16th and 17th century buildings, among other attractions: - Plaza de Armas- The Cathedral- The Presidential Palace (Former Francisco Pizarro's House)- San Francisco de Asis Church & Convent- The City Hall- Plaza San Martin…

Waking up today without having to meet TB's felt so strange... I missed all my friends. These past few days have been incredibly fun because of you my friends!!!I feel so happy that TB's and non TB's from different countries and even continents could meet in Lima. We all rocked. Everywhere we went,…

Lima also has an old colonial center. It has, as every South American city does, a Plaza de Armas, in other words the main square. Lima’s plaza de armas is a quite attractive one, with a big cathedral, the presidential palace and old yellow colonial buildings. The cathedral also houses the gr…

We arrived at the Plaza Mayor, Lima’s version of a Plaza de Armas, or main plaza.  What to do?  Have you guessed it?  We sat on a bench and consulted the guidebook!  We decided to tour the church for S/10.  It was a big church and of course we got split up.  It was n…

I went to Iquitos in order to attend to a business course. Anyway, I could spend a free Sunday just before going back home. My flight was scheduled at 9am, but a friend who lives there offered to show me around Iquitos. He asked me, what are you gonna do in Lima? Mmm, he was right. I had no plans.…

Briefly said. The best trip you can imagine. Great culture, fantastic nice people and an outstanding nature. Really worth every penny.

Before leaving Piura I called the taxi driver, so he would wait for us at the airport. Flight was good and didn't last long at all. We arrived to Lima earlier than expected. It was 7:10pm when we landed. At that time it wasn't still dark in Mancora, but it was dark in Lima. First sign I was back in…

Today it was my flight back home, but first I had my national flight from Cusco to Lima. It all went very smoothly and in no time I was in Lima. Looking over Peru it was already saying goodbye to my definately beautiful, astonishing and breathtaking trip through Peru. When the plane landed in Lima …

Friday 29 Feb, 2008An airport representative in the line told us our flight was delayed 20 minutes, so we relaxed a bit. After the passport check station was the security line. We all got through quickly and without incident, so we headed to our gate. As soon as we got there we had to board immedia…

  Sacsayhuamán (also known as Saksaq Waman) is an Inca walled complex near the old city of Cusco, It’s also the place where the Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun) takes places every year on June 24th. But I will not talk about Sacsayhuamán or the Inti Raymi this time. Th…

Yesterday I met Lubor and we agreed to meet today in the afternoon. I even gave him some recommendations about what to visit in Lima during the morning, hehehe. But plans should change. I'd forgotten I volunteered to drive to the airport and pick up my aunt. I got her flight info and she and my cou…
