Peru Travel Blogs - Page 7

I have been excited the whole week about the idea of finally start travelling this 2008. Sure, it would be because of business, but also I would be able to enjoy and have fun in the States. My final destination was New Orleans, but could find the way to go to Austin - spend one night there - and sp…

Well Peru hasn't been that kind to us as of yet.  Unfortunately we got stung at the border crossing with about $40 worth of fake notes.  We didn't realise until the landlady at our hotel looked at us with a sorry expression and said "Falsa".  It is a word that we …

What a pain in the butt!! For the first time ever, crossing the border was hell! We finally got to the border town on the Ecuadorian side, when we were told that its immigration office was located on the other side of town! Luckily we got picked up by a couple who kindly enough dropped us off there…

The adventure was getting over. I was flying back home, to my dear Lima. I was feeling happy, because I'd see my family and Gunther again, but also sad, because I didn't want to stop traveling, :( Well, I might be flying back to the States soon, hehe.As I said before, I wasn't able to sleep during …

Being the new wonder of the world Machu Picchu is the one of the most attractive tourist sites in South America.. I can not define the feeling when I felt there.. So you need to live it..

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 :).

I spent 3 nights in a fantastic hostel called Miraflores House, run by a jovial man called Francis. Despite my initial misgivings about Lima (it´s a big city of some several million people, many who are poor, and there are areas where you really shouldn´t go), I had no troubles there at all. Let…

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

I arrived to Lima at 10:30pm. It was a long flight, but I didn't sleep long. I could have done it, but didn't want to, hehe. It wouldn't be a good idea sleeping during the flight and be awake at home during night. It took me long to get off the plain. But it was nothing compared to what I saw. OMG!…

After waking up ridiculously early at 4:30am to make sure I didn’t miss my 7:20 flight, I get to the airport to have my flight delayed 3 hours.  Not that surprising for Quito Airport, due to its altitude, perpetual cloudiness, and well, being in Latin America.  I finally get…
