Mancora is a small and laid back town in front of the beach. So the possibilities of shopping there are very limited, but even though there are some things you need to buy like water, haha.
Well, you have the open market, which is daily open and you will find fresh fish, seafood, fruits, veggies …

Abancay is located in the highlands. It might not be a big tourist destination, but maybe it'll change if the inca ruins they discovered there get more studied. I'm talking about: "Choquequirao"
In order to visit Choquequirao, you have to do a 5 days long trekking, leaving from Abancay, but firs…

Macchu Pichu was awesome. Before I went many travel blogs and sights suggested flying into Cusco, staying there for a day to get used to the altitude, then taking the train down. I did experience altitude sickness with very mild symptoms. When I took the train from Poroy down to Macchu Pichu I gradu…

Nasca is a very cowsy city, filled with wonderfull shops, great food (avocado with potatoes) and extremely nice people.

Make sure when you come to Huacachina in a taxi that you dont get convinced by the taxi drivers to go to someplace you didnt have planned because they make a big commission on bringing you to a handful of hotels. If they keep badgering just get out and walk because huacachina is very small and you c…

Mancora is a town with a beach, but it's not the only beach in the area. In order to move around, the easiest and cheapest way to do it is taking the "mototaxis".
They are perfect for short drives between the town and nearby beaches. We took one from Organos to Mancora and we had luggage even a s…

As their slogan says "The pleasure of traveling by bus" it's a pleasure traveling with them.
Cruz del Sur is the most expensive company here, but it's expensive according to our standards. Maybe for short distances you would take another bus company, but for a night bus or a long drive I'd highly…

There are three different trains from Cusco to Aguas Calientes: Most people take either Backpacker (see my other review), or the Vistadome, as the Hiram Bingham is a waaay pricey luxury train.
As opposed to the Backpacker, the Vistadome train offers some ridiculously cheesy entertainment to amus…

It occurred to me that sometimes we are not warned about simple things concerning travel. Be aware that you can't expect to simply snap shots of all the interesting looking people of Peru. Most times, you will be expected to pay for the picture you took of the lady holding the cute lamb, etc. Many o…

It's nice to walk in Cusco, Peru. Cusco is a great place to experience. The thing about it is that you must go back up-hill at some point. If you get the urge to become lazy, take a taxi cab. The rates are ultra cheap. I paid something like 1 sol from a restaurant to my hotel. 1 sol is about 1/3 of …
