Hey Everyone! In Bolivia now, but still on Lake Titicaca. In Copacabana, nice, but not half as exotic as it's Brazilian counterpart! Sun is shining, but its cold! It's impossible to get money in this place, no ATM, and the system is always down at the bank. We threatened to sell Ben's body, until the locals had a whip-round, so Tuesday night we had a packet of crisps each instead of sharing! Took a boat out to the Island of the Sun yesterday (for H'...

Hi Guys! Arrived in Puno on Friday, it's cold! We just chilled out yesterday and went to visit the Yavari, a naval boat from the mid 19th Century, made in England to sail on Lake Titicaca. At the time, she had to be carried by donkey from Arica (now Chile, then Peru) hundreds of miles across land and reassembled on the lake. Today we visited the Uros floating islands, made entirely out of reeds. The islands have been inhabited since hundreds of year...

Hi Guys! We arrived in Arequipa from Cusco on Tuesday, and decided to launch straight into the next tour. So yesterday we arrived at the Colca Canyon.

The trek was fantastic, and not too strenuous following our Inca Trail escapades. We crossed the Colca River and trekked up the valley, passing local ...

Hey Guys, We made it! Nearly unscathed! Just got the Inca shuffle down to a T now (M and P, if you're reading this how are the legs?). It was amazing. The pictures don't even do it justice, and we couldn't describe it well enough. We started the trail at Km 82 on Monday morning. We were in a group of 15 trekkers, with 2 guides. We had 15 porters and a cook to look after us along the way, though we only saw them at mealtimes and in the evening. T...

Hi Everyone, We visited the Sacred Valley on 27th June on a tour. The weather was horrendous, very cold and wet and it snowed! It made us nervous because we were due to do the Inca trail the following day. First stop was Pisac market. Managed to haggle ourselves some alpaca wool socks to keep our feet warm, but it was so wet we weren't really interested in the rest of the market. Visited the archeological site of Pisac afterwards which was very interest...
