After spending so long in Bolivia, one of (if not the) poorest countries in South America, it makes a nice change to be in the slightly wealthier Peru. Arequipa, the 'whitewashed' city is one of those places were this is particularly obvious. We arrived off our night bus early in the morning, and caught a taxi to the hostel. After settling …

On Febuary 3rd, we join up with the rest of the group, and the truck which will take us on our overland tour down to South Africa, through Kenya, Tanzania (and Zanzibar), Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia, finally arriving in Cape Town on March 15th. From then, I have about three and a half weeks to make my way east, to Johannesburg, and from there fly out to Buenos Aires. From Argentina I head into Brazil at Puerto Igazu, before heading to Rio and then on through Bolivia via Salar de Uyuni, and La Paz, then crossing the Peruvian border at Lake Titicaca. In Peru, I will visit Machu Picchu, before flying home from Lima, via San Jose, Costa Rica and Guatamala City.

Of all the places on my trip, Cusco was one of the ones I was most excited about visiting, being the nearest city to Machu Picchu, the 'lost' city of the incas. The first thing I did when gett…
My last stop in Bolivia was Copacabana, on the shores of Lake Titicaca. We arrived on the bus at about 7pm and checked into a hostel, before heading out for dinner in another town which exists…
