Following the footprints of the incas.. So we climbed to Machu Picchu. It took as two hours and we were barely alive as we reached the top to admire the magnificent views of the lost Inca city. It was well worth it when we finally reached it but it was a really steep climb. After resting a while and taking the usual touristy pictures, we wandered around the ruins and I have to say that the incas creations are really impressive.The Inca empire was the largest emp...

I eventually got used to the life in high altitude, but the first few days I was having problems breathing and minor headaches.. but the coca leaves helped:)We've been staying at "hostels" 4300m high and the highest place we drove to was at 5060m, where we went to see geysirs.

It was so scary to cycle among the crazy argentinan drivers, who don't seem to know what a lane is and just speed away with their battered cars. (E...

The grass is greener on the other side... Argentina has a new president, Cristina Kirchner. She's the wife of the former president and she won with 40% of the votes (and the runner-up had only 23%).
