After a long day at Macchu Picchu we were glad to be on the warm comfortable train back to Ollyantambo. We arrived in around 9:30pm and were hopeful about a 11pm arrival back in Cuzco, however, this was not to be. Our taxi driver had to wait for two other people and so it was another hour before we set off without the missing two. The drive back was awful with bad rain and with the driver insisting on keeping his windows wide open, we both froze in the back. Ash ...

We got picked up at 8am on Saturday morning to do a tour of The Sacred Valley. This is a valley between Cuzco and Machu Picchu which encomappses alot of the Inca Empire. Our first stop was Pisac market where we browsed the usual alpacha garments of socks, gloves, hats, jumpers, the lot! We then headed off to the ruins which were pretty breathtaking and thankfully our guide was able to explain the landscape very well in English and Spanish so we were able to get a...

After arriving back from the Colca Canyon on Tuesday evening, we spent Wednesday just chilling before we got the night bus to Cuzco. Ash was feeling so much better thankfully and managed a pizza for lunch which was good! The bus left at 10pm so we were both pretty tired by the time we had boarded having chilled in the lounge of Cruz Del Sur (the bus company) at the bus station. We were very impressed, fingers crossed the journey would be the same and better than ...

We got picked up around 4am on Monday morning ready to hit the Colca Canyon after grabbing a bit of breakfast.

Ash didnt look great and complained he didnt feel well but the guides put it down to the altitude and told us he would feel better once we descended to the next vil...

We had an amazing sleep on our first night in Peru and felt ready and raring to go on the Sunday morning to explore! The sun was shining and when we got dropped off at the Plaza Des Armes, we were more than impressed with what we saw. Arequipa is the second biggest city within Peru and is known as the white city as many of the buildings are built of sillar, a pearly whie volcanic rock; this is what makes the place so beautiful. We spent some time wandering around...
