Meeting at Reserv. Tour agency at 7am ready to embark on our first real peruvian adventure! We met the rest of our group which was made up of a Swiss girl Susanne, and 4 peruvians who spoke litttle english so we were a little worried about what to expect. We wanted to do the jungle trek because it included cycling, rafting and zip lining along the way. After the safety briefing we were all kitted up with helmets, knee and elbow pads ready to start cycling for 3...

This was a scary but hilarious experience - hopefully a video to follow! Out hostel Carola Del Sur is pretty ba...

I was Slightly apprehensive for the long flight ahead and it wasn't helped by the fact I left my bank card in vodafone this morning, with a mad panic run to retrieve it I only made my train to Gatwick with moments to spare! After meeting Liz at the airport the nerves turned into excitement and we were finally in our way. Fingers crossed I don't have anymore mishaps! We arrived safely after an exhausting 12hr flight into Lima, then we were faced with the task ...
