The flight to sao Paulo was really quick, about an hour, we then had to go out of the terminal and back in again to get to our next gate. There were no signs anywhere of where to go so we had to ask someone which was stupid, the airport was huge and had tonnes of restaurants takeaways and shops, but these were all before security so once we went through there was one duty free and then about 5 small coffee shops all selling the same overpriced snack. There was no...

After four hours sleep we got a taxi to the bus station to start our day tour to Puno. It was much more expensive than getting the direct bus but the direct bus got you into Puno at 4:30am which is just a ridiculous time to arrive anywhere. The tour bus was about half full and the gave us a piece of bread to start which was nice. We also got free tea and coffee on board the bus. Our first stop was to Andahuaylilla Where there was a really old church and even th...

The bus to Cusco was horribly warm during the night meaning we didn't sleep much, and we also got in on time at about half past 7 meaning we were really tired. We got a taxi to the hostel where we were given some coca tea for the altitude. We couldn't check in to the room until 1pm which meant we had loads of time to kill. We headed to the centre because we were starving and wanted something to eat, nothing was open but we had been told there was a McDonalds near...

We arrived in Arequipa early and weren't able in to check in so we had to wander round the town early on a Sunday with not a lot going on. It was a bit boring, and as we had just come off a night bus we were not in the mood to explore.

We did decide to do the free tour, where we met a girl who had travelled down from mexico so we ...

When we got to nazca, there was loads of people hassling us for taxi's, none of them seemed to be official but one said he knew the owner and said his name which we knew, we went with him and we didn't have to pay for some reason when we got inside. The hotel was a nice small place and we got a TV in the room where we watched a film that night. We arranged a flight for the next day, at first we had to be ready for 8 am but then weather conditions meant we had to...
