So our dreaded day finally arrived! Time to start our four day hike to Machu Picchu. I don't know why we were dreading it so much...four days of hiking uphill, baby wipes as showers, squat toilets the whole way.. So easy! But our tour company was actually really good, the guides really looked after you and the food was amazing! Always three courses, and they were so delicious, we couldn't believe they cooked so well when we were all camping. The last night they...

Cusco is a beautiful city! Very touristy with all the modern comforts as its the main route to get to Machu Picchu. It had such a great atmosphere, we loved it there! Every meal we had we loved. Our first brekky was at this cafe owned by an Aussie and it was awesome, the best coffee of the trip - felt like we were back in Melbourne. We also had dinner at this great place called Inka Grill, it had great Quinoa & Trout. Cusco definitely won us over with the f...

On the final day before we left, Jarrad asked and it turns out that the owners weren'...

It's such a colourful city with great markets for shopping and so cheap! The only thing is, it's very hilly and high altitude so it was very tiring carrying around all our parcels. One of the highlights was running into a brother in the street one night. He was on his way home from the...

3 days behind schedule we arrived at Samaipata. A beautiful little village in the mountains, 3 hours from Santa Cruz. We got to stay with a Danish couple, Poul & Charlotte, who are friends of the Henrikksens. They were absolutely lovely and made us feel right at home. Their place was great too had a beautiful balcony with hammock overlooking the valley and all the comforts of a normal home. Which I guess is why they have survived in Bolivia for 10 years. The...
