Hi there! Just a quick update for you before we do the Inca Trail on Wednesday. We have been in Peru now for about a week and it has mostly involved long bus journeys on bumpy, windy roads. We passed through the north and centre of Peru to reach a place called Nazca. Nazca is close to the coast of Peru and is located right in the middle of the desert.

Hi everyone, We are writing this from Peru….we just crossed the border from Ecuador last night. We are currently heading south towards Cusco for the Inca Trail (24th September) but we´ll be making a few stops along the way hopefully. Now, lets recap what we have done over the past few days.

We´re flying to Lima tonight which is a stop-over on our way to Guayaquil in Ecuador. I can´t believe we´ve only been away for a month, it seems like we´ve been away for a lot longer as we´re well used to the backpacking lifestyle now. Although in fairness we´ve have had it fairly easy so far....no cold sho...
