Hello from Arequipa, we`ve been here for 10 days and done lots of amazing things but I`ll try not to make this too long.... We arrived in town, spent a night in a hostel and then moved to Wayra Swisse hotel just outside Arequipa. Sean`s friend Jon has an uncle here, Roger, who owns Wayra Swisse and very kindly invited us to stay. The view of the terraced valley and misti and chachani volcanoes is amazing. When we arrived Roger told us it was his 10th wedding ann...

Hello from Nazca! Since Cusco we`ve moved around quite a lot. We went to Ica, an average little town, it was a bit smoggy but we were only there to go to Huacachina to do some sandboarding. Huacachina is a little town around a lagoon in the middle of desert sand dunes, very chilled out. We went out on a crazy sand buggie ride and got boards to go down the dunes. The first 3 were medium sized, we did them twice and by the second time we managed to stand up quite ...

Hello from Cuzco! We arrived here late at night, our bus journey into town wasn`t great but our hostel was lovely, like a family run hotel, it was really cozy and their 3 month old puppy was really cute!

There were 11 people in our group, the others were all part of a 7 week organised tour so they all knew each other. They all spoke English which was good, some of the guys were...

Hello from Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. We don`t have much time before the inca trail but we thought we'd stop at the lake for a couple of days. It`s a nice change after the hussle and bussle of La Paz as it feels like a small seaside town. On our first day we looked around the big moorish church and then climbed up a steep hill on the edge of the town for a view of the lake. The climb was quite tough, although older locals seemed to find it ok, I`m blaming the ...

Hello! We're in Bolivia now, we spent a few more days in Ticara as we liked it so much. Sean fitted in 3 more final Argentinian steaks and it worked out well as we bumped into Chris and Helen again, the English couple we'd met in a few places in Argentina. We spent an evening drinking fernet, the local herby spirit, watched the sunset and arranged to meet in Bolivia to see the salt flats. The boarder crossing was easy, the transport wasn't as easy but we got a s...
