Again arrived early into Huaraz we found a hostal and for the first time didnt have to have a sleep after a night bus, maybe we are getting used to it.We checked out the town and loved it. We sussed out heaps of companies to book the Santa Cruz Trek. In the arvo we took a local bus to some ruins close to town. As we waited in the bus for it to fill up before we could go we were treated to some diesel fumes care of the bus getting fixed next to us being right next...

We took a bus trip to Cajamarca where the last Inka was killed. It was an amazing trip. It was only about 350KM but took 12 hours.

We left Mancora thinking we would spend a few more nights on a beach 15 mins away called Los Organos so we got the bus there and it was feral so we got the next bus out of there to the only place this bus company went to called Piura. Pirua is a small transport town it was in the Lonley Planet so we kinda had an idea what we were getting into. We found a cheap hostel in the center which was nice and we just had a nice evening with pizzas and beers.The next day we...
