Inca Jungle Adventure to Machu Pichu

After a late briefing the night before we set off bright and early to begin our Inca Jungle adventures! We walked a couple blocks to get our mini bus but it was late – typical South America. On the bus we also met Ed, a lawyer from London. From Cusco we set off full speed […]

Exploring Cusco and Wild Rovering

Cusco was an absolutely lovely city – we couldn’t have picked a better location to spend a little longer in. We stayed in the Wild Rover (Hostel) again, the same chain as the one we stayed in La Paz -it was really nice; fresh and new! We had six days to kill here so Alex mostly worked […]

Home stay on Lake Titicaca from the Peruvian side

We arrived in Puno after a pleasant bus journey fairly late but the bus company we went with (Bolivia Hop) took us directly to our AirB&B host’s front door which was very nice of them. Karmen was the a crazy and lovely host. She reminded me of my mum which made me automatically like her. […]

Exploring Lake Titicaca and Isla del Sol, Bolivia

No we’re not back in Brazil. Copacabana is the main village in Bolivia on Lake Titicaca where you get a boat to Isla Del Sol. We arrived here around midday from La Paz and Alex got ripped off when buying the boat ticket – he paid B$25 when the lady after us paid B$20. Must have […]

Sunny San Pedro

The border crossing from Salta towards the Atacama Desert was in the middle of a desert surrounded by big rocky mountains and here is where I had my first taste of altitude sickness. We got off the bus at 7am and we were at 4000m above sea level. I got off the bus needing fresh air […]

Mummies struck by lightning in Salta

After yet another long bus journey from Mendoza and a mini transfer we were in a cloudy Salta. The bus journey was a hard one and all I wanted to do was to sleep. Al had a few harsh looks off the locals because he refused to tip the guy who put our bags in the […]
