Three hours south of Lima, the national reserve of Paracas is a little paradise for fauna fanatics. It is the home of countless species of birds, seals, dolphins and other sea animals. It is made of a peninsula and small islands, The Ballestas Islands.

So after leaving Huacachina, we went straight to the small village of […]

Since the north of Argentina which was early February for us, we hadn’t been below 2000 meters above sea level. So when we got to Nazca, 50km from the Pacific ocean and 900m of altitude, we were expecting a change in weather, humidity and lung capacity. Well, we got the hot weather, not so much […]

So after Cuzco and its glorious Inca history, weheaded south for “the white city” of Peru: Arequipa.

So here it comes: the trek that all south american explorers have in mind when going through Peru: four days of walking the ancient Inca trail that links the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco to the beautiful lost city of Machu Picchu.
