Peru Day 15
The End
The end of the adventure had arrived, and we were now heading home after a short visit to their gold museum.
Peru Day 14
The Beginning of the End
The journey back to Lima, ready for the end of our Andean adventure.
Peru Day 13
Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, and our last full day of activities. We saw the floating islands, and have dinner with the locals.
Peru Day 12
On the Road to Lake Titicaca
We weren't just driving straight to Lake Titicaca, we were getting to see some sights along the way in one last little roadtrip.
Peru Day 10
Feeling Better
James was now starting to feel better so we explored a little more of Cusco - at least what little we could find.
Peru Day 7
Machu Picchu Part 1
Finally we'd made it to Machu Picchu, the Incan citadel rediscovered by explorer Hiram Bingham.
Peru Day 6
The Sacred Valley
An unexpectedly enjoyable part of the trip was a day in the sacred valley, visiting more ancient sites and experiencing more of the Peruvian culture.
Peru Day 5
Exploring Cusco
We started with an internal flight to Cusco, and soon found ourselves exploring at altitude. This added height has unexpected consequences for my friend.
Peru Day 4
The Ballestas Islands
In the morning we carried on from Ica to Pisco to take a small boat out to the Ballestas Islands - the reason we'd been advised to take waterproofs with us. By the time the day was over we were back in Lima.
Peru Day 3
The Nazca Lines
Early in the morning we took a light aircraft over the Nazca lines, and then headed to Ica for our next overnight stay. This one would be in a place where it was encouraged that we didn't leave the premises.
Peru Day 2
Lima, and the Long Drive to Nazca
We started the day exploring Lima, and finished it with a very long drive out into the Nazca desert for our overnight stay. It was already an improvement over my trip to Egypt.
Peru Day 1
The Flight
The start of another adventure, this time on a journey that would take me to a mountain trail high in the Andes.
