We were feeling somewhat better and wanted to get out of our hotel room as quickly as possible, especially to be independent from the cooking skills of others. So, we left pale...

After a sad farewell to the Andes, we headed back to the sea overnight to Trujillo - the third largest city in Peru after Lima and Arequipa. For a change, we treated ourselves...

After the wellness time in Lima, we felt refreshed and wanted to explore the heights and the Andes one last time. So we took a winding and arduous bus ride to Huaraz at 3100...

Chullpas de Ninamarca

In Peru, a visit to Machu Picchu is a must, and we wanted to fulfill this long-held dream. Unfortunately, there have been such heavy rainfalls recently that the treks like the...

Finally in Peru! As beautiful as Chile was, we were very excited about Peru, a new culture and new impressions! Upon arriving in Arequipa, we first indulged in the large...

And first to Peru. The first impression was very good, a bit simpler, cheaper, and more chaotic than Colombia and Ecuador. In Jaén, we spent only one evening/night before...

We will stay in Cusco for a longer time, a fantastic city! In the 15th and 16th centuries, it was the center of the Inca Empire, which stretched across the Andes - from Colombia...

We set off head over heels the next morning for a four-day action tour through the lower jungle to the world-famous Inca ruins "Machu Picchu." There are several trail options to...

After my adventure on the volcano, I spent the week very relaxed. Of course, I was still involved in the project at the school, and in the afternoons, Linda and I explored the...

Once again, we have landed in a beautiful and very pleasant Peruvian city. After a short stay in Puno, we have remained here for a longer time. We have always enjoyed being able...

I really like Cusco - a lot. The narrow streets, the food, the people, the atmosphere... everything. After 4 months of 30°+ heat, it was really cold for me at first, even though...

Time has flown by - I spent more than 3.5 months in the Peruvian Selva. Conclusion: I really enjoyed it and by the end, I felt quite at home. The 'family' from Santa Rosa said...

The last day in Peru has come, and I wake up early. By 6 AM, I am already sitting at breakfast, enjoying my final moments in Lima. The coffee is strong, the fresh fruit tastes...

5 days in the jungle - simple accommodation, but all the more adventure 😁, or so they said... With our guide we drive south in a taxi for almost two hours, from the town of...

Iquitos is a world of its own: Only accessible by boat or plane, it is surrounded by jungle in the far northeast of Peru, with Brazil and Colombia not far away. We take a...

Exactly today, 8 weeks ago, my adventure began. As 'feared', time flies by – and this is of course a good sign 😉. During these 8 weeks, I have already experienced and learned a...

After four weeks, I have completely settled into my new life in Peru. I feel comfortable in the community and have adapted well to the climate. Currently, on weekends, I am in...
