Travelogues Peru

Finally in the Andes! A true place of longing! Four years ago, I visited the highlands of Bolivia with my mother. We were overwhelmed by the Andes and the culture here....

As already explained, we have decided to skip Colombia (for now) and go directly to the Andes. Lima has around 12 million inhabitants and was a real culture shock. Large...

Paracas is a protected coastal area and is also known as the Galapagos of Peru. With a chaotic and poorly organized tour, we visited the nature reserve from Pisco. First, we...

In Lima, I had the pleasure of meeting Juli's sister Tatiana, where we were also able to stay. She has a beautiful and large apartment with a pool on the roof in the upscale...

So beautiful and yet sick

The flight to Lima was probably the worst we've ever had: thunderstorms to the right and turbulence most of the time. That's the help help. Lima is the largest city in South...

From Lake Titicaca, we took a bus for about 12 hours across the border to Peru. Our destination was the beautiful city of Cusco.

23.10. I wake up in the breakfast hall with TV accompaniment. The clouds hang low outside. How will the weather develop today? I'm hungry and ask for fried eggs, bread, and...

31.08. every house has its own story. Some freely tell it, others are more reserved. The hostel in Piura is quite talkative and tells me about the good times it has...

Maybe it's because of my visit to the Protestant missionary clinic in Curahuasi, which I made a few days ago on my trip to Abancay, that the living conditions of the rural...

Today is one challenge.

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly, let's fly... So my next stop on the way to Cusco was Nasca, which is a relatively small town, which is famous for its closeby Nasca...

In the morning, we reach the desert city of Nazca. We will be picked up soon and wait briefly until we are taken to the airport. Here we check in and are taken to the small...

After visiting the Chauchilla Necropolis, we returned to Nazca and went to the eastern part of the city to the Aqueducts of Cantalloc. Here too, I quote excerpts from the...

There's always the morning after the party, but where better to spend it than on the beach? After not getting enough sleep, I drag myself out of the hotel with Alina. On the way...

Then I went out and after 5 minutes realized that I had forgotten my wallet. Then I went back again and of course panicked that they had already broken in and taken everything,...

Hello, hello and hello, it's me again... Today's episode is about the hiking experience in southern Peru that was unexpected for us, extensive, but somehow expected due to the...

Last night, my friends and I decided to climb the Rainbow Mountains. We were picked up in the morning by a taxi that took us to the starting point of the hike. Since it was...

We used the last days in Peru to go to the beach one more time. This would be the last opportunity within the next few weeks, because in Canada it is still quite cold in spring...

To reach the legendary Inca city of Machu Picchu at an altitude of 2400m, we first drive by van from Cuzco to Ollantaytambo. During the rainy season, the train only runs from...

There are still 2 more sights on the program: the pretty town with Inca ruins Pisac and the salt terraces of Maras. Unfortunately, both are currently not accessible due to heavy...

Wow! What a difference. In the city with 8.5 million inhabitants, it is very western. The houses are 'normal' built, it is clean and the people also drive normal for Peruvian...

After the challenging trek in Cusco, it was time for some relaxation. And where better to unwind than by the sea. So I went back to Paracas, alone this time as Bianca and I had...

April 8-10, 2018 In Puno on Lake Titicaca

Vor einigen Wochen war ich bereits mit Fragebögen, Kugelschreibern und Süßigkeiten für meine Versuchspersonen ausgestattet und wollte mit meiner Befragung loslegen, als ganz...

09/10/2017 Tuesday: Today I am going from Paracas to Huacachina. Before we really get started, we have a visit to a nature reserve on the agenda. Very impressive and windy, but...

04.10. Today I had a lot of luck in the game, otherwise I would have drifted quite far to the west - to the coast. My hostel owner points out the village of Chiple to me,...

At around eight o'clock in the morning, our tour bus arrived at the Arequipa terminal. We were all exhausted from the long overnight journey, and we could only check in after...

Inca, Inca, Inca ... los alrededores de Cusco están formados por muchas construcciones incas. En la mayoría de ellas se puede caminar subiendo muchas escaleras. Algunas...
