Day 22 to Day 24 Corona has us - or rather me - really great at 3500 meters above sea level. Cough, knockout, breathing problems. On day 20 there was a slight scratchy...

Apart from Machu Picchu, there is so much to discover in the Cusco region. Right next to the city, behind a hill, lies Sacsayhuamán, a former Inca fortress. It was probably also...

We could be worse off with massages and good food...

Upon arriving in Cusco, we wanted to acclimatize ourselves before our multi-day trek in the mountains, so we decided to do a lesser-known day hike to Huchuy Qosqo. After extensive...

Before and after the Inca Trail, we stayed in Cusco and visited the Rainbow Mountain on a day trip.

It was a bit to be expected, but when we started our first exploration of the 'most beautiful city in South America', we already felt a bit of alien feeling. It had started...

From Cusco, we start the classic Inca Trail and hike to Machu Picchu in 4 days.

After countless bus rides on gravel roads in sometimes not very comfortable buses with dirty toilets, we are already excited on our way to the train station: we are taking a...

After a bumpy night drive with little sleep, we arrive in Cusco at 7am. We get into the next taxi, drive to the hostel and are surprised: In a small side street above the city...

27.06.: wake up, pack, take a shower, have breakfast, change the scooter, pack up and go. And yet it's already 12:00 o'clock when I finally sit on the Vespa. My host mother said...

The upcoming tough week couldn't start any 'worse' - night bus from Arequipa to Cusco. Even though 'Cruz del Sur' is extremely comfortable, it can't be compared to a bed....

Hello dear ones, The adventure in Peru has now been going on for a week, and I've experienced so much again! I'm really enjoying my time here, although the culture shock is...

The alarm clock woke me up at ten to three. I was able to sleep relatively well yesterday, but was awake a few times. I got ready and then opened the window because my window...

Cusco is a major destination of our trip and we're finally here. The capital of the Incas is located in the middle of the Andes at 3,500m and was once the center of the ancient...

We started our Peru tour in Cusco in August/September 2019. This is perhaps a bit unusual, as you are supposed to acclimatize slowly to the altitude. However, I must say that it...

We continue to follow the footsteps of the Incas and hike to a high mountain lake.

For two weeks now, we have been in Cusco and have visited many Inca sites here. We were amazed again and again at how perfectly the Incas built the heavy stones on top of each...

THE highlight of any visit to Peru. It won't surprise you: the Inca ruins are of course highly commercialized. The only 'official' way from Cusco to Machu Picchu is by train. If...

We noticed the altitude. It's really not to be underestimated. Headaches, shortness of breath, nosebleeds, and sore throat have been accompanying us since Bogota (2640 meters...

So it's time for an update again. Today we are going on the Inka Jungle Trek, which lasts 4 days. Maybe some of you know that it is customary to hike the Inka Trail to Machu...
