Take on Me

In the morning, we booked a last-minute quad tour in the desert for the morning. This quad tour turned out to be “driving around on a pie

Post 1 - Huacachina Oasis and Paracas NP.

Now I am getting back after a long time. The last few weeks have been very eventful. As mentioned in the last report, I have been living with a new host family since the end of...

From Lima we take a bus about 4 hours south to Ica - a city in the middle of the desert. Despite being in the desert, there is enough water here to support agriculture in and...

Rainforest and Desert Where were we in the rainforest and what did we experience there? In Puerto Maldonado! Extreme heat with even more humidity! In our lodge: About...

Good thing I was in bed early yesterday, because today I have a lot on the agenda again! I start with a coffee and a juice and set off for the boat trip from the port of Paracas...

At 4 p.m. everyone from PeruHop met. I met another couple who come from Germany but now live in Switzerland. We then went into the desert with our guide. It makes you want to...

What an awesome day!!! After breakfast, chill out, splash around in the pool, drink smoothies, relax in a lounge chair on the roof terrace, read to each other... that's vacation...

On my first full day in the South American desert oasis, which was also my first day off, I spent my time sandboarding with three Israeli guests from the hostel. Sandboarding...

It is a long way from Chachapoyas to Ica, which is why we divided the journey into 3 stages. So there was a stopover in Chiclayo and Lima. What we experienced there, I have...

On Peru's coast there was a first. It was somewhat calm and Kai could bring himself to play a round of speed badminton with Silke. Although our technique is not yet fully...

Let's review the past weeks in Peru together: We started in Lima, the capital, then went to the jungle and the Amazon, followed by mountains and lakes, so what's missing?...

On to the oasis - in the end, everything will be fine...

Ica is located slightly south of Lima on the coast and is a desert city. I chose it because it is slightly less touristy than the cities of Pisco and Nasca (with the Nasca Lines)....

5.11. Unser letzter Tag in Huaraz vergeht rasch und gemütlich: wir bezahlen nochmals eine halbe Zimmermiete, damit wir bis abends um 9 Uhr in unserem Raum bleiben können. In...

When we arrived in Ica, we quickly realized that it was quite an ugly city. Aside from constantly being approached about "tours", the drivers made it as difficult as possible to...

Day 16 of quarantine and still no end in sight. By now, we have settled in quite well in our hostel and have managed to adapt to the rather monotonous daily routine....

I woke up at 6:30 but still felt a little bit of the alcohol. Then I lay in bed for a bit and then went to the roof terrace at 7 to have breakfast. My first accommodation with...

At 8 p.m. there was a barbecue organized by PeruHop for 50 soles (approx. €12.50) with a 1 hour flat rate drink with three cocktails. Of course I take that with me. I was at the...

The drive to Huacachina was very relaxed. We had an air-conditioned bus and the journey was only 90 minutes. Our guide was very nice and she explained everything to us. There...

Well, I'm sad. I have to leave my perfect accommodation and drive to Ica. That's how I booked it, so that's how it should be. Ordered an Uber and went to the bus station from...

Unfortunately, I spent my last day in Peru going to the desert. I took a 5-hour bus ride from Lima to Ica, where the desert is located. After a long bus ride, I arrived at the...

After many days and partly sleepless nights at high altitude, we continued towards the coast and finally back to sea level and warm weather. After another sleepless night on the...

There she is again, Ines. Well, Ica is not my city. Loud, dirty and incredibly crowded. One more night and then I can go back to Lima. Got up this morning, made myself some...

Day 11. What, just one day? Yes! Definitely yes! The journey has now truly begun and we are doing what we are here to do. Life! And I have 4 hours to write on the way back. ...
