Peru - How quickly three months can fly by...

Peru

*that will be 50 pictures folks, we just couldn't decide ;)*

At the beginning, we weren't even sure if we wanted to stay for three whole months, and now we have actually departed Peru on the last and 90th day of the visa.

Of course, we had a blast in the last four weeks and did one of the most intense mountain hikes and then enjoyed two well-deserved weeks in Lima.

Although? Two weeks of language school were harder than expected...

What an incredible tour, and why we had to end it earlier:

Huayhuash Trek. Nine passes, all above 4000m. The plan was for 10 days. We had all our food with us, such as pea powder, milk powder, soy imitation meat, and Snickers!

The route itself, exciting and worthwhile! Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, with freezing rain on the tent at night, snowstorm at the pass, hail, and lots of rain. This made the route very muddy and Pati did not handle the altitude very well again.

Highlights:

• - Six days of snow-covered majestic mountains, ice-blue lakes, and so much space
• - Two friendly dogs accompanied us for three full days
• - Locals let us camp under their shelter in the rain and brought us food and tea, how kind!
• - We had plenty of Snickers and two beautiful sunny days when the mountains showed themselves!
• 
  

• - We would do it again and again!!! Maybe with more sun
• - Chewing coca leaves really helps!! Feels like 2 energy drinks
• - Sliding down mud mountains on garbage bags doesn't work very well
• - We are still badass, 90% of people book tours with donkeys and the rest usually only do 6/7 days. We survived.

Afterwards, we needed a break! But since we were already there, we did two day trips to three breathtakingly beautiful lakes! With sun!

In between, we soaked up some sun and checked out Poor Man's Galapagos!

Now we have already arrived in Bogotá, Colombia and are excited for all the new impressions here, but also a little nostalgic because in Peru we now know how things work ;)

Muchos saludos!
