Peru
I just returned from three weeks in Peru, and it was great fun. We traveled what’s also known as the gringo-trail: starting in Lima, passing Pisco (with Paracas), Nazca (saw some lines), Arequipa (a Cañón with condors), Puno and ending in Cuzco (Machu Picchu!). Even for a lousy Spanish speaker, getting around is easy and communicating is a lot of fun. I loved the five day trek around the Salkantay Mountain to Machu Picchu.
The Salkantay trek boasts very diverse nature, high (hijg hijg) passes and beautiful views. It’s a good alternative to the classic Inca trail if you’re not much of a 4-months-in-advance booker either…
