Day 83 Another yucky 16 hour bus ride, we made it to a city in Peru called Ica. There isn't much to do in the city itself, and the main tourist attraction here is a small Oasis town amongst some sand dunes called Huacachina, pronounced woca-chee-na. We caught a 20 minute cab straight out to … Continue reading Huacachina, Peru →

Day 75 Another night bus down, we arrived around 6am in Cusco. Only 1 more night bus to go thank goodness! They don't get any easier. We found our way out of the terminal and to the street, negotiated a price with the taxi driver and were on our way to the hostel. It is … Continue reading Cusco & Machu Picchu, Peru →

Day 69 We were woken up in our hostel by our host yelling, “MARIAAAAA”. I think Maria is her daughter who gets the breakfast ready. She wasn’t yelling in an angry way, I think she is just so loud & happy everything she says can be heard from a distance. We quickly smashed down some … Continue reading Arequipa, Peru →

Day 67 Today we head to Copacabana, which is a small town which sits on Lake Titicaca, and is a stones throw away from the Peru-Bolivia border. We woke early and jumped on the bus which picked us up from our hotel. The bus trip was fairly uneventful with the exception of a small crossing … Continue reading Copacabana, Bolivia →

Day 55 We woke early and had a really nice breakfast at our hostel. It was loads of fruit, fresh juice and coffee! Probably one of the best breakfasts we have had so far in South America! They generally aren't much of a breakfast bunch, hence sometimes we have cake for breaky! #health We then quickly … Continue reading Potosí, Bolivia →

Day 52 Today is our first day of our tour from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, into Bolivia to a town called Uyuni.

Day 42 Another travel day, this time off to Salta, in Northern Argentina. We scored dirt cheap flights by going back to Buenos Aires and then onto Salta, instead of flying direct from Iguazu. We had another day of reading, Duolingo and my new favourite hobby, people watching at airports. There were a group of … Continue reading Salta & surrounding area, Argentina →

Day 39 Travel day! We caught a flight from Buenos Aires to Peurto Iguazú. It was very stormy flying into Iguazú and it felt like the plane was going to fall from the sky!
