PERU EXPLORER

Written July 2008

The trip was made up of a lot of varied activities. We did treking on the Inca Trail, condor viewing at Colca Canyon, visited a lot of museums and ancient sites and finished off in the rain forest. The scenery was spectacular throughout and the 3 weeks flew in. With this trip you get to see everything Peru has to offer, it's the trip to do.

Peru was really great. From the outstanding Incan ruins of Machu Pichu & Raqchi to the sights & sounds of the Amazonian Jungle to the colourful agricultural terraces of the Colca Valley to the call of the wildlife of the Ballestas Islands (& the dolphin on the way there!) to waiting expectantly for Condors at Cruz del Condor to the many town squares with their outstanding Baroque architecture to the amazing scenery throughout to the 'time out' in the interesting city of Cusco. Added to all this, its warm & friendly people. I’ve travelled quite a bit but I kind of felt at home here actually!

The scenery will be something that stays with me for a long time, particularly the view of the mountain ranges from the Inca Trail at 5am one morning, having seen nothing but low cloud the day before. We stood for almost an hour just looking at the view as the sun came up with hot chocolate expertly prepared by our porters.Also understanding more about how Peruvian people live. We were quite shocked to see them building cardboard houses with no water or services. It's quite a shock to us, but as we understood more about how these buildings were the begining of new communities for the future and saw how happy the people were, it was easier to come to terms with. We had great respect for our porters on the Inca Trail who, having served breakfast and packed away our camp, came running past in their recycled tyre sandals with nothing more than a few ropes and locally woven blankets securing tents and bags to their backs.
