Peru

May - June 2001

We landed in Lima and stayed in Miraflores. After a couple of days, we took the Panamericana Highway to Pisco. After Paracas and Islas Balestras we took an 'american car' to Ica. We managed to do some 'sand-surfing' in Huacachina.. Next, we visited Nazca and took a flight to see the Nazca lines. From Nazca we took a 'Royal' bus to Arequipa. rom Arequipa we took a two day tour to the Colca Canyon, reaching 5200m at one point. We then travelled to Puno and on to Copacabana in Bolivia. We took the ferry to Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca. Back to Puno and then travelled on to Cusco. From Cusco we took the train to Aquas Calientes and visited Machu Picchu and nearby villages and markets. From Cusco we finally returned to Lima and took the flight back home.
