I want to tell you a small part of the great experience that was for me to have known this interesting country.

The idea of ​​the trip comes when I and three friends took a firm decision to embark on a tour across South America.

Inspired by the desire to know, live and feel part of the customs of our Latin America, especially in Peru, my three friends and I began our adventure on November 27, 2010.

PERU

 

The first place we stayed was Piura, the city that usually welcomes those who enter the country from Ecuador. We did not find many special places to learn, but in exchange for that found people friendly, supportive and quality that since the first moment were willing to give us a hand. This and a delicious meal with the most delicious seafood at the Restaurant  "Ganso Azul", are a pleasant memory to this city.

The road took us to Huanchaco, where my most pleasant memories is a wonderful sunset beachfront, seeing hundreds of people walking, some enjoying a nice and deep landscape and other fun with their surfboards and excellent waves.

 The stay there was short and after that evening, we decided to continue our journey...



LIMA GOVERNMENT PALACE



Lima, the city where it never rains, received  us as expected, with a magnificent morning sun and a clear sky. No clutch, a climate relatively oblivious to what we are used to, because despite being a coastal city and adding the particularity of being very dry, usually had a low temperature, this due to the latitude of the city.

The "Casa del mochilero" was not only the warmest place in Lima but also, one of the places where we have the fondest memories. More than a place in which to rest and store our belongings, the hostal became a site of friends, nice conversations, capturing great moments in our memories.

Among those who met there were Eugenio, Roberto, Pierri and George. Two Argentines, an Italian and an american, respectively, with whom we share stories, songs, laughter, food and create a pleasant bond that we hope will allow us to find them again at some point in life.

 Strolling among food markets, we met the most typical dishes of the city. Being a coastal city, Lima is known for its delicious seafood, on our trip we could realize why it is internationally renowned for its delicious seafood.

Machu Picchu an adventure...

 

It was perhaps the most anticipated destination since the beginning of the trip, and such as the time approached to get there we were increasing our desire to know it.



Cusco Square

 

It was a real journey that took us first to the magnificent city of Cusco, place considered as world heritage site for its milenary cultural heritage, it was the cradle of Incas, one the ancient civilizations most important in Latin America, at a height about 2700 meters above sea ​​level, Cusco is a bustling city, not only because of the large flow of tourists but also for its large trade flow between people of this region.

 

 

 



 

  

 

CUSCO FLAG

Cusco took us to the town of Aguas Calientes, a town at the bottom of the mountain on which Machu  Picchu is located.We came after a longer but splendid walk between giants and majestics Andes range mountains.

 Get there was an unforgettable experience that I hope to repeat at some point in my life, the feeling of tranquility that gives the place is indescribable.

After a morning full of majesty and a great sense of insignificance by the magnitude of the mountains around us, we come to the springs of Aguas Calientes, where we took a relaxing bath before going to Cusco.

After arriving in Cusco, we went to party and discovered the great movement that occurs in the city at night ... Suddenly we were in a place with people from many places over the world, sharing stories and comments about the wonderful places that this country had to offer which increased even more the expectations of a new trip to this beautiful country, because by now it was time to go home and celebrate Christmas with our families
