Week 31. Best Decision Ever

8 days, 8 high altitude passes, 120 (ish) km, 7 nights in a tent wrapped in liner, fleece and 2 sleeping bags - this is Huayhuash trek, considered (by local papers at least) as one of the most beautiful treks in the world. It was absolutely amazing and stunningly beautiful.

Week 30. Русские В Городе

И я снова в горах! Как я смогу из них выбраться, я не знаю.
Уараз - самое прекрасное место в Перу! Первый город, который мне понравился с первого взгляда. Окруженный горами, усаженный цветами в многочисленных парках, полный улыбающихся (и почти недоставучих) людей. Город, как и деревни вокруг, выглядит обеспеченным и организованным: то ли близость Лимы повлияло, то ли более теплый, чем в Куско, климат.

Родителям

Я ухожу в горы на 8 дней с русской девочкой.
Кстати, я тут с двумя русскими девочками. Двумя. Русскими. Девочками!

Week 29. Up The Amazon

I did not want to go to Iquitos: it is off track and I spent way to much time in Peru than I planned. But Iquitos is the Amazon, where the great South American river starts, so I bought return ticket from Lima.

Week 28. Lima

Lima surprised me. It shocked me. I am in love with this city, but at the same time I want to escape.

Week 27. Arequipa And Colca Canon

Arequipa looks much less touristy than Cusco: no 'masajes, miss', to annoying tour agents (well, almost). The city center is very pleasant with colonial type buildings. After spending a day in Arequipa in preparation, we have left for trekking in Colca canon.

I am so lazy and so out of time, I am afraid I will never write some things I really would like to write about. Sad

Week 26 Continues. Machu Picchu

Saturday, 26/07. 6 months of travel

The reason I cam to South America:
1. Uyuni (checked!)
2. Machu Picchu
It took me exactly 6 months to get to Machu Picchu. On 6-month anniversary of my trip I climbed the mountain where Incas built the town where they did not live.

Week 25-26. Trekking The Andes

For the next two weeks I was offline: I did 2 5-days treks: around Ausangate mountain and Salkantay to Machu Picchu! I did it the way round: first Ausangate, then Machu Picchu. Do not ask me if there was a logic here, I just found a group (and the trek that does not end up in MP is hard to find in Cusco), so I went for it first.
As I am reeeeeaaaaaaallllyyyyyyyy late with this blog few next posts are going to be in English to save time.

Week 23-24. Jungle Bells

Oooooh, I am soooo behind with this journal. The thing is most of those weeks I did not have internet, so I have an excuse. I will do one post to quickly describe what was happening.
