Canyoning, Coups and Costa del Peru! From the lovely if not a little dreary Lima we headed up the coast for a few hours before cutting inland to Huraz, back up to altitude. We lost 4 members in Lima and gained just one, Christy from Birmingham. Huaraz is a medium sized town and we stayed in a hostel called Joes place, with a nice white dog called Whitey. There was a whole load of hikes and climbing experiences available here but as funds were running low fo...

Sand Boarding, Booting and the Ballestos Ok its been a month so the goings on of the past 4 weeks wiill be arriving on here in installments, this is the first chapter of the last month. After Cusco we took the road back towards Puno before heading down to Arequipa. We arrived late in the afternoon and Saxon, Dane, Rowan and I managed to get into town in time to book ourselves onto a 2 day hike into the Colca canyon, the 'deepest in the world'. On the way ...

A scary road, Lake Tit and some Inca RuinsLast time you hear from me I was doing my best to acclimatise to the altitude after our epic 7 hour drive from se level up to La Paz.

They offer a full day mountain bik...

Protests, diversions and delays! The last time I 'Blogged' I had just arrived in Salta. Salta is a nice little town with some nice architecture, especially compared to where we had been the past few weeks! I spent the first day here catching up with Lauren who I met in Buenos Aires, and then went for another ridiculous steak dinner in the evening, 1kg of unbeliveble steak! I find it hard to get bored of steak so good for the price it is so i do appologise if I ...

Parrots, Pirahnas and Caimen As per usual the amount I am going to try and fit into this blog is huge but I will do my best not to waffle and keep it entertaining! I left off in in Parati (or Paratay) where we had enjoyed some great weather and some beautiful scenery! We set off from here on a 3 day drive to the Pantanal Wetlands via two bush camps by the road! The bush camps were interesting, where we basically camped by the main highway at service station...
