This is our second blog of the day so in case you haven´t read the salt flats one, go and read that first! San Pedro de Atacama was the town we arrived into after our tour. It was a nice little village but we only spent a few hours there as we had a schedule to keep so took an overnight bus to La Serena, a lovely beach town on the coast of Chile. We found a nice hostel and chilled out for a few days, visited the beach and did some shopping. We were pretty tired...

We were ultra prepared for the cold as we had been warned that it would be ´the coldest you´ll ever be´!! Luckily it wasn´t too bad, maybe about -10 at night but nice and warm during the day.

The Inca Trail is the original route from the city of Cusco (the centre of the Inca Kingdom) to the ancient city of Machu Picchu and is approx. 42 Km. Machu Picchu is on...

Hi there! Just a quick update for you before we do the Inca Trail on Wednesday. We have been in Peru now for about a week and it has mostly involved long bus journeys on bumpy, windy roads. We passed through the north and centre of Peru to reach a place called Nazca. Nazca is close to the coast of Peru and is located right in the middle of the desert. It was absolutely roasting there even though it is still technically their winter and a local taxi driver was t...
