After arriving in Ica we needed to take a five minute taxi to a little place called Huacachina. Huacachina is located in the middle of the desert and is well known for sand- boarding and sand buggying. When we arrived the weather was great and the place looked amazing. We were completely surrounded by desert!! After we checked in to our hotel we were all pretty tired after our long bus journey so we just relaxed and looked around the place. For the next 3 days...

Day 1 We left Cusco that morning at 9.00am and headed on our way to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The Sacred Valley is an agricultural region that continues to supply the city of Cuzco with much of its produce. We visited the impressive Pisac ruins and the colourful artisan market. We also visited the local Chicheria to see how they make the local alcohol. The day trip finished in the picturesque village of Ollantaytambo, site of another large Inca ruin. Oll...

We arrived into Cusco at midnight on Friday 4th September after a 12 hour bus journey from Copacobana,which was probably the worst journey we have had so far in South America. The driver drove so fast and with no regard for oncoming cars or the fact that we were passing overturned oil tankers and buses along the way.

We left La Paz at six in the morning and arrived at Copacabana 3 and a half hours later. The bus journey was pretty good as there was a lot to see along the way and we had to take a little ferry ride which broke it up. Check out the bus going across!! Copacabana (not like in Brazil!!) is a little town by Lake Titicaca but is not really a nice place. We took a ferry around lunch time to an island called Isla Del Sol. It took 1 and a half hours to get across to t...

After sayinng goodbye to our host family in Sucre we arrived in La Paz after a 13 hour bus journey. We arrived at the Adventure Brew hostel at six in the morning so our room was not ready yet which meant we had to wait around for a few hours, not ideal after a long journey!! We didnt do too much when we arrived first as we suffered badly from altitude and had to lay low for a few days. The food in the hostel was pretty good so we just had dinner there and took ...
