After further altitude acclimatisation in Quito which stands at over 3000 metres above sea level we flew to Lima and a short stay in the Milaflores district before picking up another G Adventures tour of Peru. We had selected this Absolute Peru tour particularly and once again we were not disappointed both with Itinarary and mix of fellow passengers. The first couple of days were spent driving down the coast in the lunar landscape which is beatiful in its own way. The more active went sand boarding near Ica and we had a winery visit and tasting of the infamous Pisco Sours which are very drinkable, Arriving at Nasca we flew over the "lines" and managed to see them all but taking photos was a different matter as we had to take a larger plane due to to windy weather, we then made our way to Arequipa via the Colca Canyon where we were able to see the condors in flight. Lake Titicaca was next and visits to Taquile Island and Uros Islands where the island is made up of floating reeds. We also had an enjoyable homestay in Luquina where we had community dancing and five a side football (not recommended at this altitude for my age)
