Peru : Colca Canyon

En français
We left for the Colca Canyon, the tallest and largest Canyon in the world, in the middle of the night. A taxi came to pick us up at our host place and took us to the bus station. The bus was taking us high in the mountain and they served us some Mate de Coca, which is good against altitude sickness.
We arrived in the Canyon in the morning and stopped at the Cruz del Condor where we managed to see some of them fly in the sky. To see them you need to arrive early because they only fly at particular hours of the day.
We then decided to walk further to village of Cabanaconde, but the high, heat and lack of water started to be hard to bear and we finally took a bus that was passing on the road. Shaking in the bus got me sick again, that and the anti malaria medicine.
When we arrived on the place of the village, a old woman seeing that I wasn't feeling well at all came to make me a head massage that made me feel a lot better.
We took a look around on the hiking pathway and took the bus back to Arequipa. We should have been staying a bit longer in the Canyon as there was a lot more to see.

Peru : Arequipa

En français
We arrived in Arequipa and had to find our way to our host once again. We looked at the map in the train station and decided to walk there. Taxis were honking the horn at us to makes us climb in. They had been doing that since our arrival in Peru but that never worked.
We were on our way when a car stopped telling us that it was dangerous and proposed us to take us to the place we were going. So we climbed in and after wandering around the area a little we arrive at our host's house where we were greeted by his mum.
In the afternoon we visited the city of Arequipa and looked for information about how to go to the Colca Canyon the next day. Travel table of content

Peru : Nazca

En français














After coming back from our Ballestas islands tour, we prepare our stuff to go take the bus to Nazca.
We want to go there to see the famous lines which can only be seen from the sky.
We take a small bus to Pisco which is another city not very far from Paracas and after letting the people in the bus guide us (that will happen more than one during the travel) we end up on the panamerica road again and finally find a bus to Nazca with a exceptional timing.
We arrive in Nazca kind of late but not late enough to miss the next to last plane for the line.
It's a very small plane for six people including the pilot. The pilot is turning around the lines one by one in both senses and that makes me a bit sick to look down at the lines and to be shaken like that.
After our tour of the lines we go back to the city of Nazca and have a look around and some diner before taking our next bus direction Arequipa.
