Chan Chan Peru Largest adobe city Trujillo Plaza de Armas This morning is a learning time. We try to incorporate learning times in our travel, like a field trip I guess. So we take the local bus from Huanchaco Beach toward Trujillo. We stop off on the road and have no idea how far we […]
Trujillo and Huanchaco, Peru and Oceano We have spent the last night on a bus from Lima. And before that was a morning bus to Lima from Chincha. So it has been a long 24 hours. This is the exhaustion you might want to expect while planning a family travel. Maybe you will need the […]

Chincha El Carmen Maimainé Afro-Peruvian Restaurant San José Peru After our morning in Paracas, we really did not have a lot else to do, so we packed up and decided to take a taxi into Pisco.

Paracas Ballestas Islands Peru (also known also as the poor man’s Galapagos) We took a bus to Paracas. No! We actually took a taxi from Ica to Paracas. And the reason it was not a bus? Well, we were accosted by so many taxi drivers all telling us we could not get a taxi when […]

Nazca Peru – Nazca lines in a plane We Take Oltursa floats to Nazca. The seats are huge. The service is wonderful. The food is even OK. But there is no sleep. Just as I drift off, the bus stops and it is searched, and I fail to return to sleep thereafter. At 6 a.m. […]
Ollyantaytambo Peru. Maras. Moray. Salineras. As we arrived late last night, and the town was dark, it was only on a morning walk that we discovered just how much we loved this little town! Surrounded with Inca and pre-Inca ruins and a majestic hillside fortress, we knew we had sold ourselves short on time. […]
Machu Picchu Peru A trip to remember Yesterday we were up early to get the “collective”, or mini-bus to Ollyantaytambo. When we arrived, we instantly noticed the “tourist prices” at the restaurant, but we were so hungry, and with little time to spare, we ordered and pretty much scoffed our lunch down. We raced […]
