Fantastic tour from Puno to Cusco Peru Three days ago we booked tickets on a tour which was to take us from Puno to Cuzco, and with us seeing some wonderful attractions on the way. We were up at 5 a.m. and at the terminal at 6:30 a.m. We had booked front seats, but when […]
Today we are heading from Puno via Copacabana to La Paz by coach. Tour Scams We have already lost money on a tour we had with Escandinavia Travel. They were unable to complete the tour (stating the borders were all closed but refused to give us a refund) They tried to take us on local tours […]
We need a day to unwind yet we are also hoping to combine some time today in discovering Puno township and surrounding area before we leave. Laundry Day Having some washing to do, I set to this early so the bathroom is a ‘no-go’ zone with three lines strung up. This is the non-glamorous side of […]

We have just managed to get a great deal on a TEPSA coach to travel from Lima to Arequipa here in Peru. TEPSA is a newish coach company. Booking Coach Tickets They have a deal that two seats on each coach to ‘selected designations’ are massively reduced. So we arrive in the hope that we […]
Today we decide to join our ‘bodyguards’ to tour around the beautiful city of Lima. We have been staying in a very eclectic hotel and recovering from the longest bus ride in our lives that started in Guayaquil. The ‘boys’ both only have 1 day here in Lima, while we have 3 days. So we […]
We have just found the most amazing 100 years plus unique and crazy hotel building that we get to stay in whilst here in Lima. It is weird and wonderful all at the same time. Tired When we arrive we are quite tired, and glad our feet are on the ground, or in this case, our […]
