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 […]

Uros Amanati Lake Titicaca Bolivia We were up at 6 a.m. to catch an 8 a.m. boat to Uros, and Amanati Island. We believed we had a tour guide, but when we got on the boat, there was none. So we sat and waited. The boat was loaded with local groceries, and we finally took […]

Now the first thing anyone learns when traveling in South America is never to believe the time they tell you a journey will take. Or for that matter when they will pick […]
