What a fantastic picture!! We did the Salt Flats with Estrella del Sur too but it was in June, so it wasnt under water. I imagine it is a completely different experience at different seasons of the year.

A snowy honeymoon has always been my ultimate wedding fantasy. I hope I will in fact be able to get married at all. Paperwork for foreigners in Germany getting married is complicated. Great photos! I thought I was the only one who fancies getting married in a snowy place. :)

Agradecido
Holas Mark y Maria, gracias por visitar mi pais, Peru, y por esa lección que nos han dado protegiendo celosamente el valor de nuestras ruinas, de gente obtusa como el tipo ese. Venga, -como dicen los españoles-, que espero que continuen sus travesias. Recien he dado con su blog pues estuve buscando informacion del Cusco y Macchu Picchu, y es que en unas semanas (23 de septiembre 2009 para ser mas preciso) ire por fin !!! a conocer esta maravilla del mundo !!!. Felicitaciones, me encantó el blog, las fotos, el relato muy didactico. Abrazos, Helard

Thanks for your comments Miguel Angel, we did certainly enjoy our visit to your city (to the country in general), despite the "minor inconveniences", and we are still happy to recommend it to other visitors. We appreciate that not everyone has to speak English for the benefit of the tourists, but if you are paying extra for the service (such as our guided walk to the Canyon) and someone gives you a guarantee, the least you can expect is for that person to deliver what they promised. We also appreciate that times are hard and people need to earn a living somehow, and tourists are a main source of income. Believe me we did try to be understanding and patient, but when you get the feeling that people only see you as a walking bank (this of course happens everywhere, not just in Peru), it's hard not to get frustrated... As for the comments on the cuy chactado dish, we apologise if they caused offence as that was not our intention. Our blogs should not really be taken all that seriously, many of the comments are tongue-in-cheek, meant to raise a smile, but never, never meant to offend. We always tried our very best to respect traditions and beliefs wherever we went. We also "make fun" of our own traditions and of ourselves sometimes in any case, as we think you can't take life too seriously all the time. Lastly, thanks for complimenting our pictures, glad you like them. They are a good reminder of a fantastic trip and of the many great experiences we took with us along the way. Un saludo

Gracias Kathya, un día nos gustaría volver a México, con más tiempo, la semana que pasamos desde luego no le hizo justicia... pero no entiendo tu comentario, ¡San Cristóbal fue precisamente uno de los sitios que sí visitamos! y nos encantó

Certains facts are true
I like a lot your blog, sadly as you said, there are things that are actually true, I'm a teacher, I teach languages but a montyh or so ago I work in an agency which is in the left side of the main square. I know there are many problems in my dear Arequipa. e.g. those waiters who annoy every tourist I see them every day because they work in the same block as me. It's very frustrating because many people knows it's wrong but they need a way to earn money, it's not their fault they just follow orders from their bosses (who many times result to be greedy and don't care about the tourist confort). It's very sad indeed. About the taxis there are obviously too many, as I said, people need to work somehow and Peru is a developing country and there are many poor people. Maybe the taxi drivers cannot do something else which is very sad as well. Abourt the level of English many people have (counters, guides, restautrant owners, etc.) is low sometimes but there are those who speak very well. Arequipa is a peaceful and tranquil city, as you said there's nothing to worry about if you go by safe places. What I don't like about your blog is that you kind of make fun of that typical dish called "cuy chactado" (roasted guinea pig). I don't like it either, but I have a deep respect about traditions, I never eat that dish besides there are many "odd" dishes all over the world and if you don't like something you should only say "no, thanks". About my dear city which is gorgeous, it's a nice place to visit although there are some people who doesn't care about the environment and visitors, most of them are immigrants from other cities, they don't feel the respect and care as we do. After all you should ask yourselves if this trip you were in was nice or not. Finally I love your photographs of everything you did here. We are trying to offer a better service plus a confortrable stay for you the tourist. Thank you very much for coming. P.s. Send me a response to my email or add another comment so I know you read this. Miguel Córdova

thanks for your kind comment
Thanks Vanessa, unfortunately we ran out of time to do the "top half" of the South American continent (we had flights to catch within the one year limit), hopefully we'll be able to go back one day.... For now it's back to the old routine - making money to pay the bills and hopefully save up enough to pack our rucksacks again.... boring! But we feel so fortunate to have been able to do this as so many other people can only dream of it. Un abrazo.
