                    <description>So we set off aiming for Pichilemu a coastal town a few hours south of Santiago which is famed for holding the world surfing championships. The first trip to Villaricea and then to the next town was relatively esy. We then got off at the bus company39s coach depot and found out that we neede to be on the other side of town for the buses going in the direction we wanted. After some garbled dir</description>

                    <description>The next day was spent lazily walking round the quiet streets due to it being low season for tourists we went to the two lakes which were within walking distance of the two main central streets which transversed the town. We made our booking for the inevitable trip up the volcano and had a fitting for all the gear that we were gonna be using. With a 615 start and a walk to the departure point </description>

                    <description>Amazingly the handover of the car the next morning passed with no extra charges being added or damages. Sam had driven very carefully but it was along roads that were really only fit for a 4x4. Having made friends with an English guy called Alex who was in our dorm we set out together towards the Circuito Chico a road circuit around no less than 8 lakes and all to the backdrop of the Argentinian A</description>

                    <title>Bariloche Argentina </title>
                    <description>We had decided to pay a little extra for a cama bus for the 17hour journey from Mendoza to Bariloche. We arrived at the coach station as the sun was setting and we were seated by 8pm in our huge leather seats right at the front of the bus. The seats were so big that there were only 3 seats wide. We were served steak and red wine as the sun set and we started making our way south following the line</description>

                    <description>After a bit of a wait for the bus we jumped on our overnight bus to Mendoza. Quite a uneventful journey thankfully. We had a sdecent enough sleep due to the big comfy chairs and were woken in the morning when we stopped for breakfast of coffee and croissants in a small towns caf.We arrived in Mendoza about midday settled into our hostel then had a wonder around the streets.

                    <description>Buenos AiresWe landed after a 4 hour flight which I slept through most of  no surprise there in BA and after a lengthy wait at customs for the XRay machines to start working we left the airport and found the transfer bus to the centre. The sun was starting to set as we travelled down the motorway passing very lush forests and grassland. About an hour later we were off the bus and negotiating</description>

After a short wait we jumped onto a bus to the capital for 10sol around 2.50. We arrived to blazing hot sunshine pouring onto a hectic city backdrop.

                    <description>Rafting CuscoThe weekend before my birthday Sam and I wanted to do some activities. The first was to hire some motorcycles to go up into the countryside that was a short but very steep 20 minutes away from the centre. The second was to go rafting again. From about the start of February the rainy season really started to kick in this put us off getting bikes but we still decided to book the raftin</description>

After a bit of wondering reading and arguing we decided to get a taxi out to Cerro Azul Blue Beach at the costly sum of 3quid. After not having any joy from either of our guide books suggesting places to go on the coast up too Lima i had a dig on th</description>

After started the school we both realized this was something worth giving more time to so decided to stick about. Much to the annoyance of our travel agent who had to yet again change our flights In the end we ended up there just over two months and it was an unforgettable exper</description>

                    <description>Pisco and Ballestas IslandsHuacachina to PiscoThe 5 hour stretch of PanAmerican highway between Ica and Lima is served by a very frequent fast and well used bus service run by SoyuzPeru bus. The fares are cheap and it makes travel so easy. This is a less used tourist route as most people skip out this stretch. After a short taxi ride from Huacachina we were at the bus station in Ica and within </description>

                    <description>Huacachina day 1At 1 pm we started to enter Ica where we got off the bus thankfully as we didnt think we could take much more. The bus continued from there for another 7 hours to Lima. From the bus stop we hailed a taxi and were given a good price for the short journey to our next destination Huacachina. Huacachina is a desert oasis which is set around a green lagoon and surrounded by huge sa</description>

                    <description>Leaving CuscoOur last day in Cusco was marked by a gathering of some of the volunteers as we all went for lunch at not the most obvious choice a club by night but set in this amazing building with huge high ceilings and seating on the dance floor We all ate well for a 10 sole 2pound 50 set menu then as those who were at school that week set off it began to pour. It did not stop. We tied up th</description>

                    <description> Carnival time  Puno  The journey When we left Puno the first time just before Christmas to come to Cusco we both agreed that this was one place we had been to on our trip that we did not want to go back to. However the draws of the infamous Puno carnival and a group trip with all the other Yanapaay volunteers meant that early one thursday morning we found ourselves getting a taxi to the bus sta</description>

Eating cuy came into conversation with our spanish teacher at one of our lessons she had advised that the best place for it was Tipon a small village about 40 minutes outside of Cusco in the valley which was also home to some incan ruins.
