Left early to the bus Terminal and jumped onto the bus to Santiago (3 buses were heading to santigo all 10min apart from each other) The 6 hour journey was very comfortable but due to limited seats I was forced to sit at the back. I had to hold my breath every time the loo door opened as the smell wasnt the greatest. Arrived in Santiago at 3 and attempted to grab another bus to the area where the Hoastel was (La Case Roja - Recommended by everyone I had met on the way down) Couldnt work out what the hell was going on so went to grab the metro instead.

well, heres a little update for you all. Our last days in Peru ( for now) were spent in the incredible depths of the canon del colca( worlds second deepest canyon short by 100 meters from being the deepest), exploring the many enchantments of what nature has instore for us if only we take the time to look. trekking up and down the forever increasingly steep canyon switchbacks, watching the condors( huge native birds) soaring above, watching to local peoples with their burros trotting, humming through their daily lives, camping at the very depth of the canyon, swimming in the river at the bottom listening to the roar of the river, feeling as small as an ant............... There are really no words to describe the enchantment of that place. At the moment we are in santiago ... read more
