We were both over the top with anticipation for this trip. We had been dreaming about it forever and seriously planning for it since January when we enrolled in a Spanish class at the library. Just outside Miami Bob spied something that he thought was "art" alongside the highway. After two u-turns, we slowed to examine it. At 60 MPH it appeared to be a statue, the remnants ... read more

Quilmaná, Lima, Peru Wednesday, June 6, 2012 PERU FOR THE SECOND TIME Margaret and I have been married for 33 years and I seldom take a trip without her. She, on the other hand, has often traveled without me---trips to see the granddaughter, trips with her girlfriend Connie, trips to see her family. So, when my Peruvian friend, Miguel, told me he was going to see his family in Canete, Peru, I got excited. Margaret said "Go!" and that was all the encouragement I needed. We had taken a 2009 trip to Peru and had seen Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Lake Titicaca and Lima; when we arrived home, I longed to return. This trip would involve a much more primitive venture to an arid region 85 miles south of Lima, five miles from the ... read more

CANETE We arrived in Canete off a busy Pan America bus, after stumbling off the bus with our packs we headed out onto the street to get our baring. 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 the internet and came across Cerro Azul. A popular holiday spot for rich Peruvians on a lovely stretch of beach, so we thought we should check it out and see what all the hype was about. CERRO AZUL Cerro Azul was a long stretch of beautiful beach, with a small settlement at one end with ... read more

Cerro Azul on pikkuruinen kalastajakylä noin 150km Limasta etelään. Paikka on myös tunnettu hyvästä surffistaan, joten päädyttiin sinne katsomaan meininkiä. Cerro Azul sijaitsee Cañete nimisen kaupungin lähettyvillä, jonne saavuttiin bussilla ja otettiin saman tien kollektiivo Cerro Azuliin. Cerro ei ollutkaan ihan Cañeten vieressä, joten ihmeteltiin kuinka pitkälle lopulta päästiinkään yhdellä solella (0,25 euroa). Kollektiivossa juteltiin paikallisen naisen kanssa, joka kertoi meille hyvästä asumapaikasta. Paikka ei ollut keskustan liepeillä ja kellon ollessa jo kahdeksan pintaan illalla, ei lähdetty kävelemään sinne. Käveltiin pitkin rantakaistaletta etsien sopivaa nukkumapaikkaa, mutta niitä ei liikoja näkynyt. Lopulta löydettiin yksi paikka rantsusta, mutta ei ollut kovinkaan hienon näköinen. Kun nähtiin torakan juoksevan lattialla päätettiin jättää väliin. Asunnon hinta olisi ol... read more
