¡Buenos dias a todos! After a couple of good days in Lima, Jurick and I boarded out flight to Cusco. Flying overhead the Andes mountains gave us stunning views of snow-covered peaks of above 6000m. We arrived in Cusco mid-afternoon and made our way towards the hostel. The city has about half a million inhabitants and lies at an altitude of about 3300m. We immediately felt the air is thinner but ... Read Full Entry

Bon Biní, Bienvenido, Welkom, Welcome, Benvenuto, Wilkommen! I'm Elton, from the island of Curaçao (Southern Caribbean) where I was born, raised and currently living. I grew up in a local neighbourhood just west of Otrobanda in Willemstad. I speak Papiamentu, Dutch, Spanish, English, regular Italian and a little German. Curaçao is a small but unique Island. It's not the typical Caribbean island with just sun and beaches. It has a rich and interesting history and culture. The capital, Willemstad, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Great Review!
Great review and photos of your visit to Cusco, Machu Picchu and other sites! I can picture nearly every place you mention from our own visit there in 2014. Although we missed seeing the Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary and as we did not visit Puno we missed some of the other places you saw. Unfortunately also missed visiting Moray and Maras as I got very sick and had to spend a day in a hospital/clinic. The cocoa tea and candy sure didn't help me at all. But visiting Peru was one of the best trips we've ever been on!

I just love Peru
Thanks for letting me read about your journey in Peru. We were there many years ago and we loved it. Your blog brings back many memories. Perhaps I pick an odd favourite among your photos, the Salineras de Maras. But I did that because I thought that was a fascinating place and I think many visitors to Peru don't bother going there at all. I am glad you did and I hope you liked it. /Ake

Thank you!!! Altitude sickness is common in the highlands and I think not everybody is able to cope well with it. Maybe you needed some more time to acclimatize...but then, maybe you had a limited amount of days to spend in total and acclimatizing would consume too much time of it. But the places you did not visit, leaves you with a reason to visit Peru one day again ;-)

Thank you!! So far it was one of my favourite trips ever, LOVED every bit of it!! The Salineras de Maras was definitely a very interesting place to visit; did never expect salt ponds at such altitudes

Peru remains at the top of our favorite country list. Machu Picchu was simply amazing. Really enjoyed following you to this wonderful place. We took meds so we didn't have any trouble with the altitude. We loved every part of Peru.
