After some beautiful days in Lima and more than 5 kg heavier, I continued my way up North and was planning to move as fast as possible to the border of Ecuador.
Peru – Puerto Maldonado to Mancora
Day 79 – 83: Paracas to Lima – Food Lover’s Heaven
The number one rule in Lima’s traffic is there is no rule. Peru and especially its capital Lima is the Wild West of South America. Latest when entering the suburbs before even reaching the city center you understand why…
Day 78: Chalhuanca to Paracas – Amazing Landscapes
Conclusion of the day: Never stay in a party hostel after a long day on the bike, lol. Read hear why…
Day 77: Ollantaytambo to Chalhuanca – A Wrong Turn and Broken Pannier
It could have been a nice day… until my GPS decided to send me into a dead end in Abancay…
Day 76: Magical Machu Picchu – History as Superlative
It is early. Too early! Not even 6 hours sleep after an exhausting day on the motorcycle (“how to organize a tour to Machu Picchu”). It is 4:45 am and I am getting ready to see the sunrise over Machu Picchu. This was at least the plan…
Day 75: Cusco to Aguas Calientes – How to Organize a Tour to Machu Picchu
What a day!!!!! It took me longer than expected to get to Aguas Calientes… Half way through it started to get foggy and pretty cold with around 5 degrees Celsius. And of course if that would have not been enough it also started to rain… A great combination.
