Day trip to Ballestas Islands and Huacachina (Oasis) Peru  

This post details my experience with  PeruHop's 1 day tour from Lima to the Ballestas and Huacachina. I couldn't find the exact tour I took online, but this one is pretty close (and more expensive). I purchased my tour…

Know before you go: Valparaiso, Chile 2019 

Valparasio is on the coast of Chile about 1.5 hours from Santiago. It is a small city with a big history of being the most important port in Chile, until it wasn't. Now the town survives mostly on tourism due…

Lima, Peru (day 9)

If you have been following along, days 7-8 were travel days not worth blogging about. Unless you want to hear my thoughts on shitty airports in the middle of nowhere lol.

Visiting Ollantaytambo and Pisac (day 4)

It's hard to imagine how anything will live up to Machu Picchu once you've been there. But somehow Ollantaytambo and Pisac managed to amaze me in the exact same way.

Ollantaytambo is the town that the Inca Rail will…

Visiting Machu Picchu for Lazy People (day 3)

Machu Picchu is like the holy grail of visiting Peru. Some people plan super elaborate trips to see it, others hike the whole Inca Trail to get the full experience. I'm not either of those people. I wanted to see…

Antelope Canyon Thoughts and Suggestions

I've said this in a different post, but I feel like Antelope Canyon has blown up in popularity recently. Sure, the place is THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHABLE place ever but I had never even heard of it until super recently. And…

Grand Canyon Thoughts and Suggestions

I could go on and on about the wonder that is the Grand Canyon, but I would never do it justice and would probably bore the shit out of you in the process. So instead, let's talk about what I…
