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…

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…

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.

1. Chinchero- Inca site. Lots of farming and pretty church. Beautiful views. Must see.

2. Moray- Inca site. They believe a meteorite caused…

This post is mostly my random musings on my first day in Cusco. If you are looking for useful info, skip to observation #4 about the Lima airport. For those who are here for some light bathroom reading, I hope…
