Peru – Puno/Lake Titicaca, Part One
July 20-21 It would be another long day in the van with a few stops allowing us to take in some trip highlights. But first up would be another hearty breakfast in the hotel’s lovely dining room, overlooking the swimming pool and the property’s lush grounds. Soon enough, our luggage was collected, and we found […]
Peru – Chivay
July 19 After another hearty breakfast at the Andina, we soon found ourselves in our van heading out of town, towards the Altiplano high plains and the Colca Valley and Canyon. It would be the first of many days of enforced idleness, Joanna and I perched in the far back reading or perhaps watching a […]

Recognizing that we […]
Peru – Lima, Part One
July 14-16 And then finally, after more than two years of planning, starting, stopping, starting, and stopping, we found ourselves getting ready to fly to Peru for a two-week tour with Intrepid, the folks that took us to the Nile River in Egypt in 2019. We’d booked the Premium Peru In Depth tour, which would […]
