Machu Picchu was everything I had hoped it to be and so much more. I'm sure everyone says that it is very touristy, but if you are in Peru you just cannot pass it up. David and I got to the entrance gates just before sunrise. For some reason people were sitting outside and not going in because there was too much fog--I don't understand those people. We hiked along a path for...

The train tickets were sold out until 7pm so we had about 5 more hours to kill in Ollantaytambo before we headed to the train station 30 minutes away. Unfortunately we woke up early and had already seem most of the small town. There was another hike up the mountain to some more ruins, and we decided that the best day to spend our time was exploring the ruins.It was pretty steep...
This is the must see attraction of South America. The view is simply breathtaking, and the vastness and grandeur of the ruins is something you have to see to understand. From a trip I took through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile early 2010, this is the one thing that I would have not missed anything for. The dawn is a must for anyone who wants to see the transition of the ruins through the day and...
On our second day in Peru we left no time for resting and relaxing, and started our trip through the Sacred Valley with the final goal of Machu Picchu. It was a Sunday and I had read that Pisac has a particularly good market on Sunday mornings, we we decided to head over to Pisac to peruse the market and hike the ruins up in the hills. We walked to the bus...
Tommy and I decided to do a two day trek through the Colca Canyon in Peru. The easiest way to get there and to explore the canyon is a guided tour through one of the numerous tour companies based in Arequipa. The canyon is supposedly twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, however it does not appear as dramatic due to the shape of the walls resembling a valley, as opposed to...
David and I arrived in Cusco around 7 in the morning, took a taxi to the main square, the Plaza de Armas, and then had no idea how we were going to find out friend Thomas. Luckily we found some wifi and received an email with information on the Hostel we would be staying at.After we stashed our backpacks we walked around a large market looking at various alpaca clothing. Thomas and...
A couple of short acclimatization treks near Huaraz.Ishinca, Laguna Shallap, Laguna Churup, Wilkawain.
Une magnifique alternative au très classique 'Inca Trail'. Qui 'monte' plus haut, offre des vues superbes sur le Salkantay et est bien moins fréquenté...
The same day we got back from Machu Picchu we took an
overnight bus down to Puno and Lake Titicaca. I only had a few days in Peru and I wasn’t going to waste a
second. We got in around 4am so we
immediately found a hostel and caught up on the sleep that we missed on the
bus, but managed to get out in the city before noon.
We first hiked a little ways up a...
Not a run but a very steep hike to the top of the highest hilltop over looking Machu Picchu. The views where worth it even though there were times that it was best that I didn't look at the sheer drop down the mountain that ran besides the path!
After a nice little almuerzo near the bus stop, we took a taxi to the entrance of the Pisac ruins area. The hike down was quite steep in places, and mostly stairs. This was our (Chris, Tommy, and myself) first stop along the Sacred Valley on our way to Machu Picchu, and what a place to start! The ruins were spectacular, and the hike was a beautiful journey amongst the towering mountains...

A very good training run for the main Inca trail and an excellent walk. Especially the ending through the canyon and excellent views over the sacred valley.All the pictures are up at Picasa
I had about a 10-hour layover in Lima on my way back to San Francisco and rather than spend it in the airport I caught a taxi to Miraflores to see all that Lima had to offer. I started in Parque Kennedy and walked to the coast, through another park to a lighthouse, and then started walking toward the main downtown area. The walk was a long one, but I had nothing...
