By Morgan Addams I awoke this morning with a desire to go to the beach. From the Pariwana Hostel, I started to walk west toward the water and away from the sun. Along the way there are many stores one could shop at, literally something for everyone and every need. There are also many restaurants, [...]
By Morgan Addams My first week in Lima was a disaster. Lost the woman I loved, and she took all my money with her. One day I shall tell that story, but not today. Instead I will tell you a little bit about the Hostel I now call my home in Lima. Starting from the [...]
The hike was moderate to advance but you can go at your own pace. We had 6 people in our group, 3 of who are experienced hikers and went at a brisk pace while the other 2 kept a more casual pace and took time to snap lots of photos. The views were absolutely beautiful, [...]
Not far from Huaraz, there is an ancient set of stones dominating the bend in a river. Chavin de Huantar sits in a deep valley, surrounded by soaring cliffs and hills.
The road to get there curves over the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, passing through the Parque Nacional de Huascaran, beside glacial lakes and wavy prairie grasses.
About 60 kilometers south of Chachapoyas is the district of Leimebamba. Here, you’ll find a museum that is very much worth the 10 sol entry fee. First off, arriving to the interesting museum is great in and of itself.
If you haven’t heard of the 4th largest Peruvian city, then perhaps you have heard its nickname, “The Capital of Friendship.” Why the bizarre nickname? Chiclayo, simply enough, is known as the friendliest city in the nation. It’s a modern metropolis, but its attractiveness to the backpacker is probably the nearby ruins and museums.
For those backpackers who have had enough of the hordes of tourists who swarm around Cusco, Ayacucho is a great place to head next.
Ayacucho offers a high concentration of historic and cultural attractions, nearly on a par with Cusco itself, but because it is off the main coastal Cusco-Lima highway, many international tourists opt not to visit it.
The South American country of Peru is home to numerous beneficial plants, including Peruvian maca root, a legendary sex-enhancing root passed down from the Inca. Peruvian maca root has been dubbed “Peruvian ginseng” because it increases strength, energy, stamina, libido and sexual function. Superfood enthusiasts know all about the incredible nutritional powers of maca. This [...]
With a lot of good luck and a $230 rt ticket Heidi and I left LA for our first south american adventure. Two surprisingly comfortable Taca flights, two Spanish dubbed children’s movies to aid our broken Spanish, and two meals only consisting of carbs later, we arrived in Lima. Following strict instructions from our lonely [...]
You gonna visit the beautiful Inka-town Cusco and you`re looking for a special place to stay at? I can highly recommend the Pariwana Hostel which you can find in Lima as well, because you`ll be welcome and treated as a friend. The people are from all over the world and it won`t matter who you [...]
