Traveling & hiking the world

Copacabana is a nice little town on the shores of Titicaca lake, popular among pilgrims and one-day visitors of Isla del Sol. My most favorite activity during our week here was taking pictures of the sunset - every day from a different spot - check out which are the best spots for sunset pictures in Copacabana

For many the best thing about traveling is to taste local food, we are not an exception and during our 2 months in Peru, we have tried a lot of different specialties. I've decided to bring some of them closer to you in this brief guide.

Walking in rain is not fun. Walking in wet shoes is not fun at all. Walking in rain and wet shoes for 5 days is simply awful. And this is how our Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu looked like. Was it just about the rain or were there also some shiny moments on this trek?

Great Machu Picchu is the number one attraction in Peru, but there is so much more than that and I even dare to say, more beautiful places with much fewer people!

Inti Punku literally means Sun door in Quechua, we haven't got much sun while being up there, but we sure got a wonderful view at the valley and the clouds hiding 6000 m tall snow peaks.

When we have discovered a way towards the Chicon Mountain, which most people admire only from bellow, it was no doubt we want to climb it. And so one Saturday morning, we have set to this demanding hike.

We started our adventure in the Sacred Valley with a hike up Saywa Hill. At 3,840 meters, the summit not only offers breathtaking views of the Chicon Glacier but also fascinating Inca archaeological remains, making it a unique destination for those seeking both natural beauty and history.

The Colca Canyon in Peru boasts the status of the second deepest in the world and the source of the Amazon river. Most people decide for a one day tour to Colca Canyon with an agency from Arequipa, which is a pity. From hot springs to hiking and watching condors, there are loads of things to do in Colca.
