Traveling & hiking the world

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.

The Colca Canyon is perhaps the second deepest, but for me, it’s the first most beautiful. During our visit, we went to the lower part of the canyon to hike in unspoiled nature untouched even by a Lonely Planet Guide.

On the bottom of Colca canyon lies a small hidden oasis with tropical fruits, palm trees, and refreshing pools. To get there we had to make a steep descent of 1200m, but the reward was worth it.

One-day trip from Ica turned into a 3-day visit with sleeping on the beach, watching wildlife and enjoying the peace and quiet of a desert...

When staying in Ica, desert will be all around you and I’m sure the real reason you came here, is the desert fun in Huacachina lagoon. Though if you are looking for the real desert adventure, Huacachina is not the place you will find it. Let me tell you about a fascinating tour to Ica desert, Peru.

Our time in Lima was not so touristic, we have spent one week there mostly to buy a car, and thanks to this, we got to know more Lima districts then an average tourist does.

Saturday evening, we have a car and a friend who knows how to read maps – result, we plan a hiking trip for Sunday. Just 2 hours ride from Lima are hidden small mountain villages, we never knew existed.

When we were thinking about how to get around Peru and the whole South America, we thought having a car would be the best option. So we went to the ordeal of buying a car in Peru, successfully got one, and decided to write the process for you, so you can save some stress...
