Craig and Steph's First Adventure Life Trip: Peru

This was our first real international trip, and it changed our lives. We explored the Southern coastal region, Lake Titicaca, and the Cusco area, and made life-long friends with guides Carlos and Vidal. Text and photos from www.craigandstephsvacations.com

Arrival in Lima

Craig and I have known about Peru for as long as we can remember. I recall doing a book report on Machu Picchu in 4th grade. The pictures just captivated my imagination. So we decided to investigate trips to Peru. Craig found Adventure Life on the web. He had some very informative and friendly e-mail communication with Mary, and we decided on the …

Lima to Pisco

We woke up around 6:30 and had a liesurely morning with hot showers with good water pressure. The weather was around 70 and sunny but with high humidity. We turned on the Discovery Travel Channel and they had a show about Machu Picchu and Nasca! Unreal! We watched for a while getting more and more excited about what was to come on our trip. At …

Pisco, Islas Ballestas

Carlos' words about parties echoed through my head as the thumping of amplified live music reverberated through our room and bed. I looked at my watch. 2:10 a.m.. Carlos wasn't kidding! Between that and the the beeping horns of the traffic, it wasn't a terrific night sleep. We got up at 6. Our "wake up call" came at 6:20, as a hotel …

Exploring Nasca, and the Night Bus to Arequipa

We woke up at 7 and met Carlos for breakfast at 8. We took some motion sickness medication as we planned to do a small plane ride first thing in the morning. It was cloudy but that soon burned off. We ate bread, jelly, and mate de coca. We talked a lot about politics this morning. At 9, a van picked us up and drove us to the airport. We started to …

Arequipa

I woke up around 2 a.m., and we were going around some very curvy cliffs, with a sheer rock wall on one side of the road and vast nothingness on the other. Craig said that at 1:57 we had gone off the road a little when another bus was coming in the opposite direction. There were remnants of rockslides in the road, and it was a little scary. I was …

Colca Canyon

We got up at 6 and had a continental breakfast delivered to our room at 7:30 (bread, jelly, papaya juice, and mate de coca). Carlos and Señor Andreas picked us up at 8:00. The strikes were over and all roads were now opened. On the poor outskirts of town Carlos explained why so many houses in Peru are left unfinished: once you finish them …

Craig's Birthday

We woke up at 5:30 and met Carlos and Señor Andreas for breakfast. It was Craig's birthday, so Carlos, Señor Andreas, and the waiter sang "Felices cumpleanos" to him and each gave him a hug. A female tourist came over to shake his hand and wish him happy birthday as well. It was great. We had scrambled eggs, ham, orange …

Puno

We woke up around 6:00 (prior to our alarm). We got our things together to prepare for our flight to Puno this afternoon. At 8:15 we went to the dining room for continental breakfast, which was included in the trip cost. We opted for the additional cost of the "American" breakfast, as we didn't know if we'd find as place to eat lunch. We …

Spending the Night with Locals on Amantani Island

We woke up at 6:45 and ate a continental breakfast in the dining room (bread, ham, cheese, juice, coca tea, and crackers). Still no word on Vidal. At 8:15 a woman from Edgar Adventures showed up to collect us. We rode on the front of a tricycle to the docks. The roads are narrow and busy, so this was an exciting ride. When we got to the dock we …
