Peru | Lima-Paracas-Ica-Nazca-Cusco-Arequipa-Puno

Andy Verhaeghe nos cuenta en este  vídeo sobre su experiencia en los destinos que debes visitar en Perú.

LIMA

00:32 A.M. No es  necesariamente nuestra parada favorita porque esta muy grande y superpoblado.

PARACAS

13:32 P.M. Reserva Nacional de Paracas, un increíble desierto de arena en la que entre el Océano Pacífico. Tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar en taxi por el mismo precio que otro autobús, gracias a Alfredo que conocimos allí. Le recomendamos que su agencia “Emotion Tour Peru” que nos aseguró una agradable visita.

15:27 P.M. Puedo hacer magia con la historia del Perú para tener un huevo de base para preparar el Pisco Sour, cóctel local. Los peruanos prefieren disparar a su alrededor para mostrar a sus amigos en lugar de realmente seguir lo que hago! Los magos no deben correr por las calles.

03:42 P.M. ISLAS BALLESTAS, por la mañana excursión a la playa y descubrí una gran  fauna en estas islas de Paracas. Cangrejos, aves de todo tipo, nutrias, y hasta los más pequeños pingüinos -cué mundo no ve aquí, no hay zoom de la GoPro! 🙁

05:07 P.M. HUACACHINA, el oasis de Huacachina es sin duda uno de los lugares que preferimos, con la excursión Buggy en las dunas se convirtió en carrusel de feria y sandboard en la arena.

Nazca

08:16 A.M. LINEAS DE NAZCA donde nos tomamos un avión para volar sobre las líneas trazadas sobre el desierto por lo antigüos Nazca. Más información aquí.

Cusco Machu Picchu

09:25 A.M. Cuzco y el Valle Sagrado. Lamentablemente no tengo algunas imágenes de estos lugares,  la batería no fue lo suficiente en la GoPro! En un momento todavía se puede ver uno de nuestros sitios web favoritos, PISAC

09:48 A.M. Hemos hecho una caminata intensa con nuestros grandes bolsas en las ruinas y en los alrededores impresionantes. El hecho de que casi dejamos que los únicos turistas en esa época contribuyó al placer del paseo. También puede ver escenas rodadas en el sitio de Moray, un antiguo centro de investigación agrícola inca.

10:39 A.M. A pocos kilómetros de distancia, el sitio preinca de las minas de sal de Maras, todavía explotado hoy en día con 3.600 estanques de sal operados por 800 familias diferentes.

11:53 A.M. Machu Picchu, la vista más atractiva, donde tomamos -como casi todas partes, hojas de coca para luchar contra el mal de altura.
Nos fuimos temprano en la mañana para disfrutar de la salida del sol sobre la antigua ciudad inca.

Arequipa y Cañón de Colca

13:23 P.M. CAÑON DEL COLCA, donde disfrutamos de una excursión de 3 días, cerca de la ciudad de Arequipa y Chivay. Varias horas de descenso a unirse a los pueblos donde habíamos alojamiento arreglados por las familias de la zona. Este cañón es el segundo cañón más profundo del mundo – 3400 m – siendo primero el cañón de Cotahuasi. El aumento en la noche del cañón en el último día, a la luz de las antorchas, fue intenso y deportivo! Un gran placer una vez que llegó a la cima!

Puno

17:05 P.M.  LAGO TITICACA, El lago más alto en la altitud del mundo – 3812m!. La época más fría, pero también la más cálida de la gira. Después de visitar las islas flotantes de los Uros, tuvimos la suerte de ser alojados en la isla de Taquile, en inmersión total con Valentina. Nuestro anfitrión nos mostró la verdadera vida en esta isla. Ella es sólo de 52 años de edad y ella nació allí, lejos de las comodidades y tecnologías que nos podemos encontrar con nosotros … un cuchillo para hacer todo, un antiguo horno, el baño en el jardín, y no hablamos de sus camas con colchones de paja y frío donde dormimos!

21:48 P.M. Después de haber sido invitado a probar los trajes tradicionales, bailamos con nuestro anfitrión en una fiesta preparada para todos.

24:12 Para los que tienen el mérito de retención hasta entonces, un poco de bonificación en el tren que nos lleva a Machu Picchu, donde sin duda habíamos consumido demasiadas hojas de coca o copas de  Pisco Sour! 😀
