Our time in Peru is coming to an end. The last leg spent in the southern section included many amazing locations in a very short amount of time. Just traveling around getting to the desintations we´ve been to gave us the chance to see an amazingly diverse landscape. Cusco, Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Puno (Lake Titicaca), Arequipa, Colca Canyon are some of the amazing destinations we have been to in the past 12 days since leaving the surrounding area of Huaraz in the Peruvian Andes. It´s been truly amazing to see the diversity of the landscape in Peru. From the Amazon, to the Andes mountains, through the southern coast, deserts with incredible sand dunes, and ending in the temperate highlands surrounding Cusco and Arequipa.

| Making friends in Chivay, note the similar expressions. This llama was only three days old and so tired, Julia was the same from the many overnight bus rides. |
In the past 12 days we´ve spent around 67 hours on buses (mostly overnight) in Southern Peru. While some buses weren´t exactly ideal in terms of comfort, these times offered a more rich experience and perspective into the rural Peruvian way of life. Sometimes a little bit of a sacrifice (comfort) works in our favor when looking back. On another note, I can´t exactly provide an accurate count of how many Frac bars where consumed in Peru. Maybe its a good thing you cant find them in Colombia...
