Buenos Aires is an incredible city to visit in Argentina. Nestled on the eastern fringes of the country, it’s a city that’s got a little something for every type of traveller. There is so much to see and do. That being said, it can be hard to whittle down a list of the best things … Continue Reading
Now although we flew into Puno from Cusco to see Lake Titicaca, we’d been told the train journey from Puno back to Cusco was one of the prettiest, not just in the country but in the world. *Sidebar – we actually flew into Juliaca and then took a long taxi ride to Puno. It’s a … Continue Reading
Arriving into Peru, we were the tired-est I’ve ever been on our travels! First off we started in Amsterdam, then carried on to London (transiting for a few hours in London), followed by a 12 hour flight to Lima (Peru) followed by an 8 hour overnight transit at the airport overnight, of which we planned to … Continue Reading
This is the big one! This is probably the moment I was looking forward to the most once we booked our trip to Peru and here it finally is! 🙂 THE VIDEO Click here to subscribe to our YouTube channel After arriving to Machupicchu village the day before heading up to Machu Picchu, we were … Continue Reading
One of the biggest questions we’ve gotten is about how we travelled to Antarctica so I figured I might as well show you the full journey we took from London (our home city) to Antarctica. Plus, it takes me right to the very start of this trip so it’s a good way to start this … Continue Reading
It was our final day in Cusco and yet somehow, we still hadn’t managed to get round to trying one of the (unofficial) national dishes of Peru – Cuy. Cuy is roast guinea pig, given what it is you can probably guess why we’d skipped this at every meal so far! My only experience with … Continue Reading
UNESCO World Heritage sites are an unequivocal stamp of prestige and honour on any landmark or tourist attraction. The criteria for being awarded this honour is very stringent. And, rightly so, as these UNESCO World Heritage sites are of cultural and/or physical significance and the instant this designation is placed on a site, it arguably … Continue Reading
You might have guessed by now that I fell in love with Peru during our visit! From our epic hike to Rainbow Mountain, climbing the impressive Huayna Picchu and taking the Andean Explorer from Puno to Cusco. The country is filled with some of the most ancient and best places in Peru that are dotted all around. … Continue Reading
Our travel to Peru is perhaps one of the longest I’ve ever done. It didn’t help that we started off in Amsterdam instead of London or that we had to transit for 8 hours in Lima without being able to get into the airport properly because our 3.30am flight to Cusco counted as a local … Continue Reading
Colombia is one of those countries that seems so intriguing to me. Perched at the very northern tip of South America, it’s really started to pique my interest in wanting to visit. That being said, most of my knowledge of Colombia has been centred around Medellin and Bogota… until now. That’s why we wanted to … Continue Reading
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you can just rock up to Machu Picchu and hope to ‘get in’, you can’t! The local government has imposed quotas on numbers of people allowed to enter, and they’re strict. Thankfully, if you follow these steps, you will be ensured a ticket to enjoy one of the … Continue Reading
Day 2 in Peru. We realise (thankfully, before we left the UK) that due to the fact that our Machu Picchu tickets were for 7am, there was no way we would make the 4 hour train journey on the same day and so we had to arrive a day earlier. You can also do a 4 day … Continue Reading
Coming from the UK, we’re only too aware that train journeys can be so much more than a means to get from point A to point B. And you know what, the Andean Explorer train in Peru is exactly that. Obviously, train journeys can be an amazing way to check out the natural beauty of … Continue Reading
There are so many incredible places in South America to explore! From the ancient sites of Peru, the gorgeous landscapes of Bolivia to the incredible hikes, too. Though these are all incredible, you certainly shouldn’t forget the best cities in South America to visit. Especially as they’re all so diverse and full of history. From … Continue Reading
