Colors of Peru

Peru, were you find every shade of colors. It was tough trip but with out 3 am daily mornings, late nights, cold nights, cold showers, hale, vicious mosquitos, fire-ant attack  and torrential amazon rain we wouldn’t see all the magical places and meet wonderful people. One day in Lima to meet up with Margo and Christian from Vancouver as In Vancouver they could never find time to meet 😉 We started in Cusco, with Machu Picchu, where clouds were competing with us over the view but eventually they opened up. Rainbow Maintain at 5.200 m (the same as Mt Everest Base) was next and big failure on the elevation sickness but we made it, well horses helped. Moray and Mares was finally something more relaxing. Overnight bus to Puno in the sleepover bus with blankets, pillow, food served and TV, 30$ for 8 hour drive (seriously Canada you should learn from that). Staying on the floating island of Uros was priceless, walking, sitting, sleeping on straws was a blast with hot bottles in our feet to keep the temperature bare-able at night. Long day to Nazca Lines and all the UFO stories, Paracas National Reserve were my mom was in heaven picking up seal, birds bones and Ballestas Island with over million birds and we saw Penguins too. Finally- Amazon where mosquitos welcomed us right away. Three days in Amazon with two guides and Steve, cool guy working for Amazon LoL. Wildlife blew our minds, crazy big spiders, monkeys, toucans, thousands of birds and the highlight Sloths and hairless dogs. One night we staid in the amazonian village and one camping. We got introduced to lots of medicinal plants in the jungle, we even used natural iodine for mosquito bites ( this is why I have yellow marks on my hands).. ..and mom found monkey scull :)
Food in Peru is more than delicious ! Fresh Juices are the best so far I ever had. Enjoy the journey !
