Click here for a video recap of our week in Arequipa. Much writing, photo-editing, video-compiling and artisanal-beer-enjoying later, we made it to the Cathedral for a visit. I love organs and this one, imported from Belgium and one of the largest in South America, was certainly a show-stopper. A French-carved pulpit, supported by a serpent-tailed […]

We said goodbye to the sand dunes of Ica and headed eastward on an overnight bus to the colonial city Arequipa. We had our usual top-floor, front-row, panoramic-view bus seats, and the hot morning sun greeted us to our home the next week. Arequipa was good to us. Every day, on the rooftop terrace of […]

What better way to ring in the new year than with some llama and alpaca friends? The two to the left are dreaded alpacas, the next two normal alpacas, and the last, though the tallest, the baby of the group, a one-year old llama.

We hired another taxi for the day to take us to Pisac, an hour from Cusco, […]
