(Huaraz is the capital of the region Ancash) Day two: we had booked one of those activity-packed day-tours, this one taking us north of Huaraz. We would visit a town famous for its ice-cream and many legends, then off to Yungay, a city completely buried by an avalanche triggered by that fateful earthquake of 1970, […]

When was your last haircut? I’m sure this question is more directed at Julien than me, but for those interested in my luscious locks, I got a much-appreciated trim in Quito for $5 by a Chinese woman named Lee on December 2. Julien’s last cut is estimated early-May. What is it like having a hair […]

Le prix était attractif alors nous avons décidé d’éviter les routes tortueuses qui serpentent les Andes et avons pris l’option de voler au dessus d’elles pour rejoindre Loja au sud de l’Equateur. La soeur de Lucy nous a chaleureusement proposé de nous héberger quelques jours et ainsi nous avons pu profiter de la météo clémente […]

The price was right, so we decided to skip winding through the Andes and instead opted to fly over them to Loja, southern Ecuador. Lucy’s sister graciously agreed to host us a few days, and we enjoyed spectacular weather, innumerable churches and artisanal beers. For footage of us landing in the Andes, click here. Puerta […]
