Roadblocks... again...

Today in the morning we finally arrived Trujillo after a 30 hrs bustrip (usually its only 9 hrs!!!). The farmers are on strike again and are blocking all major roads...
Now we will relax a little bit in the small fishing village of Huanchaco and tomorrow we are going to visit a lot of old stones... Chan Chan, Huaca Arco Iris, Huaca del Sol, Huaca de la Luna,...

Huaraz...

We are back in the mountains!
On Thursday we arrived in Huaraz, Peru´s trekking and mountaineering paradise. Unfortunately the weather is pretty chilly and rainy this time of the year.
Yesterday we visited the ruins of Chavín de Huantar (1200-200 B.C.!) and tomorrow we continue our way north. Next stop: Trujuillo and the ruins of Chan Chan...more old stones...

The Oasis Huacachina...

In Nazca we did the flight over the lines and travelled on to Ica and then to the oasis Huacachina yesterday ! Here we found a cheap and nice hostel with pool and decided to relax a little bit... Is there anything more relaxing than jumping into a cool pool when daytime temeratures reach 35 degrees celsius?¿?

In Nasca...

After a marathon journey in the bus we finally arrived in Nasca today in the morning.
Tomorrow we are going to visit the famous lines in the sand...
We´re not going to do the overflight because it is too expensive for us but there is a mirador (observation point) that is really cheap and you can see 3 of the figures.
