Yes! The panoramas are back! But I'm not sure how many, if any, I have after this one. Today I look at the ones I snapped in Arequipa, in Peru and around. I took a trip through the mountains to the Culco Canyon as well from Arequipa, although I didn't take a lot of panoramas. …

If you’re heading to South America for any length of time, you’re going to be spending time on buses. Unless you fly everywhere I guess, but one thing is for sure – it’s not a continent widely connected by rail. Which is certainly disappointing for any rail buffs out there. Like myself. I did get …
I used to love the whole postcard sending thing. It was a cheap way to send a ‘hello’ back home and let people know you’re thinking of them. You’d gone to all the trouble of selecting a postcard, buying a stamp before writing on it and posting it across the oceans. Even when email became …
Puno seemed like an interesting little place, between Machu Picchu and the Bolivian border. It was just a one night stop over for me on my journey across South America. So, I wanted a cheap bed for the night. I arrived after dark and left early in the morning, so it didn’t need to be …

Despite the rather strange name, I was rather looking forward to staying at Gringo Bill’s in Aguas Calientes, also known as Pueblo Machu Picchu (Machu Picchu Town). I imagined to be something of a tourist institution I guess, run by a crazy old American dude called Bill with a constantly packed bar of drunk foreigners …

There are a few ways to get from Cusco to Machu Picchu. If you’ve a mind to it, many like to brave the trek over the mountains, the Inca Trail – there are several versions of it. There is apparently some back way in via road but you have to go a long way out …
Arequipa is a large town (or is it a small city?) in the high Andes in Peru. It’s home to a famous mummy which can be seen at a local museum. It’s a pretty town, hilly, interesting. From here I went on a day trip to the Culco Canyon (not advisable, take longer if you …

When heading off to South America, I have to be honest, I was a little on edge in regards to safety. It’s been a while since I worried about safety in a destination, but South America does, in all fairness, have a reputation I guess for not being the safest part of the world to …
What can I tell you? It may have been a somewhat disappointing day when I visited Peru's most famous site, but it didn't mean I didn't take a few panoramic photographs whilst I was there. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for tuning in today - take care, and May the Journey Never End!
Did I call my last Ecuador blog something similar? Anyways, a few hours ago I passed the border into Bolivia and am now in my third country of this South American adventure. I'm in Copacabana - not the one of Brazillian fame rather the one on Lake Titicaca just over the border into Bolivia from …
