We had our third boarder crossing of the trip as after 25 days in Peru, we were finally going into Bolivia. While we all like Peru, we all felt like 25 days was an extremely long time, especially given we only had about 8 days in Ecuador.  We had about 4 hours to the border…

We started the day early with a 7 hour public day bus to Puno.  Upon arriving, we grabbed our bags from the bus and went over to the cars. 4 ended up in one while the other 14 of us ended up in a van. The 4 who chose to go in the car ended…

We arrived fairly early at our hotel (where unfortunately couldn’t check in yet) We headed off to breakfast, our ceo pointing out atm’s and some other shops along the way We all were very happy when the food came out as we were all starving Afterwards the ceo took us to a local market and…

We rolled into Arequipa at 8am after what we all unanimously agreed was the worst overnight bus of the trip so far due to lack of sleep.  We dropped our bags at the hotel before heading out to explore the city. One of the first things we got shown was the ATM with no withdrawal…

We all had breakfast at the hotel before getting on private bus at 11:30. 30 minutes later arrived at a pisco brewing place where we ordered lunch and then went to see the pisco farms and how they make it. The place had rows and rows of plants where they grow all of their ingredients…

The day started with breakfast at 8:30am before we got ready to leave. We were supposed to head off at 10am, however due to us forgetting that preparing food and drinks for 14 people and then splitting the check 12 ways takes a while, we ended up being a little late.  After a quick 20-minute…

We arrived at around 9:45am, and after travelling it was so nice to finally be somewhere we could just relax a little. The first thing on the agenda was brunch at a little café, which was exactly what we needed after the journey. After that, we spent some time wandering around town and getting our…

Our overnight bus was mainly smooth sailing due to the lack of a boarder crossing (which pleased many of us).  We started with a 10am brunch. The portions and type of food pleased everyone as it looked more like a dinner than breakfast and everyone was starving. It was then followed by a Peruvian shot,…

Our adventure officially started with an overnight bus at 9pm. I tried to get some sleep, but it wasn’t the most restful night knowing we had border control in the middle of it. We arrived at border control at around 2:20am, and the staff decided to take their sweet time (at one point we were…

Our bus arrived at 8:50am after being delayed 50 minutes however we still got to the hotel around 6pm. We weren’t able to do much on the bus due to it being a public bus and it only doing minimal bathroom stops.  We went to dinner around 7pm where we watched the Ecuador World Cup…
