It's called the aftermath because I had to deal with the feeling of being lost after Cusco. On the bus heading towards Puno, I felt something was missing and I wanted to head back immediately. In order to deal with my heart, my brain had to do some recon by planning my return to Peru... Continue Reading →

Day 3 (5th Dec) Challhuay-La Playa-Hydroelectric Station-Aguas Caliente: 'It's another long day tomorrow so we're starting early', said Junior the night before.

Trying to figure out the balance between city and nature is hard but I think we made it worked. The destinations, city will be Montreal and for nature we'll be spending some time in Gatineau....

Delaware Seashore State Park is a well maintained camp ground, primarily for RVs, where most of its occupants are fishermen.
