Getting to Machu Picchu is not straight forward but there are a few well known ways. The Inca Trail is the 4 day walk that is so popular and limited numbers per day that it sells out months in advance.…
Inca-rama
Cusco Day 1 For once I didn’t have to get up too early to make the airport. I had breakfast at the B&B, if anyone goes to Lima I highly recommend it. Plus I befriended the owners dog aptly called…
Miraflores life
I got in rather late last night after an amazing day in Panama. I’d found a B&B in the suburb of Miraflores called “The Lighthouse B&B” and for around $25 a night with breakfast its absolutely amazing. My bed is…

Steamy Geysers
We had an early 5am wakeup. I felt like berating the staff as breakfast wasn’t ready til 5:10am, but couldn’t be bothered. I’m sure there was a rule I wasn’t aware of allowing them to sleep in. At least we…
