A new adventure awaits in the Philippines

We are about to embark on a trip to the Philippines, an archipelago of 7000 islands in South East Asia. It is famous for sugar powdered beaches, limestone cliffs, coral reefs, exotic animals and happy, smiling people.

Vinicunca – the Rainbow Mountain

A hike to the Rainbow Mountain is a great day trip from Cuzco. It is known for its characteristic stripes of many different colors, which arise due to a variety of minerals in the soil. The mountain has a stunning location at 5200m of altitude in the Peruvian Andes.

Cuzco – the capital of the Incas

After a few days in Lima, we flew over to Cuzco. The city is situated at an altitude of 3326m and used to be the capital of the Inca empire, which once ranged from Quito in Ecuador to Santiago in Chile. It is also considered as the archaeological capital of the Americas.

3 weeks in Peru

We are about to start a 3 week trip to Peru. Our trip will start in the capital, the cosmopolitan city of Lima. Afterwards we will go to Cuzco in the Andes mountains, where we are also planning to visit Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain. We will also spend a few days in Arequipa, Peru's second biggest city. Finally the plan is to soak some sun in Máncora in the north of country.
