Last Stop in South America – Lima
After almost four month in South America it was time to get to my last destination – Lima. I‘ve heard different things about Peru‘s capital. Most people said that there was not too much to do and to see, but there were also some who loved it.

Paracas and Islas Ballestas
After more then a month it was good to be back on the beach again.
But before that, there was this 20 hour journey from Cusco to Paracas with a stopover in Ica, where I had lunch.

Cusco – gateway to Machu Picchu
After some days in at a lower altitude, I crossed the Andes again for my next destination: Cusco, at 3400m.

Before I heard that that Bolivian side of the lake should be nicer, but as it was raining most of the time and I got the worst accomodation ever (windy, cold and water coming in the room), I wanted to leave that place as soon as possible.

back on the road again
When coming back from my last trip from Asia, I wasn’t really sure if this was already the end and if I should aim for a new job, or if I should go traveling again…
Checking different options after some weeks I decided to leave home again. First I wanted to go to Asia again and explore southeast Asia, but then I decided to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Not sure if I should start with Central or South America, as I currently have friends traveling in both regions, I decided to go to Argentina first…
