Peru & Bolivia — Adventure Through the Andes
This trip was one of the best of my life — and Peru was the star of it. Ancient civilizations, impossible landscapes, an oasis in the middle of a desert, floating islands, and mountains that make you question everything your lungs are capable of. Bolivia was part of the route, and it has its own unique things to offer, but if I’m honest, Peru was where my heart stayed.
I travelled in June, which turned out to be a great time — warm enough to be comfortable, and perfect weather for walking and hiking.
I used Peru Hop to get between destinations in Peru, and Bolivia Hop to cross the border and continue through Bolivia. Both are hop-on hop-off bus services designed for travellers, and they made the logistics incredibly easy.
Here’s where I went — click on each destination for the full guide:
- Lima
- Paracas
- Huacachina
- Cusco & Valle Sagrado
- Machu Picchu & Aguas Calientes
- Arequipa & Cañón del Colca
- Puno & Lago Titicaca
- Copacabana & Isla del Sol
- La Paz, Bolivia
How Long Did I Stay?
Just over two weeks. It was the perfect amount of time — the only thing missing was Uyuni. That one’s still waiting for me.
