This loop is a quite popular several day hike with good hostels on the way. I went together with a Swiss nurse that is working at the coast of ecuador for 9 months, her two parents that were just visiting her and our guide Eddy. The others came from Quito, so I met them in the middle by the Panamericana. on the way to the starting point of our hike we...

This huge highland park is the main water source in Cuenca and its untouched clear water is the reason you can actually drink water from the tap in Cuenca. We visited three sections of the park: First the lower section at just over 3000m. Here we saw the abundance of water this park with lots of lakes and a forrest section with lots and lots of bromelias and moss vegetation. We hiked around one of the lakes for an hour. At...

Catherine and her husband (from Belgium) run this beautifull Ecolodge with compassion and a love for the detail. The main attraction here are birds. Basically all of the other guests here were serious birders mainly from the US with big cameras and huge lenses. A bit nerdy for my taste... Never the less Catherine...

After Cusco I flew to Trujillo in the North of Peru to make my way up towards Ecuador. To be honest, I didn't really enjoy Northern Peru that much (with a few excptions). If this was due to the travelling blues or due to everything being less clean (streets, hotels, beaches), I don't know. I will only show you the few exceptions: Trujillo: Trujillo is the third biggest town in Peru. It has a very nice and colorfull old colonial city center. In the... Blogger.de zwinkerschaedel Northern Peru Copyright © 2017 zwinkerschaedel 2017-01-17T03:15:13Z https://Jonassouthamerica.blogger.de/stories/2624424/ As written earlier this journey started right after the amazing experience at Lake Sandoval in the Amazon basin with a shitty bus ride to Puno. Actually not directly to Puno, but to Julianca a city about 30min from Puno where I had to change to a minitaxi. The local travel agency in Porto Maldonado had not booked the journey directly to Puno but to Julianca... So I arrived after a night with only very little sleep to only see the huge amounts of trash next to the street on the short way from Julianca...

Here I was collected by the local tour agency and met my guide and two other tourists joining me for part of the trip. We took a boat for about 45min and then entered the Tambopata National Reserve where we walked another 50min through the Rain forrest to Sandoval Lake, our destination. We took a canu to our lodge, the Maloka Sandoval Lake...
