After a very average overnight bus I had a full day to explore the town of Cuenca. I was back up in altitude and feeling it a bit but managed to walk through the markets, in and out of hat museum and all around the Pumapungo ruins.

An overnight bus from Cusco to Arequipa sounded fine, until the road froze over and we had to wait in the middle of a highway (in a huuuge line of cars) until the sun rose and melted the ice. Peru had it all…
Cusco was my first stop in Peru and wow did it exceed any expectations I had of this magical city. Every corner I took I was blown away at how pretty it was.
Now that my whirlwind trip back home was over it was time to get underway with my South American adventures, straight into Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
My next big trip started off by meeting my trusty travel buddy, Mitty, in Panama ready for a new adventure making our way through to Colombia.
