PERU HOPPING TO PARACAS AND ISLA BALLESTAS

I knew very little about Peru when I arrived in Lima airport. I had spent so long researching and planning my time in Argentina and Antarctica that Peru had kind of become an afterthought. I had no idea what to expect, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much.

I don’t know why, but for some reason, I just had the feeling that I wouldn’t be quite able to fall in love with Peru.

In the end, I ended up being both right and wrong about this.

While Peru may not have become one of those places that I talk about often and speak about with nothing but nostalgia, it did exceed many of my expectations, and I had a lot more fun than I had anticipated.

I am not usually one to take tours, but I only had a short time in Peru, so when I came across the Peru Hop company – which allows you to hop on and off in certain towns and cities across Peru – it seemed like an affordable and incredibly simple way to travel, so without much hesitation, I booked!

Amazingly, I think it really was my time with Peru Hop that made my last stops in South America so memorable.

After getting picked up from my hostel in Lima, we were off towards the little town of Paracas. We made several other stops along the way that I wasn’t particularly excited by, but it was during this time that I started making new friends, so by the time I actually got to Paracas, we were all pretty keen to go and get beach beers together – which is kinda perfect.

The next morning, we were off on our first ‘proper’ stop – a boat tour[……]
