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[……]

ARGENTINA – Iguaçu Falls 2 day trip: a must see natural wonder!

I was on a business trip to South America, Brazil, Sao Paulo when I visited the Iguaçu Falls. I planned a few days to see the Iguaçu Falls as I wanted to see them from both the Brazil side as the Argentina side. I also wanted to do a helicopter flight over the Iguaçu Falls and see Sao Paulo by helicopter flight too. These waterfalls are a must see; enjoy them with me!

Argentina side of the Iguaçu Falls

It was the second day that I took off early in the morning with a driver to the Argentinian side of the Iguaçu Falls. On the way, I made a visit to the village to see the 3-country point (Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay). The Iguaçu Falls are one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and therefore a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area has also lots of endangered fauna and flora. It has over 170k HM of land and spans 2700 meters and up to a height of 80 meters. I walked most paths, at least those who gave the best views as in the afternoon my helicopter flight was waiting. Just look at the photo’s; aren’t the Iguaçu Falls amazing?

Argentina – Iguacu Falls

I wanted to see the Iguacu Dam too, but I had no time to drive there. So, what do you do then? A 40-minute helicopter flight to see everything from the air too! So, great. Of course, there were no other people who wanted to do the 40-minute ride that included everything. Most rides go for 10-15 minutes to see only the Iguaçu Falls. I paid for 4 people to get the helicopter for myself. I invited the driver too; wh[……]
