After the Internet connections here in the far South America to be desired sometimes difficult, also, today at last new blog entries - in concentrated form ...
After we finally adopted by Quito had, we went first again a few days on the coast to relax from the "play". Two relaxing days in Peru's capital Lima, was followed by a trip to Nazca, a small Wuestenstadt, perhaps to one or other may already be a household name ...
has about 2000 years ago where the Nazca people sometimes up to 200m grosz drawings (mostly images of animals - see photo of the famous "Hummingbird") left in Wuestensand. The exact origin and the reason for this historic feat is even today one of the unexplained riddle of Archaeology. Since most "Wuestenzeichnungen" be seen only from above or to recognize, we ventured into a 5-seater Cessna and took off a 30-minute adventure flight ". The easy-paced adventure brought us not only to wonder, but also ensures that one or the other breakfast moved back to the surface ...
went after this trip to the Peruvian desert's but then again back to the Andes - more specifically in the ancient Inca city of Cuzco, which lies at about 3400m. The wonderful Cuzco is not only the longest continuously inhabited city in South America, but also the starting point for all journeys in the "kingdom of the Incas" - the beautiful Fairy tale Machu Picchu ...
We visited Peru in low season, we had the advantage of being able genieszen the otherwise tourist places better. So we came to enjoy, Machu Picchu visit away from the other such large tourist flow.
And for those who are now curious: Machu Picchu is absolutely amazing! Although one may know the ruins of photos already casts a vision of this plant almost out of the shoes! Almost perfectly and the misty sky fit into this mystical landscape ...
Next, we moved to another important part of Inca history. A bus is said to have lasted several fuerhte us to gigantic Groszer Lake Titicaca, which lies at about 3800m, and the story after the Geburtsstaedte the Inca culture. In "Puno" we moved quarters and took a trip to the "floating villages" where thousands of people still live on floating reed islands in the middle lake.
