For our first day in Trujillo we decided to visit one of the nearby pre-Inca places, Huacas del Sol y de la Luna (Temples of the Sun and of the Moon). The owner of our hostel told us that there would be a local “bus” driving to the temples. We went to the street watching […]
Heading North to Trujillo
After finally feeling better we managed to leave Lima. We took a night bus by Cruz del Sur heading North. 🚌 Only 9 (rough) hours later we arrived in Trujillo. 😅😴 Trujillo has a beautiful city center, the Plaza de Armas, with a lot of buildings from the colonial era. The city is also known […]
Leaving Lima behind…
By continuing our journey North we finished our first real VRTravellingTheWorld video to conclude Lima. Hope you enjoy it and get a good impression what we experienced in the first part. 😁 More videos coming up soon!
Finally…we made it!
Yes, we finally got out of Lima and to Trujillo this morning by bus. It was a long and hard journey, especially for Christian. After our Barranco tour on Friday Christian got really sick on Saturday morning which was supposed to be our last day in Lima. Some kind of food poisoning or intestinal flu […]
Lima’s bohemian district – Barranco
To be honest, Lima is not really one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but you will find little exceptions like: the artist’s quarter, Barranco. Barranco means “ravine” and it is one of Lima’s 43 city districts known as the neighbourhood of artists, musicians and bohemians. You can find many art gallerys, museums, […]
Lima first city experiences
After only experiencing the food and shopping life of Lima, we now are heading right into the sightseeing part. With a little bit too much avocado 🥑 and some not so tasty cheesy bread balls for breakfast, our first destination is… the pharmacy 😥 Christian got a bit of throat pain, probably from the long […]
Peruvian food and Pisco
After getting some long lost energy back from a quick round of sleep we were ready to head out into our neighbourhood, Miraflores, to get some real Peruvian food. We found a great restaurant over TripAdvisor and of course the first thing we ordered had to be a classic Pisco Sour. Both of us were […]
Welcome to Lima!
We finally arrived in Lima safe and sound as we could be after such a really long exhausting trip. Our AirBnb is in the modern, more wealthy district Miraflores, which most tourist choose to stay at. This must have been the picture when we got into our apartment… The bed is a bit too short […]
First check-in
First steps first: Checking in our flights in Munich. We already booked our first flight to Lima with a stopover in Bogota in May with no flight back. But since we also read that there are a few countries, including Peru, which are strict about immigration, or proof of leaving the country again, and we […]
Here we go!
Up and away… 🌍 After talking about, planning and organizing, it is really happening! We are off to our first destination: LIMA! ✈️ With a stopover in Bogota we are making our way starting the big trip! Let the journey begin! 😎
