Andrea's Vacations

I couldn’t wait to start my vacations. A close friend and I had dreams of going to Bolivia, but we hadn’t planned anything for the journey . Tamia contacted me two weeks after leaving for vacation, I was very bored and looking for a job, she told me that if I wanted to go to Peru on a tour. This is how we began our adventure through the Andes.

We left Quito on May 31 en route to Lima- Peru. We were there two days, filled with a mixture of hot and cold and completely cloudy skies. W e steal rocks from the first ruins we visited.  We ate too much roast chicken. We had to keep with tradition and a taste of their heritage.

Then we went to Cuzco, one of my biggest dreams would be fulfilled.  I was so close to Macchu Picchu. We did a two-day tour through the city, there's Inca ruins everywhere, it's funny because every city has a representative form of animals that were worshiped. Quinoa, Llamas and Vicuñas anywhere.

Macchu Picchu is a big place, there are buildings with giant rocks, at present there’s no clear explanation for the construction of such a magical city, the profile of the perfect mountains build a human face, which is represented as the face of the Inca it is beautiful to hear the explanations and instructions for people of the place, have a particular focus and above all keep the Inca pride.

After the visit to Machu Picchu We returned to the center of Cuzco, from there we would go to Lima to catch a plane to La Paz- Bolivia. The trip was awful: length, without meal and enclosed by more than 8 hours, we almost become crazy. At 12 am we finally arrived at the airport in El Alto, the cold was almost unbearable. We had no home, so when Edu, a friend who lives in Bolivia, led us to  took a taxi. We was looking for a place to sleep.

La Paz is a very nice place to live, is quiet, the food is delicious and had funny names, We live in a hostel  “LoKi” in shared rooms almost a week, every night was crazy hour and happy hour of rum. By the second week we moved to an apartment was nice and what excited me is that I could go alone through the city, I knew the name of the buses or "trufis".

It was a beautiful experience, the friendship with Tamia  grew , after living a full month together, now we miss them.
