After we have written so much about our own experiences, it is now time to talk about the country we have travelled to. Fortunately, it turned out that it is extremely easy and very rewarding to travel to Peru. Readers of our blog have already noted the amazing variety of landscape, fauna and culture – ranging from the capital of Lima, which at some places looks like a city in Florida or California, over the Andes to the Amazon Basin.
However, what really made us love the country were the people, who are always willing to help You: You can ask every person for the right bus to take, and if You do not find anything in the shop You are in, they will tell You which one of their rivals may have what You are looking for. Moreover, they do not even try to charge You more than they do for the locals, which is not state of the art in other countries. But keep in mind that they only speak Spanish, so a few basics are nearly mandatory!
Travelling here is convenient and cheap, at least if You have time on Your side: Not all things will work from the start, but by being patient and friendly all trouble can be overcome. And since we have spent several weeks here, even a blocked road does not yield a lost day, but means some more hours of reading or relaxing at the terminal. You can reach nearly every town by bus, and especially the comfortable night buses offer a great opportunity to save time and money for the accommodation.

So, after all, Thomas would sum it up: Peru is a bit like Argentine, but of course not quite as good.
