The life and times of Team Kealey
As previously mentioned we had an 8 hour bus ride (380 kms) from Cusco to Puno. Puno is the town on the edge of Lake Titicaca. Initially some of us who are allergic to public transport (there’s more than one reason why we drive the 45 kms each way too and from work) were a [...]
Well here it is, the post you’ve all been waiting for – our Inca Trail torture, oops I mean adventure. Three days of serious trekking with the fourth day a 2 hour trek starting at sunrise as our last day on the Inca Trail before arriving at the Sun Gate of Macchu Picchu. Apparently the direct [...]
Prior to starting the Inca Trail we had tours around Cusco, Peru. What an amazing city. Seriously the tourist mecca of Peru being the gateway to all things Inca.
Many of the buildings are built on Inca temple foundations – the carved stones fit snugly together without mortar. It is an astonishing site to see given the Incas did [...]
Just a quick post (the internet in Cusco is not great) to let everyone know we are back from the Inca Trail and Macchu Picchu. The experience in a couple of words; astonishing, difficult, spectacular, energising. Promise to fill you in on all the details of our 4 day trek once we are back in [...]
Just a quick note to let you know that we´ve finally managed to get some photos up in the gallery. Click here -> Happy viewing.
Today we had our tour of Lima Peru. It was a very historical day including tours to a monastery, cathedrals, museums and town squares. The day was divided into the Spanish and the Inca history
Lima as a city is very surprising. We were expecting a city with a developing country feel but it is very [...]
To keep with our altitude holiday traditions, on our last day in Quito Ecuador we decided to take a mountain biking tour (we did the same in Kathmandu which was great fun). Before you read any further, just a quick assurance we made it through the experience unscathed and injury free (unlike some of our [...]
That´s right boobies … but we mean the world famous “Blue Footed Booby” of course. True to everything you hear about the Galapagos Islands, the beautiful Blue Footed Boobies are everywhere. They are a stunning bird to watch – seagul with bright blue feet – either standing on a rocky outlook posing for a picture or [...]
Hola! Just a quick blog to all our avid readers to let you know we made it through our 4 day boat cruise around the Galapagos Islands relatively unscathed (there was a little sea sickness last night with 8 out of 14 in the group suffering from degrees of “a little off” to severe – [...]
We´re back in our hotel in Quito from our wonderful 4 day Amazon experience. It will be hard to put into words the feeling and experience of knowing you are in the Amazon but we will try. Quick warning … this will be a long read as the tour crammed in what they [...]
