We were deep in the wild and dense jungle. Me and my friends where desperate to observe a puma on our expedition, but when we felt the presence, it was quite scary......

Pumas are nocturnal. They are big cats and found throughout the rainforest in the Amazon. Me and my friends where desperate to observe a puma on our expedition, but when we felt the presence of what we thought was a puma, it was quite scary!

Life in the Andes - After tasting a glimpse of mountainous divinity…we took the backpacker train four hours back to Cuzco, the oldest continually inhabited city on the planet…talk about history!

Machu Picchu at last - Our time spent in Lima was brief but intense…The gem of our trip…the cherry on the sundae, if you will…lay in waiting. Today was the day of our archaeological pilgrimage to Machu Picchu.

Mummys & daddys in Peru - Peru is famous for many things, amoung them are its well preserved Mummys. The Nazca plains are littered with skulls, bones and tombs of long ago...

From the jungle, desert, islands and mountains, we really experienced a lot of what Peru had to offer: Nazca-lines, mummys & daddys, party life in Lima, people's culture and lifestyle, Andes, Llamas, Inca-sites, Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Sacred Valley and more.

Cuzco - Cusco, Navel of the World, was the Capital of Andean Culture. Cuzco is famous for its amazing ancient architectural wonders. They are connected with unsolved mysteries. Some interesting sites around Cuzco - Cusco are: Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo, Chincheros, Kenko, Pisac, Aguas Calientes, Sacred Places, Sacred Valley, Paucartambo, Tambomachay, Yucay, Andahuaylillas, Pikillacta, Puca Pucara, Suchuna or Rodadero, Sabacurinca, Raqchi, Tipon, Circuits, and the Inca Trail. But by spending more time exploring the city and surroundings, I noticed there where more to experience.

On our way deep in the jungle of Amazon, on the Peruvian side, we chased away some crocodiles - caimans from the river shore, and jumped out into the water for a refreshing bath. We were told that caimans never attack people as far we stayed close together. Anyway it was a risk to take.

Nearly 100 years after the American archaeologist, Hiram Bingham, set his foot here, I took my time to look around in the "last refuge of the Incas". Machu Picchu in Peru got this name because the Spanish conquers never find the village high up in the mountains. Early in the morning the clouds lifted and the big wonder of a stone city became visible. By looking deeper in to the details in the Inca ruins, there is obvious that many things here are well connected with the jungle.

El Dorado - an utopian dream or based on reality? The astonishing movie Aguirre, the Wrath of God from 1977, is based on historical circumstances. A few decades after the destruction of the Inca empire, a Spanish expedition leaves the mountains of Peru and descends to the Amazon river in search of gold, wealth and power. It doesn't take long time before they encounter big difficulties.
