Perú 2006

These photos are from the trip that Joan, Nico and Wolf took to Perú in July 2006. We wanted to visit Perú so that Nico could see his country of birth and to visit his birth family whom we had managed to contact a few years ago (thanks to a Google search). Also Perú is a very interesting country which we had not visited for 15 years.
We used Lima as our base and then did three excursions of about a week each to:
  • Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca
  • Puno, Cusco, Machu Picchu
  • Jungle on the Amazon River downstream from Iquitos
The show starts with images of
  • Peruvian life, customs, icons
then it roughly follows the order of our trip:
  • Lima and area
  • Huaraz and the Codillera Blanca
  • Puno, Cusco, Machu Picchu
  • Amazonian jungle and Nico's birth family
