A Child’s Tale
~ In
Peru ~ by Kyle Hammons - Shorty usually staked a claim on the street
in front of an Italian restaurant and market. As we neared, he would emerge
from the shadows shuffling towards us with chocolate in hand calling out,
"amigos, amigos!" We were easy money for Shorty. We always emptied
our pockets for him and rarely asked for chocolate in return. Our change
barely seemed sufficient compared to the joy that Shorty brought us with
each encounter. Jan/05
A Mystical
Marriage In Machupicchu ~ Getting
Hitched On Top Of The World ~ by Leah George Sanchez - Great article
about getting married in the ancient city of Machupicchu. Leah gives you
a clear idea of what motivated her to head south and eventually marry and
then travel through South America for two years. The photos look like something
from a medieval time that never was. Sept./03
Adventures In Peru ~ Peru's
Manu Biosphere Reserve ~ by Kyle Hammons - Situated in the remote southwestern
region of the Amazon Basin and said to have the highest biological diversity
of any rainforest in the world is Peru’s Manu Biosphere Reserve. Manu covers
a total of 4.5 million acres of pristine rainforest from the crystalline
cloud-forest streams to the sluggish, chocolate-brown rivers of the dense
lowland jungle. Manu’s environment has been unchanged for thousands of
years, thus allowing more species of plants and animals to evolve here
than in any other similar area of the world. Jun/05
Discovering The Inca Trail
~ Hiking
The Andes ~ by Kyle Hammons - The sun was just starting to rise over
the green carpet of rolling hills when my plane touched down. The flight
from Lima had been nearly empty allowing me to scramble down the aisles
in search of better views of the Cusco Andes. It was not until I reached
baggage claim that the sensation of being a tourist truly overwhelmed me.
Surveying the scene around me, there were enough guide services packed
into the tiny airport to accommodate far more than the 500 people allowed
each day on the Inca Trail. Thankfully, the traditional Peruvian band filled
the room with enough noise to drown out the crowds of tour agents and cab
drivers who shouted their deals through revolving doors and windows. Aug./05
Finding
Our Place In Peru ~ Peru
And Bolivia 2004 ~ by Mark McInerney - My wife, Karen, and I decided
that it had been a couple of years since we traveled in South America and
a vacation down there was just the thing we needed. Clearly, it’s
no secret to our friends that we love South America. We find the
pace of the people in their every day lives to be enjoyable. The
focus on friends and family is to be admired. Sure, not every thing works
the way it does in the USA, but all you need is a little more patience.

Following
the Inca Trails - Following
the Inca Trails - As the magnificent peak of Padrayoc loomed to our
right, and the Apurimac River roared below we felt the rush of adventure
in our veins. It was this that kept us going for our bodies certainly weren’t
equipped for the tough trail ahead of us! The idea for this trek had come
four years earlier, when a Peruvian friend and I were out in a remote village
and had met an old gnarled farmer on our trail. He had struck up a conversation
with my friend in Quechua, the language of the Incas. By Ariana Svenson

Karma And
The Coast ~ In
Peru ~ by El Vagabundo - It had been a long, strange trip indeed. In
search of gainful employment I had circumnavigated the globe in six months.
My itinerary read like this: Bogotá to Caracas to L.A. to Hong Kong.
Two months of work, then off to Baghdad, Basra, and Nasiriyah, Iraq. Four
months later: Kuwait, London, New York, Lima, Bogotá and home. Along
the way I was offered more work in Afghanistan, Uruguay, Valladolid.

Peru ~ Notes
From A Canadian Traveler ~ by Judy Goddard - I
remember sitting up in the attic of our farmhouse as a child, looking through
those bright yellow “ National Geographic” magazines, that someone had
given us. For hours, I dreamt of those far away and strange places. Never,
believing it could ever come true. So now that our children are on their
own, I decided to pursue the dreams of childhood, of far away countries.
Not just as a tourist, but as a person who could perhaps help improve someone’s
else life, or just bring some joy for a few weeks to someone who needed
it. April/05
