When the brother of Francisco Pizarro, Hernando Pizarro, arrived to Pachacamac he stayed
at the palace of the Inca Governor Tauri Chumpi – by then one of the most impressive
buildings in the city. Rich in history, Tauri Chumpi’s palace ruins are located today

Lima’s historical centre is UNESCO World Heritage – and indeed assembles in a unique
area a magnificent set of monuments. The majestic cathedral and the Archbishop’s Palace
are the city’s ex-libris – together with the extravagant suspended wood balconies in

Hospital del Salvador is where you should go at once if having little time when in transit
in Santiago. You will need though a medical order showing you have no contra-indications
to take the vaccine (if you are allergic to eggs?!!). There are a few private clinics
adjacent to the...

If you need to take the yellow fever vaccination when in Santiago de Chile, there are only
a few places where this can be done. You don’t need it for Chile, but for some neighbor
countries, especially if going into the Amazonian jungle. In fact you need to take the
vaccination at...

Located in the heart of downtown Lisbon, Teatro Politeama dates back to the early XX
century. It was initially operated as a cinema, but nowadays is a full time theatre, with
small scale productions of cabaret like shows, musicals and dramas. I went there seeing a

Many centuries later after its construction, the Incas allowed the continuation of the
cult and oracle of Pachacamac, but built their own majestic Temple of the Sun. The Sun God
of the Incas was called Inti, mostly a beneficial, friendly God. The tradition and faith

Located at about 40 Km southeast of Lima, or about 1 hour driving from the airport,
Pachacamac is a magnificent huge archeological park. Its name comes from the God of
Earthquakes, Pacha Kamaq, and its construction pre-dates by many centuries the Inca
Empire. In fact it pre-dates also...

Surely one of the most scenic gardens in Madrid, Jardines del Campo del Moro look directly
into the Royal Palace – the official Residence of the Kings of Spain. The name of these
national patrimony gardens is due to the fights with the Moors, in the Crusades to
reconquer the Iberian...

Along the “never-ending” margins of the Amazon River, boats are the main (and many
times only) mean of transportation. The small populations that live quite far apart from
each other depend highly on the arrival of fast and slow boats. This is true both for
their travels and their...

El Huequito Harbour in Iquitos is like some sort of mirror of the daily human life near
the jungle. Since it is an arrival and departure point for international passengers, there
is a Police Station, occupying a reduced small structure up in the stairs. From it comes

When talking about rainforest fish, piranhas come to our mind at once. You can fish and
eat them all over the Iquitos area – though they have too many fish bones. What really
impressed me was the Arapaima, one of the largest fresh water fish in the world. Taller
than a man, they can...

Iquitos has much to offer in what comes to try new exotic food and drinks. At Los Bidones
I drank chicha and cocona juice. There are many fermented chichas based on corn, but I had
a non-fermented one, called chicha morada, obtained from purple-black corn (maize). It
tastes to sweat...

Los Bidones is a nice restaurant and bar located very near to the central Iquitos’ Plaza
de Armas. It has nice personnel and very reasonable prices. If you want to try exotic food
I recommend chonta in salads. This is a white vegetable taken from the heart of palm
trees. It used to be...

While waiting in Santa Rosa for the return voyage of the fast boat to Iquitos – I had a
couple of hours to contemplate the Amazon River at night, in total darkness. In many
organized tours one can go searching for jungle night life and hunt small alligators and
such. If you are alone...

A voyage across the Momon and Nanay Rivers, in the proximity of Iquitos is a definite must
do!! The vegetation is luxuriant and beautiful - and the Momon River is comparatively
narrow. This is where the movie Anaconda was filmed, and indeed where you can find an
interesting...

The Yahua is a relatively numerous tribe inhabiting along the Peru-Colombian border and
Amazon River basin. Surely they want to sell their products, and I bought a blowgun, a bow
and arrows and these nice “straw-like” skirts done of aguaje palm tree fiber, that men
use traditionally....

There are a few native villages on the outskirts of Iquitos – up to the Boras Indians in
San Andres. I visited the Yahua (or Yagua) Indians and surely it was nice to see their
typical huts and learn how to shoot poison darts with a blowgun. I was very welcome –
and painted in the face...

Iquitos must be the western-world capital of motocars!! Everyone seems to have one! They
are and go everywhere, with colorful rain covered back seats – and tourists seem to
enjoy trying a speedy windy, “dusty” drive. From the airport takes about 15 minutes to
get to downtown – and the...

Casa Hospedaje La Pascana has a really nice personnel team – everyone is quite nice
there! It is located just next to Germany’s Consulate in Iquitos and just a few blocks
from Plaza de Armas. Breakfast, Internet, luggage custody, nice tropical patio – all at

By the end of the rain season expect the main “streets” of Santa Rosa to be flooded!!
You will have to walk across the island on top of very narrow water-wood planks, or go
from area to area by motorized canoe. My departure from Peru at 4 am was an adventure -
because I had no...
