A look back at the past: April 2010 – Peru’. It was and it will always be one of the best trip of my life: an amazing country, full of vibrant colours, history, amazing people and breathtaking sceneries.

Known across the world for the mystical UNESCO World Heritage site of Mach Pichu, Peru’ has so much to offer to a curios and interested traveller. From the desert and oasis of Lima, at sea level, to the plateau of Puno, at 4338m (over 14.232f), from the floating Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca, to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Delicious food, colourful art and craft, friendly smiles and so much beauty.

Day 1: Lima

2 it’s  better then 1: my best friend and travel companion, Chrystel

I love the contrast of the desert, the oasis, the mountains and the city art

Even the “policia” is cool!

Lake Titicaca: the floating of the Huros

The history of this people and their style of life it’s unbelievable

People: always my favourite subject

Taquile Island – 13.000 feet above sea level

Ollantaytambo – Urumba Valley

I LOVE South American markets! So full of life, beautiful faces and objects.

The little boy could just not hold it anymore… oh well, it was raining and it washed it off 😉

Cuzco – stunning by day, enchanted by night

And finally: Machu Picchu
