Whilst you are in Peri, you must definitely explore the surroundings of Ica. Who would have believed that the country is home to an oasis and a desert, penguins, Pisco and everything, all in such a small place? A journey to the heart of the region can offer you incredible diversity and an unforgettable experience with nature.

Huaraz is the perfect departure point for excursions into both the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra. It's in the heights of the Sierra that you will truly discover all the fantastic features that the Ancash region has to offer.

Arriving in Iquitos by air gives a foretaste of what awaits you in the dense jungle. From above, all you see is a thick forest that covers the land as far as the eye can see, where only the river and its tributaries stand out from an immense green carpet.

After my huge disappointment with the Uros islands, which I found to be a complete rip off, I set off on my journey to Llachon, off the beaten track, to visit Lake Titicaca.
Though taxis seem cheap, I would advise you to use "collectivos" to get there: an authentic Peruvian experience, if there's any such thing, and all for next to nothing! These minibuses stop in villages along the way, taking on board locals in a riot of colour and gorgeous hats worn proudly by the women.
Llachon is a small rural village with a spectacular view of Lake Titicaca. Use this opportunity to stay with a host family and enjoy eating fresh trout fished from the lake; for me, this was a great moment of intimacy shared with the locals. A lovely path leads up to a splendid view, but I would advise you to take your time climbing up, as at that altitude, you can rapidly become short of breath. In my opinion, this stop-over<a href="https://www.evaneos.fr/perou/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.evaneos.fr/perou/"> is a must on any trip to Peru</a>.
