Machu Pichu & the El Pueblo

by tropicalbirdartist

"Machu Pichu"

While I was at Machu Pichu there were a lot of people compared to other areas in Peru. I was still able to get photos without the otheres in the photo by just hanging back a little

"El Pueblo"

At the Hotel El pueblo at the edge of Aguas Caliente there were buetiful cloudforest gardens. Many great Hummingbirds, also in captivity they had a pair of Spectacled Bears which are very rare. The Spectacled Bear looks like a small Black Bear, but its diet is more like that of a Panada with a diet mostly of Bambo and bromileiads. They are in the process of returning these bears back to the wild.

here is a photo of one of the bromileiads that the Bear likes to eat. They eat the inner leaves.

Arid Climate and Green Parks

by grandmaR

Though often shrouded in fog, Lima is one of the world’s driest cities. In the face of chronic drought, how do they maintain the many green spaces in the city? With irrigation. There are men whose job it is to water all the green places and parks.

We saw a man watering this area from the bus. But the same goes for ANY green space that you see on the coast of Peru. If someone didn't water it, it would be dry as dust.

Pirate CD's

by hartti about Wilson

At Wilson you may get everything in computers, legal, or not. Here you may find all the computer programs which are somehow important, at low price. They told that that trading is now forbidden, but at least in the end of 2007 the business was still going strong. I bought the newest MS programs, and some graphics and acoustics programs. And a Spanish course, too. Prices are minimal compared to the legal ones.

Lan Peru Airlines

by tomruth78

Lan Peru for those wondering is a great airline. We flew on new airbus 3000 planes. Better than some long haul flights I have had. And for those Vegetarians, you may want to take your own sandwiches as meat free ones of this airline didn't exist when I was there.

Fresh fruit

by flynboxes about Fruit cart

Along the cliffs of Miraflores you will see ice cream vendors and the fruit merchant with his cart.
Prices are fair and this is a great place to pick up a snack for breakfast or if you get the munchies after a night of hitting the bars
