Peruvian Pilgrimage

Speaking of not quitting, the only way either of us is going to be able to last much longer at our day jobs is if we take a vacation. So that's just what we're going to do - journey to a faraway place without cell phone reception or Internet access. We are going to Peru!

We depart on July 28 - only ten days from today - and don't return until August 14, for two and a half glorious weeks of trekking.
  • July 28: San Francisco --> Lima
  • July 29: Lima --> Arequipa - A few days in the white city and a visit to the Colca Canyon...
  • July 31: Arequipa --> Cusco - A few days adjusting to the altitude and exploring this ancient city...
  • August 3: Cusco --> Machu Picchu - We will trek via the Inka Jungle Trail...
  • August 6: Machu Picchu --> Cusco - We will recover for one more night in the city...
  • August 7: Cusco --> Lima --> Huaraz - We will rest before starting another trek...
  • August 8: Huaraz --> Cordillera Blanca - We will trek and camp on our own along the Santa Cruz Trek throughout the Andes Mountains
  • August 11: Cordilleara Blanca --> Huaraz - We will recover for a few days at the Lazy Dog Inn
  • August 13: Huaraz --> Lima - We'll wrap up the tour with a night in Lima, cashing in our Hilton points at the DoubleTree el Pardo
  • August 14: Lima --> San Francisco - An overnight flight and we'll have a day to recover before we head back to the office!
Stay tuned for the adventures - and we are not going to kid ourselves, the misadventures - of our journey to Peru!
