Land trip to Cuzco from Quito

The Adventure began!! A group of three Adventure Lifers woke up at 01h00 am to start a super long journey through all the Ecuadorian territory to cross the border on a 4x4 at noon. Ecuador is a beautiful small country that allow this kind of wonders!! By the aftertoon our team was already in Mancora, a nice beach in the northern area of Peru. Marcelo, Alexa an Andres started their journey I was planning to meet them a couple of days later in Lima... I was the lucky one, I did the long trips by airplane....

This was a long journey for the drivers, fortunately I took my flight from Quito and in a couple of hours I meet them in Lima. I felt so lucky, my cousin, her husband and my husband were waiting for me at the airport ready to show me a little bit of the city. We visited the Barranco, a good area to visit at night. We drove around the beautiful neighborhoods of Miraflores and San Isidro amoung other great ones. In this point my adventour began.

No one was ready for an early morning so we started our day at 09h00. Belen, my cousin, picked us up in her car and drove us to the old town... Gosh I was glad we were not driving there! Driving in Quito is a children game compared with that!!! It was good to see this part of Lima, it is beautiful. I particulary enjoyed the view of the balconies, those are great art works. At noon we said bye to Lima and drove to Ica, the land of the Choco tejas... I loved those chocolates!!! There we tasted the Pisco with its different varieties, I will not change the Pisco Sour.

We all started early this day, my husband and my dear friends drove me to the airport where I said bye to the adventure... a great one. For them it was also the end of the trip and time to come back to our beautiful Ecuador. They drove to Ica on that day, a super long one through a highway that only 80 kms before the cost start a zigzag way down from the 5000 meters above sea level.

On this day they left Peru behind, great places, beautiful landscapes, unforgettable sunsets,colorful markets, our Peruvian brothers that mainly showed great hearts.... but happy to be back to our great costs.

They were on their territory so there was no hurries, after a well deserved rest they started a late morning way back to Quito. The dream was accomplished!!!!
