Arequipa airport. In the background is Chan Chani, an active volcano. It erupted in the eighties, melted the snow and revealed the body of Juanita, a young girl sacrificed by the Incas. You can now see Juanita at a museum in Arequipa. Or at this website. |

Arequipa is a lovely town. Most of the centre of the town in built with a white stone and the central square is striking. The climate is wonderful and from almost anywhere you can see the volcanoes around the town. |

 |
Talking of volcanoes... This one is El Misti, 5822 metres above sea level. By standing on a chair I could see it from my hotel room. When I return to Peru I will climb El Misti - hopefully. |

The session I delivered in Arequipa ended with a translation. Not from Spanish to English, but from a text to a practical skill -in this case, juggling. |

Cusco is the old Incan capital and is a wonderful place. I stayed at the El Ninos hostal. A wonderful place (the courtyard is the picture) and it is run as a charity to support an orphanage for 250 street children. For more details in Dutch or English, click here. |

On his way over to Lima, I met Doris who put me in touch with the lovely Teoluz who happens to be the sister of Miss Peru (1992). She spent 3 days with me in the incredible Colca Canyon. | |||
