Holidays in Perú!



In february 2015, after working for two months, I gathered enough money to travel to our neighboring country, Perú. My traveling companions were four friends, we met in high school. The trip began on february 3, when we got on the plane that dropped in Arica.





After crossing the border we rush to arrive on the famous city of Cusco, but on the trip my ears suffered by height. The coca leaf helped a little, but the dizziness did´nt stop until the hostel.











After overcoming these obstacles, we were be able to begin to enjoy. Cusco is a really fascinating city, offers years of culture and knowledge, and on the other hand, the best nights in bars and dance clubs.








In this place not only we met Machu Picchu, but will also other major cities Incas as Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo and Pisac.

Then we drove into the coast to go to a beatiful beach. In Máncora, the water is warm and there are waves perfect to swimming. Natural Juices were the best I´ve tasted. Our trip ended on February 28, in the month that has been undoubtedly the best of my life

Vietnam

When we talk about the Cold War, Vietnam is a name that sounds immediately. However the actually stage isn´t according to this mindset.  I like the history, and Vietnam has plenty of that: in their books, their cities but especially in its people.  A place that have ancient and modern history.

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a country with many natural places, wich is among the twenty countries witth more biodiversity. Moreover, it is a country that belongs to a very different from our own area. I would love to learn more about their religion: Buddhism, culinary and learn about their lifestyle traditions.







Among the tourist attractions are The Cat Bá Island, which boasts beautiful beaches and parks full of amazing flora and fauna, perfect place for trekking and swimming in its calm waters. Another place I hope to know is the Thien Mu in Hué Pagoda, the imperial symbol of ancient city. 


I think I live a couple of years in Vietnam, to be more than just a vacations!
