To avoid travelling through Colombia, we took a flight from Caracas
to Lima. Lima is supposed to be covered in fog all winter (yes, July

we had sun every single day throughout Peru!

One of many, many churches. This is the only picture we have, though,
because carrying around a camera here might lead to a robbery.
Hostal Wiracocha.
