(Part of a series of articles by Fi trawling the archives for photos taken on the tiny compact camera way back when). Upon the recommendation of our fellow travellers we decided to head up the coast with a short stop at Trujillo – a multicoloured colonial style town which has various large archaeological sites close […]
We stayed in a quirky guesthouse in Trujillo which served as a great spot to visit the local archaeological sites from. Our first stop was Huaca del Sol y la Luna – only La Luna is open to the public, the site served as a sacrificial centre and has amazingly restored and uncovered carvings and […]

My 32nd Birthday was spent amidst the ruins of Machu Picchu – we were lucky with the weather and got there early enough to capture the majority of it with barely a soul around. Take a peak below.
