I'm casting my mind back to last spring for the final post about our trip to Peru, when we travelled from Lima to Lake Titicaca, Puno, Cusco, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Puerto Maldonado, and back to Lima. It was - like all our long-haul trips - a jam-packed itinerary with lots of 6am starts, hotels and internal flights. Our penultimate stop was two days in the Peruvian Amazon, which was unlike anything I'd experienced before: spotting wild animals, sleeping in a rustic wooden lodge in the jungle, hiking through the humid rainforest and being bitten alive by mosquitoes. It was a fantastic, unique experience (apart from the bites), but I was also glad to return to city life... For our last three days, we continued exploring the capital, staying in the colourful, coastal district of Miraflores.
