A visit to northern Peru- part five- Cajamarca

These two last pictures were from my stop-off in Cajamarca on my way back, where I stayed at the lovely Jazmines Hostel.

A visit to northern Peru- part three- Banos del Inca, Cajamarca

 *

I took the bus up into he Andes to Cajamarca. But because of Carnaval I couldn't find a place in the centre at first so I stayed down in a resort called Banos del Inca, notable for hot springs and soft hills. 

I worked quite happily and this set of pictures is very good, I think, often much influenced by Cezanne.

Peru: part two

Peru: part two

I found Peru extremely agreeable, and I've resolved to escape the summer there, from late January to the end of February.

I'm going to stop in Lima this time, then I'll continue to Trujullo, and then up to  Cajamarca via Huamachuco, which I'll use as bases to explore the surrounding Andean region, thus:

I'm happy with the new double carriers, which allow me to carry considerably more materials. I am therefore able to travel for longer, a month or more. 

Join me if you wish,
