A hidden part of Peru few get to see, La Reserva de Salinas y Aguada Blanca (the National Salt Lake and White Water Reserve) is not far from both Arequipa and the Colca Canyon... but I saw no other tourists there. Like none at all! Only vastness and beauty.
...
Just another part of the amazing, alternative tour I got to enjoy in this part of Peru. Budget-friendly and crowd-free, it was def one of my highlights in this country 💫 ...
Check out my full article on the experience here:

Hot springs and sunshine?
Yes please Peru!
...
...
If you’ve heard about the Colca Canyon - one of the world’s deepest canyons FYI! - it’s likely that you know it only as a 2 day hiking trip from Arequipa. ...
...
But such a trip just doesn’t do the cultural authenticity and dramatic beauty of this landscape justice. There’s honestly so much more to see and experience here.
...
...
My advice? Come for longer, stay in a local village (Yanque is my pick) and experience all those off the beaten track gems most miss!
You won’t want to leave... promise!

“To see the desert is like peeling the skin off a landscape.”
- Fred Williams
...
...
And I might add that to travel in Peru is like crossing the whole world in a week! From snow to sand, it’s about as diverse and magnificent as it gets out here.
...
...
No wonder I’ve been kept so busy and away from Instagram for so long! Sorry not sorry?!

I hope I haven’t peaked too soon Peru 😝
Enter: Laguna 69!
Mindblowing or what?!
...
Hop-skipping around these lakes like no tomorrow, but such is the reality of travelling through a country as massive and jampacked as Peru!
...
Onwards and downwards (to the coast!) I go 💃🏻

Instagram post 2143735610211603532_1792896082

Anyone up for a sail?!.
...
Yup another day, another post, another lake in Huascarán National Park, Peru.
...
This time it’s Lake Paron, which sits at 4,200m. Let’s just say things can get pretty cold at this height when the sun doesn’t shine!
...
Winter coats, plus hats, scarves, thick socks and gloves are a must when you come to this part of Peru.
...
I took them off for the photos, but most of this day I was wrapped up like the Michelin man!

Instagram post 2140113076794738636_1792896082

Ladies and Gents, I give you Laguna Churup 4,450m above sea level!
...
I’ve basically been hiking for a week in a national park high up in the Andes here in Peru.
...
Huascarán National Park is far less visited than the Andean hiking trails around Cusco and is all the more amazing for it.
...
One of my amazing followers actually recommended this place to me and I’m SOOOOO glad I came here! THANK YOU!
...
And to show my gratitude and just how mindblowing this spot is, I’m going to be sharing a lot of pics from here because I just can’t keep these views to myself... I mean, why would I?!

I’m sure there’s still some sketchy districts in Lima, but this city has seriously cleaned up its act in recent years... very literally. The streets are now clean enough to lie on!
...
This shot was snapped in the Barranco district - the bohemian street art cafe coastal spot to be and stay in this city. ...
Peru Tip no.1!

Instagram post 2130657188883325272_1792896082

HOORAH! Officially back on the road now and evidence captured here playing Hide and Seek in Madrid! 😂.
...
The Spanish capital is my first stop in a trip designed to get my Spanish back up to scratch. 🇪🇸.
...
So far I give myself 6/10. Long way to go! 👩‍🏫

When your instagram shot is full of sunscreen not rubbed in properly, it’s the sign that you were definitely having a good time in real life and not just posing and pretending!
...
...
Yes, glam as ever, here’s me having a ball discovering the remote Bohemian Switzerland area of the Czech Republic.
...
...
Only 1.5hrs (and 8 euros) by train from Prague this was the perfect antidote to city life and would make a wonderful sidetrip if you are heading to this historic capital.
...
A delightfully picturesque and relaxing forested area (actually right near the border of Saxony in Germany... as in so close you can lunch there) I hiked, canoed, biked and climbed my way around this beautiful landscape all to a backdrop of blue skies and sunshine!
...
Of course, it’s amazingly well priced here, with great beer too, and so brilliant to get a view of this country away from the tourist crowds and into rural Czech life!
...
Bohemian Switzerland... who knew you were a) in the Czech Republic and b) had so much to offer... including the largest sandstone arch in Europe?
Not me until now.... #sponsored
