Chiclayo is a noisy, busy and smelly city in Nothern Peru, near / in the desert on a place where you would think nobody would like to found a city. There are three big markets where at the biggest you can find all kinds of random stuff; from fruits to clothing and even weird shaman potion to enhance all kinds of (sex) life.

On my way back I decided to look at the other side of the Podocarpus National Park, near Zamora. A lot of photo’s so check it out!

Some more Banos. The first one is from the piscina El Dorado, with termal baths, the others are from the zoo .

Chimborazo is the world’s highest mountain, at least if you count from the earth’s core and also the nearest point on earth from the sun. I took a mountain bike and went down from 5000 meter. Too bad – of course – the weather was kinda bad. Then again if you really want to see the vulcano, get of your lazy ass.

Plata is silver, isla is Island. It’s near Puerto Lopez and called ‘the poor man’s galapos’.

And I was pretty close!

Many plazas, look like they easily could be included in video games. This plaza reminds me of one, but I can’t put my finger on it. Simcity 4, Civcity Rome? What do you think?
