Andes

I am going to go to Peru, the South America.

The reasons why I want to go there are that I want to see Andes, and I am interested in the plants of there. Also I love Latin Music, and clothes of them.
Maybe I should go there in September, so flight ticket will be cheaper than other season I have enough time to travel.
I prefer to go travel by my self, because I do not want someone to disturb my precious travel memory.

I will leave Narita on September 1ｓｔ. The flight time is 4:oopm.
Firstable I will go to L.A. and transfer to Lima. I will stay L.A. for 3 hours.
I will arrive Lima at 11:55pm at last. I use the American Airlines.

I will return to Tokyo(Narita) from Lima on September 16th.
My flight time is 11:50pm. This time I will stay New York for 3 hours to wait the flight for Narita. Again, I use the American Airlines.

The cost of both flights is $1590. I am a little bit worried, because it is fairy cheap.


I chose the hostel named Home Peru which is very cheap hostel in Lima.
Actually it is colonial mantion with a well maintained garden. It is also in a good area of Lima.
The good point of this hostel is the staffs can speak English. Also there is a small library there, its very nice and neat.
There are air conditioning,Colour TV,Iron and ironing board,Mini bar and Telephone in each guest room.
It costs $210 for 14 days stay. I do not have enough money to stay a great hotel, so I think it is OK for me.

The sightseeing spots I want to go are Iglesia de San Fransisco and　Pachacamac.

Iglesia de San Francisco is the church of the Spain baroque in Lima. In 1574, the tower of two bell towers which is 40m in height stands in the front.There is catacomb that 70,000 ashes are unexploited underground.

Pachacamac is the remains of the pre-Incaic civilization times in Lima.
It is built the seventh century, and it is said when destroyed by the Spaniard whom Incaic civilization invaded in conquest in the 15th century.

We can also enjoy the food there. Here are some examples.

Papa a la huanca na is sprinkled yellow cream sauce to the potato which sliced slightly into thick pieces. It taste simple, but very popular meal.

Cebiche is the meal of an onion, a sweet potato, a white fish, a cuttlefish, a kite, a lobster. Add all of them with dressing and lemon juice. It come out in one dish.

Encocado de mariscos is the meal of coconut milk and seafood. It is not dessert. it often come out in the husk of the coconut. I love coconuts! I should try it.

Picarones is the meal which sprinkled syrup to churros. It taste unique and is popular as dessert. sound nice for me.

Inca Kola is a Peruvian national soft drink. Also we can have it at McDonald there. However it does not taste like Coca-Cola. The color is yellow. Very Intersting!!

I can enjoy sightseeing by Bus, because there are not many trains. Also Taxi is a little bit dangerous for travelers.
