Saturday 3rd October 2015 I woke up around 5am and the first thing I did was to check out tips online about the border crossing between Peru and Chile. Sometimes, border crossing can be tricky, sometimes stressful. Better know which scams to avoid, if there is any! I found this really good detailed explanation of … More Arequipa to Arica

Monday 28th September 2015 At 4pm I grabbed a random taxi from the street and off I was to the airport.
