Yahtzee: Peru or Bust
Sun Valley Online
By David Larson
Going to Peru reminds the soul the importance of money, the importance of family, the importance of religion, the importance of friends.
My flight from Portland to Atlanta to Lima touched down Tuesday at midnight. With the nighttime warmth greeting, taxis screaming and shanty looking neighborhoods full of kids playing night time soccer, I headed to the neighborhood of San Miguel, where I would eat warm empanadas, sip on Nescafe, roll my eyes at picky Argentians and catch another flight to Cusco.

Visit to the island of Amantani in Peru’s Lake Titicaca
Block Island writer visits the island of Amantani in Peru’s Lake Titicaca
By Jen Lighty
The Block Island Times
After ten years of contemplative Block Island winters, I finally took that trip to the Andes I’ve been talking about (for 10 years). Much to my surprise, the magnificent mountains were not my favorite place in Peru. Rather, I found myself enchanted with Amantani, an island in Lake Titicaca, which, at seven square kilometers, is just a little bigger than Block Island.
I began my trip with a visit to the home of former Block Island residents Rosalee and Peruko Ccopacatty. Peruko, a native of the area surrounding Lake Titicaca, told me that South America is 50 years behind the United States in both positive and negative ways.

Exploring Peru
Cornell professor and wife find beauty, history in their travels
By Daniel R. Schwarz
Special to The Journal
After visiting Argentina and Brazil last December, my wife and I wanted to continue our exploration of South America. While our primary goal as travelers is learning about history and culture, other incentives were South America's warm summer weather and long hours of daylight during our dark glacial Ithaca winter.
When possible, we try to avoid organized tours. Using some suggestions from tour brochures and friends, we booked our trip ourselves and made arrangements with hotels by e-mail. LAN, the Chilean International airline, served us well throughout our trip. We arrived early Dec. 17 in Lima, Peru where, as we descended, I had my first sighting of the magnificent Andes. From beginning to ending, including flights, our trip lasted 18 days.
