Pucusana

Pucusana was great. We arrived and were unable to get to our little hostel on the hill because the drivers of the little mototaxis (3 wheel motorbike things) were all watching the football. When it finiished they took us to the place where we were welcomed by the owner Elizabeth who was loveley! The views of the port were amazing and we went down to eat my new favourite food - ceviche - raw fresh seafood in a lime and chilli salsa... Next day we wandered off over the nearby hills in the garua - coastal fog which is pretty permanent for most of the year here. We found some old walls on the top of the hills, then decended down a perilously steep cliff to a stangely deserted beach, which turned out to be private, but there was noone around except for a gardener who didnt seem to mind us. We trekked back to town, visited a deserted beach reached through a cave and ate some more stunning fresh seafood before being chaufered around the harbour on a little fishing boat to see more wildlife. On the way back in we saw a huge fish being hauled out of a fishing boat by winch. We also took out an afternoon to go to a small village to visit the pools which have medicinal properties and weird green water.

From here we said our goodbyes and continued up to Lima...
