My first stopover was in Paracas, where I stayed for a few days. I got off the bus early in the morning, where a friendly taxi driver greeted me directly. Actually, I wanted to walk, but the price was too cheap to say no. We drove along the paved road. I had no idea what kind of area my hostel was in. When we left the paved road and drove through a slum populated by stray dogs, I thought this was just the way to the hostel. But we stopped in the middle of it. I lit a cigarette and let the impression sink. After a few puffs Nicolas came out the door and greeted me warmly. I was 4 hours early but that wasn't a problem. His wife Mary immediately made me a fresh breakfast while Nicolas prepared my room. It was a very nice and maintained hostel. Not for high standards, but with a lot of love and attention. The first impression of Paracas immediately lost importance and I was glad to have such a nice accommodation. Tourism in Peru is just beginning to develop. But that's also its special charm.

Sand everywhere! Paved roads were rare, but boring anyway. ✌

How do you like this motive? I discovered it in Ica. ✌🌎

¡Hola! ✌😉

I was just randomly walking through Ica. If you have no direct goal in mind, you observe the environment much more attentive.

Each change of location gave me new and very different impressions of Peru.

This wall is full of interesting and beautiful motives.

There was a lot of street art in Peru, maybe I'll do an extra album. Eventually. I'm a sloth!

I spent only a few hours in Ica. I looked around the city and did some shopping. There was a lot going on that day because the elections took place. Unlike in Germany, it's mandatory in Peru to participate in the elections.
