One womans search for adventure cycling through South America
Eleanor Meecham cycled alone around South America, and lived to tell the tale. And what a tale it is. Camping in a salt desert, getting altitude sickness, rough roads… this is definately an intrepid tale.
The book is Llamas and Empanadas, published by Penguin books.

For me one of countries with more tourist attractions is Peru, this year I came to this country and knew all the center and south. Destinations I liked the most were Cusco, Arequipa, Ayacucho and Puno, where I met amazing places such as Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. I recommend them to everyone. Also, I advise you to hire a travel agency. I did it with TurPeru and was very good, they arranged all my tours and I got discounts for the reservation online. Its website is http://www.turperu.com.pe
