Mini-Sven in Lima

Posted 26th October 2011
Lima, Peru: Distance Travelled = 155,325 miles

Hello!
After a really long journey we've made it all the way over to Peru. I thought I might try to find a teddy friend that everyone knows - Paddington Bear, he lives in deepest darkest Peru, but I'm not sure I will find him. I'll keep my eye open though! We're in Lima, which is the capital city of Peru. Lima was founded by the Spansih conquistador Francisco Pizaro in 1535, wich was a really, really long time ago! Wow! Of course we're not staying long here, far too much to see on this side of the world! More soon.
lots of love

Mini-Sven and the Nazca Lines

Posted 28th October 2011
Nazca, Peru: Distance Travelled = 155,776 miles

Hello!
Our journey has taken us to the Nazca Lines and the Nazca Ruins. The lines were really pretty and you could only really see them from the air. It's thought that the Nazca people made these lines so that their Gods could see them, so they had to be large. So it makes sense that you can see them best from the air, but they're not really sure how or why they were made. It was amazing to see them! The Nazca people were around from around 300BC to 800AD. A long time ago! More soon!

Mini-Sven in Arequipa

Posted 30th October 2011
Arequipa, Peru: Distance Travelled = 155,815 miles

Hello!
We're travelled to Arequipa in Peru now, this travelling is definitely hard work and I've got a long way to travel yet! From Arequipa we travelled to the Pata Pampa pass, I felt at home there, nice and snowy! Arequipa is the second largest city and was founded by the Spaniards.It's in the Andes and is very pretty! We travelled to the Colca Canyon from Arequipa via the Patapampa pass, which is at 4910 meters, no wonder there was snow!

Mini-Sven in the Colca Canyon

Posted 30th October 2011
Colca Canyon, Peru: Distance Travelled = 155,881 miles

Hello!
So we left Arequipa, took the Patampampa pass and went to the Colca Canyon. It's a reallt large canyon, larger than the Grand Canyon in America, nearly twice as deep! Lots and lots of tourists come here, about 160,000 visitors a year, wow! It's a great Canyon and really old too, with lots of evidence of the pre-Inca cultures, infact there are still people from the Collaua and Caban cultures here. Amazing! More soon!
lots of love
