Peru - Pucusana

23.06.2012 - 24.06.2012 21 °C

We were edging closer to the coast and about to see the ocean for the first time in a few months and we decided to step away from the tourist trail and check out the small fishing village of Pucusana. We arrived at night and after realising budget accommodation options were dives, we treated ourselves and stayed in a hotel. The town had a nice enough setting, a cool blowhole, a cliff shaped like Jesus (according to the locals) and fresh fish served right by the water... but the murky beach, strange smells, ordinary food and odd people meant we were off to Lima the next afternoon...
