Don't hate the playa, hate the game - an adventure in Peru
An excellent blog by an intrepid couple of Tucan Travellers, writing with tongue firmly in cheek about their Adventure Tour of Peru which started Boxing Day in 2009. Loads of photos to see here, including public art and architecture in Lima, views of Miraflores, the wildlife of Ballestas Islands, the Huacachina Oasis and sandboarding exploits, overhead views of the Nazca lines, the pretty colonial city of Arequipa, the Colca Canyon and thermal baths along the way.

It was big. It was yellow. It was a Tucan Travel truck!
In 2008, Mark and Becs travelled on one of Tucan Travel's big yellow trucks through Chile and Argentina, into the Patagonia region of South America. Crystal clear rivers, towering mountains, and dogs with brandy barrels under their chins... it sounds like a scene from the Swiss Alps, but this was Argentina! Then they headed south into Chilean Patagonia for some hiking in Los Glaciers National Parque and on to Torres del Paine to see some condors soaring on the currents. Read the blog of their 2008 journey here.

A trail less trodden - an alternative route to Machu Picchu
Kevin has always been partial to seeking out the less trodden, more “authentic” locales. Maybe it’s just for bragging rights, or perhaps because he's been put off by movies exposing “the Real Cancun” and the like. Whatever the cause, this compulsion of his to choose the more remote and quieter path has consistently delivered rewarding insights and richer travel experiences... about the Lares Trek
