The first of the last stops

(Monday-Wednesday, 3-5 August 2009)

Here I am, in Peru. Which will be the last destination in my 7-month wondering around LatAm. So, I guess this is the first of the last stops…

This is the beach of Los Organos, in the (truly!) desert coast of northern Peru. It’s just half hour, but a million miles, away form Máncora, probably the most popular beach hangout in Peru.

After running away from Máncora, scared by an overdeveloped and uninteresting offer of restaurants, bars and internet cafes mostly targeted at foreign tourists, I found a quiet settlement, which feels local and where the fishermen come to you just for a nice talk.

Once again on this trip I realise you often don’t need to walk that far to run away from the tourist traps of this world…
