Welcome to PeruWe took an overnight bus from Loja in southern Ecuador & arrived in Chiclayo around 7am this morning. I slept for most of the trip.
So far this is what I know of northern Peru (we're only about 4 hours south of Ecuador).
It's hot. Mostly desert. You can see the Andes in the distance when you look east, they're pretty. It kinda reminds me of Mexico, along the road through the desert there isn't much & the towns that we passed looked pretty poor (thatched rooves & adobe walls @ times), but the quality of things increases as population density does. Chiclayo's got grocery stores, mototaxis, lots of little taxis, internet cafes, & comfortable hotels all pretty cheap too, Peru seems to have the best exchange rate yet for us.
More later,
