Erin & Regan's South American Adventure
Pisco city
Hola,
Upon arriving in Pisco we checked into the Hostal Belen (see in photo) they charged a somewhat exhorbitant price of 35 soles per night (around NZ$26). Notice the cool little tuk-tuk taxi thing in the foreground, these are absolutely everywhere.
Here in SA they seem to have replaced indicators with the horn, they also use the horn to signal they are coming, when it looks like youre about to step out in front of them (a good thing) or, it is a signal to ask if you want a ride. When in a taxi, the road rules are not apparent, they change lanes darting in front of traffic (both oncoming and otherwise) and sometimes randomly stop abruptly to allow pedestrians (or other bigger cars) to go.
Two more photos, this time of the old church (the yellowish building) and another cool looking one, we think is a church also, painted with blue and white stripes.
On our first day here we went to the candelabra, ballestas islands and Paracas national park...
