Incahuasi

There is a secret little place in the region of Lambayeque that not many know and some choose to visit. It’s a small mountain village that Becca hoped would be full of mystery and the beauty of the Peruvian sierra, just in the backyard of her regional capitol rather than an overnight bus ride away. As it turned out, it was a bit less mystery and a bit more…vomiting and being cold…

It started like so many weekend adventures before it. Becca and her friend Dd spent one delightful (and slightly drunken) evening in Chiclayo, enjoying good conversation and good food. On Saturday morning, they ventured on to Ferreñafe, where they found the combo stop and waited for nearly two hours as people trickled in, filling up seats. They were lucky enough to get the front seats for the leg room, but Becca was unlucky enough to sit in the middle where she had to put her head into a space in the speaker in order to sit up straight.

Four hours, a long bumpy, winding road, and a lot go jokes later, they arrived in a rainy, cold mountain town or few people and a lot of wind.

The following morning, Becca and Dd went on a hike in the hills, enjoying a long conversation. Afterward they came back to town, they found the weaver's association and spoke with some amazingly talented women, eventually buying all manner of artesania. 

The girls spent their last evening talking and being cold. Unfortunately Becca fell ill and wasn't much better when they got back on the combi to go home at 2AM, but the mountains remained beautiful and trip made for a good story.
