Spicy Peru request! Lemme know if you want a part 2 for days two and three ;) ~ Belgianon

Four days. Four fucking days. Four days straight of hiking on a trip that was supposed to be a nice little relaxing rest for the two of us. I wasn’t angry, per se – just… I hadn’t prepared, okay?!

Evan told me to pack light, since we’d be in a warm climate, and sure, I was hiking ready in the sense that I had boots and what not – but four damned days of climbing… ugh. I’d have done some preparation on the stairmaster back home if I’d known. Still, my protests didn’t stop Evan from packing two camping rucksacks with everything the tour guides had said we’d need for the Inca Trail. It surprised me, actually, that Evan even wanted to do something like this; he wasn’t abundantly sporty in the sense that he enjoyed the Great Outdoors, but then I was always learning things about him as he grew more comfortable with me.

Four day hikes along gorgeous backdrops with a local tour guide taking us off-piste for a special tour hadn’t been on my bingo card for the year. But then I learned that donkeys would be involved, and it all clicked into place.

“Ready to go?” Evan asked, pulling a baseball cap over his curls. He’d had them cut down a bit for the trip so he wouldn’t get too hot, but he’d left enough for me to hold onto when it mattered most.

“Sure,” I replied, picking up my rucksack. Evan slapped my ass as I walked past.

“You’re hot with that on.”

“You’d find a fucking chipmunk hot at this point.” I still stuck my ass out at him as we left the AirBnb he’d found. Evan usually took care of all the travel planning, since he had a strange knack for finding hidden gems away from the press and the absolutely insane fans.

The first day into the trip was a huge historical overload, with facts and stories told by a guide who painted the brightest, golden picture of Peru’s Incan history. I found myself lost in a world I knew nothing about as we wandered around ancient ruins that seemed to vibrate and pulse with thousands of years of energy… And when we set up camp for the night, we were so deep into the jungle-like surroundings that we got the treat of a lifetime: the glittering backdrop of billions of stars. Evan’s eyes were glued to me most of the evening, as I stared at the skies in love.

Day two… well, let’s just say, Evan being in his element asking questions and being a goof had me a little hot and heavy when we got onto the donkeys. The sway of the animal put my mind firmly on the sway of a certain someone beneath me, on top of me, behind me… I couldn’t shake it. Something about Peru’s breathtaking landscapes, and the fact that we were almost entirely alone except for this local guide… it was giving waterfalls.

“Stop thinking about it,” Evan murmured, moving his donkey beside mine while the guide went into the trees a bit to pee.

“About what?”

“About me fucking you against one of those trees over there in a bit…” Evan reached over and squeezed my bare thigh.

“I mean, if you’re offering…”

“Be good and we’ll see.” He grinned at me wolfishly and trotted on ahead, stretching up so I could see the damned work he’d been doing in the damned gym for a damned role he had coming up. Damn.

We reached a little clearing, and it was time for lunch. Lunch usually meant our guide buggered off for a bit on his own, and Evan and I were able to be alone, too. Our guide went down to a little ravine with one of the books he’d brought. We knew the part of the trail that was safe for us to be on, and so I wandered off a bit, pulling my top off to reveal a bikini underneath (literally no-one had time for anything more in that heat). I draped my top on a tree branch, fully aware that Evan was watching me.

I didn’t look back, though.

As I stepped through the lush foliage, Evan rushed behind me, pantsed me, and pinned me against a tree. He picked me up, wasting no time in freeing himself. He didn’t even give me a chance to get him going – he was already there, rock hard against my ass. He looked me in the eyes, his hand somehow rubbing me up in all the right places, spreading the slickness around my clit so much so that my head hit the tree behind me, and I had to fight to not scream Evan’s name deep into the fucking trees as he slid a finger into me.

“Can you f-fucking not,” I breathed. Evan laughed, attacking my bare throat and chest as he replaced his finger painfully slowly with his dick, adjusting his grip on my ass. It was thrilling, the breeze on my bare ass and breasts, the idea that at any point, anyone could come and find us… god, I nearly came before he even started moving.

“I just wanna savour this,” he murmured. “Scream my name.”

“No! No –“

“Come on,” he groaned, moving inside me. He felt fucking amazing, every sense heightened as he drove into me, his hat falling to the floor. I ran my fingers through his hair, grinning as his hips grew more and more urgent. “Scream for me, baby, come on…”

“S-some m-might he-ear,” I panted, face flushing with colour at the thought of the guide hearing me. We still had two days to spend with him.

“G-go on… d-dare you,” Evan growled, kissing my jaw. “Dare you.”

“F-fuck – Evan! EVAN!” The bastard had reached down and, with a very well-placed thumb, pressed down on my clit. I didn’t care about the noise then. The world could hear me. The ghosts of the Incas who undoubtedly surrounded us could hear me. I didn’t care.

“That’s it, baby,” Evan growled, grinning. “Fucking – c-come – come f-for me, baby –“

Entirely at his mercy, his thrusts turned sloppy, and his thumb circling my clit faltered a little as he tried to hold back, but couldn’t. Evan buried his face in my neck, trembling as he came, his breath hot against my already-hot skin. I could feel him dripping out of me, and it felt downright fucking sinful… I tried to move against him, teetering on the edge myself. He looked down at me, a gleam in his eye.

“Don’t you dare,” I whispered. “Don’t you dare leave me like this…” I was stuck.

“I kinda like it,” he murmured, stroking my damp face. “All needy and desperate…” He reached between us and stroked me slowly, stoking the fire that nearly made my body snap. “But I don’t remember hearing my name…” Motherfucker.

“Evan, Evan,” I breathed, desperate for him to speed up. Even a little bit. “Evan – Evan!”

“Come on… louder…” He pressed a little harder. He moved a little bit inside me.

“Ev-AN! EVAN!”

“Who do you belong to?”

“EVAN!” With that, he gave me the rough circle and thrust that I needed, and I came far harder than I’d expected to. I blacked out for a second, but when I came back to my senses, Evan was holding my face against his chest, chuckling.

“Good girl,” he murmured. “I think that noise scared a couple goats.”

“Shut… the fuck… up… about fucking… goats…” I panted, leaning against him. I looked to the side… and five goats were stood, watching, chewing on grass or whatever. “Oh god…”

“Come on. We should get back to the donkeys… before the goats take us to their leader…” Evan slid out of me, and the noise was unholy. I grimaced, feeling him drip a little bit down my thigh. He produced a packet of wet wipes from his back pocket. I cleaned up a bit, then put my shorts back on.

Our guide was, thankfully, sleeping by the ravine when we got back to the donkeys. Evan held my hand the entire way back, and as we lay in the sun for a bit, enjoying the sounds of nature, I couldn’t help but feel just a little more in love with him.

we’ve been blessed again 🫶🏼

[gemwolfz]

the thing i miss most from my trip to japan has got to be the convenience store food/snack selection. onigiri is so easy to eat (not just in terms of convenience, but as in its rice and i love rice) and there was always such a variety of pastries. and there was that cantaloupe flavored frozen dessert (shaped like soft serve ice cream but definitely wasnt ice cream but idk what it was exactly) that i got on a walk that was sooo so stinkin good

i love being middle class enough to go on big trips ive loved every country ive ever been to. peru was so good it was my senior trip so we had a whole local guide and all our meals were paid for and were very high end (and i was forced to try new things because there were only like 2 options per meal) and although it was a very tiring "we are doing so much every day" trip it too was great fun 10/10 everyone i encountered there was lovely (the only negative interaction being with people from one of the other schools in our tour group, which im still fuming about to this day but i digress) and i would love to go again and especially to spend more time in lima.

just to finish flexing all the countries ive been to my first time out of the country was a trip to england and france. both were pretty. my brother got injured and had to get a cast so we got disability priority for a lot of things which i feel scummy for appreciating so much but also god the lines for things were horrible im so glad we got to skip so many. anyway london was quite lovely, paris as well but i think the main reason i would ever return is because we never got to go to the louvre

anyway enough sleepy rambling i need to actually sleep goodbye

Isla del Sol

Feeling much better this morning, I was getting ready at a leisurely pace for my 6.35am pick up to head back to Copacabana and on to Puno and Arequipa. The smarmy reception guy told me the bus was waiting outside so I rushed myself out there to a huge bus with only two people inside already. I chose a good seat at the front and as we made stops all around La Paz city gradually every seat filled up and to my surprise I ended up sitting next to Jane, and Adrian sat opposite - the British couple from the Uyuni salt flats tour. I always find it funny on these trips because you encounter the same people all the time who are doing a similar route to you. I remember first experiencing it in Eastern Europe with Olga when she pointed out a solo guy who we’d seen around Tallin, Vilnius, and Kaunas. Liam and Alicia, the NZ couple from yesterday were also on this bus segment making their way to Peru. With the drive around La Paz manoeuvring the huge bus down narrow streets I could also sympathise with drivers because I’d absolutely hate to drive in Bolivia. All cars and even buses are run down old manuals and almost every street has a steep grade meaning constant hill starts and stops. Plus the shared van drivers probably do this 6-7 days a week for 10 hours a day or something crazy in bumper to bumper aggressive traffic. It was a nice sunny day though so I could see the hills rolling by and then Copacabana and Lake Titicaca come into view once we’d crossed over on the ferry at Tiquiña. In Copacabana I set out to spend the last of my bolivianos and bought some market souvenirs and also went for a mocha and continental breakfast at Juyra. I made sure I was early to the big anchor meeting point for the tour to Isla del Sol but apparently half the group thought that was the meeting point but the actual meeting point was the restaurant over the road so we ended up departing late once the guide managed to round everyone up. Finally we made our way across Lake Titicaca to Isla del Sol which took about an hour, it was calm and sunny though so nice conditions to sit back, relax and enjoy the views. We arrived on the island and immediately queued for the bathrooms, it was a steep uphill climb for the next 15 minutes or so. The guides had told us many times that we need to pay 10 bolivianos as an entrance fee per person, no cards, no other currency, cash in local currency only. And yet there were two dumbass British tourists that found themselves there without the cash holding up the group of 40 people from starting our hike. I guess some other people gave them some cash to get through and then we continued up where the guide told us that we were on Isla del Sol (sun island) which historically used to be inhabited only by men. Across the lake there is also moon island which was inhabited only by women. Now there about 800 people living on the island. The next stop had a woman with an alpaca and was charging 10 bolivianos for a photo with it. There was also a lady offering a mate herb to smell and then trying to convince us to order the mate tea from her - she didn’t realise we were in a big mad rush to do the hike and return to the bus. The last part was downhill but it was bottlenecked by loads of local old people with canes who were staggering down the steps two abreast holding up the works until we could find a wide part to overtake them. My legs were a bit like jelly by the bottom so I was glad I could have a seat in the shade for a few minutes while waiting for the rest of the group so we could board the boat back to Copacabana. We rushed back but ended up arriving after our 5pm departure time for the bus, so the driver needed to floor it to the border. Our new Peruvian guide Claudia picked us up at the border and helped us get our stamps, exchange money, and get settled on our new bus. She also broke the news to me that I was the only passenger needing the Puno to Arequipa route today so I’d be taking the bus towards Cusco and then around midnight I’d be woken up and switched to the Cusco to Arequipa bus. Woohoo…

Exploring the Lares Trek Distance: A Journey Through Peru's Hidden Gem 

When it comes to trekking in Peru, the Inca Trail often steals the spotlight. However, for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path adventure, the Lares Trek is an exceptional alternative. This trek not only offers stunning landscapes and rich cultural experiences but also allows for a more intimate encounter with the Andean way of life. In this blog, we'll explore the Lares Trek distance and why it should be on your travel bucket list. 

Understanding the Lares Trek Distance 

The Lares Trek distance varies depending on the specific route chosen, but it typically spans around 33 to 40 kilometers (20 to 25 miles). This distance is spread over three to four days, making it a manageable yet rewarding challenge for trekkers of varying fitness levels. The trek begins in the Sacred Valley and winds its way through picturesque villages, lush valleys, and high mountain passes, eventually concluding at the iconic Machu Picchu. 

Day-by-Day Breakdown of the Lares Trek Distance 

Day 1: Cusco to Lares Hot Springs The journey begins with a scenic drive from Cusco to the village of Lares. Here, trekkers can relax and acclimate to the altitude by soaking in the natural hot springs. The trekking starts with a gentle hike to the first campsite, covering approximately 6 kilometers (3.7 miles). This introductory leg of the trek offers a taste of the beautiful landscapes and prepares you for the days ahead. 

Day 2: Lares Hot Springs to Huacahuasi The second day is one of the most challenging but also the most rewarding. Trekkers will cover around 16 kilometers (10 miles), ascending to the Ipsaycocha Pass at 4,450 meters (14,600 feet). The climb is steep, but the panoramic views of the Andean peaks and the chance to visit remote indigenous communities make it all worthwhile. 

Day 3: Huacahuasi to Patacancha On this day, the trail descends into the valley, leading to the village of Patacancha. The distance covered is about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). Along the way, you'll pass through traditional villages where locals still practice ancient weaving techniques and agricultural methods. This cultural immersion is a highlight of the Lares Trek distance. 

Day 4: Patacancha to Ollantaytambo and Train to Machu Picchu The final trekking day is shorter, covering around 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) to the town of Ollantaytambo. From here, a scenic train ride takes you to Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu. The excitement builds as you prepare to explore one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. 

Why Choose the Lares Trek? 

The Lares Trek distance may be shorter than some other trekking routes, but what it lacks in length, it makes up for in cultural richness and natural beauty. This trek offers a more secluded and serene experience compared to the busier Inca Trail. You'll encounter fewer tourists and have more opportunities to interact with local communities, gaining insights into their traditional way of life. 

Moreover, the diverse landscapes, from high-altitude passes to verdant valleys, provide a constantly changing and visually stunning backdrop to your journey. The Lares Trek also allows for a more flexible itinerary, with options to customize the route based on your preferences and fitness level. 

Alpaca Expeditions: Your Trusted Guide 

For those interested in embarking on the Lares Trek, Alpaca Expeditions is a top choice. They offer expertly guided tours that ensure you experience the trek safely and comfortably. Their knowledgeable guides provide valuable insights into the local culture and history, enhancing your overall experience. 

Alpaca Expeditions also prioritizes sustainable and responsible tourism. They work closely with local communities, ensuring that your visit has a positive impact on the region. With their well-organized logistics and attention to detail, you can focus on enjoying the journey without any worries. 

In conclusion, the Lares Trek distance may be just a number, but the experiences and memories you'll gain along the way are immeasurable. This trek is a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty, offering a unique perspective on the Peruvian Andes. Whether you're an experienced hiker or a first-time trekker, the Lares Trek is an unforgettable journey that should not be missed.

Discover the Best Machu Picchu Tours: A Journey to the Lost City

Machu Picchu, the legendary Lost City of the Incas, stands as one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring destinations in the world. Nestled high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, this ancient citadel attracts travelers from across the globe, each seeking to uncover the mysteries and marvels of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Whether you're an adventurous trekker or a comfort-seeking traveler, there’s a Machu Picchu tour tailored just for you. This guide will help you discover the best Machu Picchu tours and explore the benefits of opting for Machu Picchu all-inclusive tours.

Why Machu Picchu?

Machu Picchu is not just a destination; it’s an experience. The ancient ruins, enveloped by lush, mist-covered mountains, offer a glimpse into the rich history of the Inca civilization. From the carefully carved stone terraces to the panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, every corner of Machu Picchu whispers tales of a bygone era.

Choosing the Right Machu Picchu Tour

With a variety of tours available, selecting the right one can be overwhelming. However, considering your preferences and budget can help narrow down your options.

1. Guided Group Tours

For those who enjoy camaraderie and shared experiences, guided group tours are an excellent choice. These tours often include transportation, a professional guide, and entrance fees. You’ll explore the citadel with fellow travelers, sharing stories and insights as you uncover the mysteries of Machu Picchu. These tours are typically more budget-friendly and offer a well-rounded experience of the site.

2. Private Tours

If you prefer a more personalized experience, a private Machu Picchu tour might be the perfect fit. Private tours allow you to explore at your own pace, with a dedicated guide tailoring the journey to your interests. This option is ideal for couples, families, or anyone looking for an intimate experience without the crowds.

3. Machu Picchu Hiking Tours

For the adventure enthusiasts, hiking to Machu Picchu is an unforgettable experience. The Inca Trail, Salkantay Trek, and Lares Trek are among the most popular routes. These multi-day hikes offer breathtaking views, challenging terrains, and a deep connection to nature. Hiking tours typically include camping gear, meals, guides, and porters to ensure a smooth journey to the Lost City.

The Perks of Machu Picchu All-Inclusive Tours

For travelers seeking a hassle-free and luxurious experience, Machu Picchu all-inclusive tours are the way to go. These tours are designed to take care of every detail, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the experience without worrying about logistics.

1. Comprehensive Itinerary

Machu Picchu all-inclusive tours offer a well-structured itinerary that covers not only the visit to Machu Picchu but also other highlights of the Sacred Valley and Cusco. From guided tours of ancient ruins to cultural experiences in local villages, these packages provide a holistic experience of the region.

2. Comfort and Convenience

All-inclusive tours ensure your comfort throughout the journey. From premium accommodations to gourmet meals, every aspect of your trip is meticulously planned. You’ll travel in style, with transportation, entrance fees, and permits all included, allowing you to focus solely on enjoying your adventure.

3. Expert Guidance

With Machu Picchu all-inclusive tours, you’ll have access to experienced guides who are not only knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region but also passionate about sharing it with you. Their insights and stories will enhance your understanding and appreciation of Machu Picchu and its surroundings.

Best Time to Visit Machu Picchu

When planning your Machu Picchu tour, timing is crucial. The dry season, from May to September, is the most popular time to visit, offering clear skies and pleasant hiking conditions. However, this period also sees the highest number of visitors. For those looking to avoid the crowds, the shoulder seasons of April and October provide a balance of good weather and fewer tourists.

Tips for a Memorable Machu Picchu Experience

Book in Advance: Whether opting for a guided tour or an all-inclusive package, booking early is essential, especially if you plan to hike the Inca Trail, as permits sell out quickly.

Acclimate to the Altitude: Spend a few days in Cusco or the Sacred Valley to acclimate to the high altitude before heading to Machu Picchu.

Pack Smart: Comfortable hiking shoes, layered clothing, and sunscreen are must-haves for your journey.

Machu Picchu is more than just a destination—it’s a journey into the heart of ancient Inca civilization. Whether you’re drawn to the adventure of hiking or the ease of an all-inclusive tour, there’s a perfect Machu Picchu experience waiting for you. By choosing the right tour, you’ll ensure that your visit to the Lost City is as magical and unforgettable as it deserves to be. So pack your bags, lace up your hiking boots, and get ready to discover the wonders of Machu Picchu.
