We're updating the blog today....hope to finish off Peru so we can start on the Galapagos! Booked a cruise starting Feb4 for 7 days on the Eclipse ... and plan to fly to Isabella for a couple of days this week...hotter than h#ll here and of course Toronto is having its mildest January on record! No matter - having a great time.......adios!

Liz, the pictures are incredible...plus it is a great read. Keep it coming.

Would you consider it worth staying an extra day at Machu Picchu Pueblo hotel for the birdwatching (and views and orchids)? How was the January weather at Machu Picchu?

Thanks for any insights
