Had a great adventure with Toucan - travelling from LIma to La Paz . Got to experience the local culture with very little time spent in large urban towns or cities - just what I was looking for. The Peruvian people are warm and welcoming and the landscape stunning. The tour was very demanding physically and at times I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew!! however wouldn't have missed any of it - even the Lares Trail. The experience of having my back pack stolen on the second day was extremely stressful and a major challenge to replace passport, Peruvian immigration form, credit cards, money etc. So a few tips for anyone else finding themselves in this position. Not all countries have an embassy in LIma and if you are lucky enough to find you're Embassy it may take 24-48 hours to have your passport replaced. You will need a copy of your old passport, copy of your itinerary and a police report. You will be able to replace your Peruvian immigration form in LIma, Ariquipa or a Cusco however these offices have limited opening hours - Peru is a beautiful country - and in spite of my 'little problem' I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone with an adventurous spirit
