I’ve somehow managed to let a week pass by in Arequipa with almost no effort at all. After a couple of months of fleeing about northern Argentina and Bolivia I find it strange to have suddenly hit a downshift in my travels. I suppose I’m more comfortable here than I have been in a while, at the same time as not being able to decide what I want to do next. On the one hand I keen to go to Nazca, climb into an light aircraft and circle around the famous lines for a while, but on the other hand, several people have recommended that I go to Cusco first, then Nazca. My friend Wolf, on the third hand, emailed me to say that Cusco is a processing factory designed to relieve tourists of their money as quickly as possible, and he thinks Arequipa is better. So, I’m currently stuck in the loop, “Should I stay, or should I go?”.
