#SagaAsia | Mandalay, the ancient capital of Myanmar
This is a quick tour of Mandalay in a day and a half stay. We wanted to chase the sun, but ended up chasing turquoise waters and, once again, temples.
Lima Peru. 5th stop # SagaSouthAmerica
The trip from Máncora to Lima by bus took almost 24 hours. I was remembering that this part I went with the Oltursa company, not Cruz del Sur as I said in the previous blog, although it does exist and I did use it later on. In any case, I arrived in Lima, tired from the trip and from the party in Máncora.
#SagaAsia | The city of the children of the lake (Inle)
Inle Lake, in Myanmar, is surrounded by more than 200 villages where the majority of the Intha live, which means “the children of the lake”. We had two days to explore it and we started by watching the sunrise on a body of water so still it looked like liquid mercury.
Máncora, Peru. 4th stop #SagaSouthAmerica
I have 3 photos of Máncora, a shame but you will see why I only have 3. But everything begins with the bus leaving at night from Cuenca (1st stop) and it was going fast, that’s how irresponsible drivers can be. A friend from the US was sitting next to me and he said “this guy means business”.
#SagaAsia | Bagan, the city of the 2000 temples
We left China at the end of January 2020, as they closed one by one the borders that we were crossing. Until we finally got to Myanmar (Burma). We touched down in Mandalay and, after a few moments of traveling, we entered Bagan, the city of temples and a World Heritage Site.
#SagaSouthAmerica Ingapirca Ruins, Ecuador. 3rd stop
One day after going to Cajas National Park (2nd stop), I went to the Inca Cañari ruins of Ingapirca. From Cuenca it is a trip of almost 3 hours by bus. In addition, the bus stopped every 10 meters to pick up people.
October 9, 1820, Independence of Guayaquil
Inspired by the revolutionary movements brewing around America, in 1814 José de Antepara, José Joaquín Olmedo and José de Villamil arrived in Guayaquil to promulgate among the people of Guayaquil, not only rooting for a change in authorities, but to change the political and social structure of America.
#SagaAsia | A movie-like town at the foot of the Great Wall
This is what we came for, in China. The big Wall. I considered several times skipping this tourist part of China because, due to its fame, there’s a deeply rooted imaginary and I did not think that living it would change it that much. But I was wrong. We got to the Great Wall in Simatai from a small town that looked like a movie studio, the Water Town of Gubei.
