Toromocho in the Andes

Toromocho in the Andes
I've just returned from a 2-day site reconnaissance visit in Toromocho, around 4500masl (metres above sea level), where Golder Associates is doing a feasibility study for the construction of a rockfill dam. It's a huge mining site where they extract copper....

I'm so busy!

It's already been 2 weeks since my last post. I'm lucky I have Céline around here to fill-up the gaps. So, what happened in two weeks? I'm gonna make this short but complete. I might extend on several points a bit later, but basically this will get you...

We miss internet

We miss internet
I realise it's been a while since we last wrote. Blame it on the internet-phone cut which we've had for a week now and which is driving Yannick crazy. The phone engineer came yesterday but left us with a phone that had a dial tone but could neither make...

Visas

When we arrived in Peru, both Yannick and I entered the country with visas. I went to the peruvian consulate in Brussels to get a business visa (27 euros, valid 30 days, see requirements here). The advantage of my business visa is that when the peruvian...

Telefonica is not good

Not that anybody would say the opposite, but I pay about half the price of the lowest legal salary here for an internet connexion which is, really, not good (compared to my posh European standards). Well, that doesn't give me a better person to handle...

This blog is now easy to find

We have made it... If you search for "Céline Pérou" or "Yannick Pérou" on Google now, you will find this blog first, which makes it unnecessary to even have a bookmark for us. How easier could it be? And in the end, this article will also help us keep...
