Many would say that using Google maps in the city was too much, because for me not. Google maps has become so important that every time I get into the car I connect to maps to guide me where I want to go. Google could be said to be my co-pilot.
And so with Google I have traveled to various places that I have not known and therefore the title “A TRIP TO THE UNKNOWN” and that is that I have come to places that never travel, I remember that when I returned from Lima to Trujillo, from the road I saw a beautiful beach and in my mind I thought that soon I would go to that place. Later with Google maps I already knew what place it was. It was Tuquillo, I had heard but had never been there, let alone drive there.
I remember that months later I scheduled the trip, four hours from Trujillo, I miscalculated the departure time time so part of the road had to drive at night, I went with Google maps but I felt little afraid because the place was necessarily on the road had to take a detour and did not know which. But I felt little relief when the station told me, go with Google maps, there you will indicate the deviation, many people this way and arrive.
Wow, I said. And so it was. I kept driving and that’s how I go to Tuquillo. In the dark I parked and I put up my tent how wonderful the day was. Next, I had slept almost like on an island.

Another place where I have fond memories is Cajamarca-Porcon. It was not in our plans to travel. We had to started tour Trujillo, Chiclayo, Chota, Tacabamba, Cutervo, Cajamarca, but before reaching our final destination, we made a stop in Porcon. There I met an ocational friend who thanks to his influence stayed in a hotel accommodation for a tiny price. This little adventure brought us many memories, we spent it with the family.

As we arrived almost at noon we could only see the farm in one afternoon, it was quite cold memory so we have to leave very early the next day. We were about finish our tour so we headed for our destination.

On the road I could see an orange bridge, I asked where that detour was going, they told me it was an alternate road to the one I already know. I kept the idea of going around. So very soon I’ll be travelling. Next to Google maps.
In summary, the Local guides program is important to me. Since according to the information provided I have been able to have important information before being on site.
