So we’re off the train and this marks the start of the Inca Trail.
So I guess we should explain that we aren’t doing the traditional Inca trail. Normally you can do a four day walk or a 10 day walk. We’re actually only doing a two day walk. We’re not really lazy it is just kind of how it happened. Come on we are. Maybe, maybe just a little bit. We crave our comfort. So basically we’re going to be hiking for a full day and then we’re going to get to our Aguas Calientes and stay in a hotel. We’re not staying in tents. And then the following day we’ll be touring Machu Picchu with a guide and like learning the history of the place. So I guess really it is only one day walking the Inca Trail but we’re going to say two to feel a little better about ourselves.
So within five minutes of walking we’ve already reached our first Inca site.
Machu Picchu! Machu Picchu! We made it. How are you feeling? I know. After that long hike. It is amazing. And we’re so lucky to have views like this because apparently it was raining for three days before we did this hike. I know. And we have sunshine and blue skies and the lost city is waiting for us. Just over there.
Going for the Llama selfie.
We’re going to be trying some traditional food from Cusco.
So we are taking a really fun overnight trip from Puno today to visit Lake Titicaca. Yeah, we’re going to visit several islands and do a homestay overnight. Yeah, and we’ll get to meet the different communities that live here because we have Aymara people and Quechua people.
Many travelers to Peru tend to skip over Lima as they rush off to more scenic destinations, but we’re of the opinion that the capital has a lot to offer. As one of the largest cities in South America, Lima can be a little chaotic and crowded, but it is also full of surprises, especially in terms of culinary experiences and historic attractions. In this travel video guide, we’re going to take you on a tour of the city and show you 30 things to do in Lima, Peru. Now let’s get started!
After spending some time in Lima, we flew into Iquitos for the final leg of our Peruvian adventure. The landscape changed from arid deserts to mountains and finally to jungle as our flight crossed the country, and once we arrived, the first thing we did was hop into a tuk-tuk to take us into the city.
So we have made it to Iquitos.
Hello from the shores of the Amazon river. This is a pretty cool place to be wouldn’t you say? Yeah, this is a bucketlist item for us definitely. So we are currently cruising down the Amazon with Rainforest Cruises. We’re going to be spending four days and three nights aboard the Delfin number one.
