If you have the physical ability and time, I highly highly recommend getting out of your comfort zone. The adventurous four day hike to Machu Picchu is one you’ll always remember.
One of the most highly traffic tourist areas of Peru is the Sacred Valley which lays between Cusco and Machu Picchu. I spent half a day in Cusco and an entire day touring the Sacred Valley by bus.
The waterfront was just a few blocks from the hotel, so naturally this was the first part of Lima I explored.
South America is rich with history and culture. Peru has a history dating back to 3,000 years B.C. and does not just include the Inca Empire.
It might seem insane to her but the Inca Trail is no stranger to backpackers. Thousands of people a year head to Peru to do the exact same thing I am doing.
I am so excited for all 2019 has to hold, and to share all of my travels with everyone! My big trip of the year is approaching quickly; in May I will travel from Houston to Peru for 8 days!
