Peruvian Adventures

Colca Canyon
Colca Canyon
I had the opportunity to return to Peru after living there years ago. From the high elevations of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley to the adventurous times exploring the city life and also the rich history that each place has to offer. From archaeological history to possible alien conspiracies, amazing local flavors and having slushies with llamas, Peru is the destination for adventure!

Food and Drink

One of my favorite sayings is: "The best way to get a taste of local flavor is to do so literally." I love eating and drinking my way through a country - it just can’t be beat! My father jokes that after my first trip to Italy, he picked me up from the airport, and I spent the next 6 hours talking solely about the food that I'd …

Soaking it in

All New Heights

I never gave the altitude of Peru much thought. I knew the simple rules: stay hydrated, stay away from alcohol, and take it easy. I also knew I would have trouble with rule #2 - I was in Peru! I needed to make sure I was trying the local flavor! Our first full day in Peru led us from Cusco to Chinchero and the Sacred Valley. Just like that, we …

The Main Event

There is no doubt about it – the majesty of Machu Picchu was the highlight of our trip. I thought perhaps the hype and the general overcrowding of such a high-profile tourist site would turn me off compared to some of the more off-the-beaten-track destinations I loved exploring in other countries. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I got overwhelmed

Machu Picchu!

I am a firm believer in the power of tour guides. I may be a millennial and one who is fine staying in a hostel, wandering down random streets and alleys, even taking the bus to random little towns, but when it comes to cultural ruins, I love to have a guide. Ruins are not as fascinating to all people like they are to me, but there is one thing …

Colca Canyon

Unexpected Highlight

The second highlight of my trip is without a doubt our time spent in Colca Canyon. I knew very little about Colca Canyon prior to our visit. About the only thing I did know was that it most likely was large (I mean you don’t just label anything a canyon), it was often known for hiking, and a bird called the Condor nests there.

Colca Canyon

The infamous Condor Cross was scheduled for our next day, which meant preparing for an early morning. We packed up and headed to breakfast, greeted by the grounds horses out grazing in the sunrise – again, a sight hard to beat.

On our way through the canyon, we made a few stops along some view points, learning more about the canyon and the …

The Monkey Nazca Line

Nazca Lines

The Nazca Lines of Peru are one of the most famous mysteries in the world. They are often featured in shows and documentaries of the ancient world, alien conspiracies and more. They were one sight I was most intrigued about prior to my trip. They were also, in all honesty, the most disappointing part.

The town of Nazca is not near any other city …

City Life

When I speak to travelers about different places to visit or where they should go, I often use the saying: “A city is a city, no matter its country.” Let’s be honest, some people are city people, and some would rather live under a rock anywhere else in the world. To give you a brief insight into some of the different areas of …

We have used AL for decades now to plan trips. Kassandra has been with us from the start and has never disappointed. She knows our family and our quirks and is always willing to fit the trip to us. This time we made her work for the booking because of family member schedules. It has all come together for a great Christmas gift for many families.
