PERU

Hiking into Machu Picchu as the sun is coming up through the Gate of the Sun (Intipuncu) is a magical experience you will never forget. Peru is full of history, steep mountains, and a vast jungle of the Amazon! Its many Inca ruins, churches, and cities all bring you back to an ancient time. Whether you want to hike along the Inca Trail over the jagged peaks of the Andes, check out the local markets of Cusco and take the train into Machu Picchu, or trek through the Amazon among 200 foot trees and wildlife, you will not be disappointed by the sites of this ancient world. If you prefer to pass on the hiking and prefer to take a train into Machu Picchu instead, you can relax at Cusco’s most luxurious hotel  that used to be an ancient palace and seminary dating back to the 1500s (one of my favorite hotels in the world!). Here, at Hotel Monasterio, you can enjoy the history of Peru through cooking classes and horse rides. 

But let’s not forget that Peru is also full of great South American cuisine! I can’t get enough ceviche or Pisco sours! If you want to explore the food scene, the Miraflores district of Lima or the fabulous little hidden restaurants of Cuzco will not disappoint!
