Travel Inspiration – Inspired by Peru
I was on the phone with one of my best friends. She had just found out the news that she had been selected to lead a research and development team in Peru for 6 months. After my congratulations I just blurted out, “I’m going to visit you”.
Machu Picchu and the Land of the Incas
Peru was one of those destinations that completely astounded Dave and I.There was no way we were going to miss seeing Machu Picchu and since we only had two weeks in the country, we made a beeline to the star attraction.
Machu Picchu, Peru; Snapshot Sunday
It doesn’t matter how many places you have been before, or how many spectacular sights you have seen, until you step foot on Machu Picchu, you always feel that you are missing something in your repertoire of travels. Machu Piccu didn’t disappoint. It lived up to the hype as one of the great ruins of the world. Perched high in the mountains, this ancient Incan city is a still a mystery today. At 2340 metres (7970 feet) it terraced walls plunge into the deep valleys below. How was this marvel of engineering made? How was a civilizations built high in the mountains and how were these heavy stones moved?
Peru. Checking off More of the Life List before we Kick the Bucket

Now that we have crazy and more extreme ambitions and it is nice to visit places like Victoria Falls or Egypt, where we can tick a bunch items on our “bucket list” in one destination. That was what it was like when we visited Peru.
What to do with 2 Weeks in Peru; Part 1
When you don’t have a lot of time, Peru can be a little overwhelming to try and travel through. It is a vast country with so much to see. Where do you start? Do you go to the Amazon Basin, check out Lake Titicaca in the far south or do you climb Cordillera Huayhuash? Having never been before, we decided to do what the tourists do, since we only had two weeks in Peru. How can we go all the way there, and not see Machu Picchu? It would be like missing the Pyramids while in Egypt.
