I have loved Peru since my first visit in 2013.
Coming to Peru and only seeing Machu Picchu is like going to France and only seeing the Eiffel Tower.
Yes, Machu Picchu is amazing but it’s not the only amazing thing in Peru. These blogs will help you plan a trip to Peru that includes beautiful places, delicious cuisine, fascinating cultural celebrations and time to experience how warm and friendly Peruvians are.

Huchuy Q’osqo
The Inca ruins at Huchuy Q’osqo are beautifully preserved, easy to get to and never have the crowds of more well known archeological sites in the Sacred Valley.
Paracas & Islas Ballestas
A short trip to Paracas is perfect for both the National Paracas Reserve and the Islas Ballestas. You can see it all in a weekend!
Lares Valley Trek
This trek gave me my first intimate visit to traditional Andean homes in a spectacular mountain valley.
Manu, the Peruvian Amazon
Manu National Park, or Manu Biosphere Reserve, is a giant area of Peru’s Amazonian jungle.
The Inca Trail
My two opportunities to hike the 4 day Classic Inca Trail left me in awe of the amazing architectural feats accomplished during the Incario.
Cusco to Colca Canyon
Cusco is the most charming city, but it’s worth going to see the other cities in the area. Arequipa is beautiful and the Colca Canyon is another must-see.
Salkantay to Machu Picchu
The Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu goes from glaciers to tropical jungle.
