Wrapped up the trip to Per with a stop in and then 2 days in Lima. Lima was good to see but it’s not one of my top cities in the world. Great food but I didn’t find Lima overly good looking as a city.

Getting to Macchu Pichu is a commitment. You need a plane to Lima, then a plane to Cusco, then a car ride to a place called Ollantaytambo, then a train to Aguas Clients, then bus up to Macchu Pichu. Prepare yourself.

After 2 nights in Arequipa we headed further inland and higher into the mountains over to Cusco. Check out the crazy hotel pods clinging to the side of the mountain.

For years I’ve planned to check out Peru and family made it. Here are some shots from Arequipa, the first city we hit on the trip.
