“Machu Picchu was the highlight of my
recent trip to Peru. I have wanted to go ever since I did a project on it in
school, almost 25 years ago. Watching the clouds part and reveal the ancient
city was so surreal—it was a moment I will never forget .”
Mysterious. Exciting. Colorful. From enigmatic Machu Picchu,
to the steamy wilderness of the Amazon jungle and on to the vibrant arts scene
of Lima, Peru offers a cornucopia of diverse cultures and landscapes ripe for
exploration.
“Clients would
tell me that hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is nothing short of
mystical,” says Lisa MacIver, Maritime
Travel Advisor, Park Lane, Halifax, NS. “I had Peru on my bucket list for
years, so now, having finally experienced it for myself, I can only say it was
the trip of a lifetime. It truly is a beautiful country.”
Highlights
of a typical Peruvian adventure include both jungle walks and city strolls.
“Lima was not at all what I expected,” says Lisa. “It has such a vibrant arts
scene and a really unique vibe. The opportunity to spend a few days in the
Amazon was also an unforgettable experience and one I highly recommend,” she
says. “Just imagine: no power, no wifi, just the sounds of the jungle and the
quiet conversations among your travelling companions.”
To
get the most out of your Peru adventure, Lisa recommends that clients be
prepared for some fairly vigorous hiking—especially if you plan on visiting
Machu Picchu. “I would recommend this trip to active clients who are into both
adventure and history. It’s a hard climb to Machu Picchu, but absolutely worth
it!”
