South Peru 2016

We had amazing time.  People were nice and helpful, travel was easy on our own. We covered a lot of ground from Pacific coast  to  high  Andes. Good hiking and of course important insight into Peruvian and Inca culture. We plan to return one day to visit the North. Machu Picchu was in one of our first posts on our The Wandering Spot website inaugurated on March 22, 2017.
