If someone were visiting Peru what are a few of the places they must go to?
My favorite trip in Peru was to the Amazon jungle. I also enjoyed my trip to Vilca and Huancaya, magical places in the mountains were you can see very fantastic views of the nature like many blue ponds, blue magical sky, beautiful green nature, woods with lakes, big mountains…. it’s the best place i have ever been. It’s a little cold and high.
Other places someone must go in Peru are:
- Barranco – for a nice walk, to see the street ocean, and maybe to eat some Peruvian food.
- Visit La Punta Callao to see the Puerto, walk through the street and see the old houses parks and beautiful views of the peninsula.
- Machu Pichu – Cuzco
- Paracas – to see the beach and take in the view and visit the island.
- Mancora – Las Pocitas, is a relaxing beach were you can rent a cheap house with a group of friends also the house come with a lady that cook really good.
If you like adventure, you can hike near Lima there are groups for trekking that takes you to walk through the mountains for 1, 2 or 3 days the group’s name is Aire Puro. I used to hike and remember a 4 day trekking at Huaraz, cold but with really beautiful views like the big Cordillera Blanca and Black Cordillera, the beautiful blue sky and ponds, also there is the Callejon the Huaylas were their culture and food is really good.
If you could visit any place in the world where would you go?
The country I would love to travel is Thailand, I would love to learn about their culture, food, people, religion, etc. For me that’s the next country I must visit.
What should people know about Peruvians?
What I love about Peruvians is that we love when a tourist come to visit us and learn about our culture. Usually we are really friendly.
