Peruvian Preview

We are finalizing our trip planning and I am getting really excited for my first South American trip! Take a peek at what we are planning...


On August 29th, we fly to Lima for brief overnight stay and then fly out to Arequipa the next morning. In Arequipa we are staying at the adorable Casa Arequipa B & B for two nights while exploring all the local sights, restaurants and cultures of Peru's "White City", the county's second largest.

From there we fly in to
Cusco, elevation11,000 feet, to tour historic buildings and enormous Catholic churches built on Inca ruins, view Incan art, and try new culinary adventures such as cuy (roasted Guinea pig) and ceviche. Did I mention you can get an hour long massage for $15?


After two nights at the Hotel Rumi Punku in Cusco, we will trek to Machu Picchu

The rest of our trip will be in the Sacred Valley for some R&R and Ross & Yesika's wedding at our resort, Aranwa Hotel Spa just outside of Urumbamba. We fly home on Sept 7th, perhaps with an appreciation for pisco sour?

Want to come along?
