Posted December 31, 2017 UPTPosted in Cultural Exchange

  Someone posted on an Expats in Peru group today suggesting that we end the year on a positive note and think of things we enjoy about living in Peru. (This group often seems to be used as a place to vent about what people DON’T like.) As I love living here, and people visiting […]

Posted October 8, 2017October 16, 2017 UPTPosted in Attractions

The main thing that’s new for the 2018 Inca Trail is that permits have already gone on sale, as of October 5th. This is a huge departure from earlier years in which they did not go on sale until the beginning of the year. Each business day will cover successive months until the 17th, when […]

Do You Really Need a Tour Guide in Machu Picchu, Cusco and the Sacred Valley?

Posted December 19, 2016October 16, 2017 UPTPosted in Cultural Exchange

Ok, so I’m biased. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the best guides in the area, so for me the answer is a resounding YES!! But I’ll explain a bit about how it works here, and you can decide for yourself. First of all, something I had no idea of before I […]

Secret Inner Workings of the Classic Inca Trail

Posted December 8, 2016October 16, 2017 UPTPosted in Attractions

Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu: Always and Forever a Pilgrimage

Posted December 1, 2016October 16, 2017 UPTPosted in Destinations

I recently had the chance to hike the Inca Trail again, for the first time in several years. It was a great opportunity to reflect and look at it with new eyes. People are often talking about how packed it is, that there are too many hikers on it, that it doesn’t feel like a […]
