Peru is one of the most popular destinations in South America, owing to the fact that it’s home to the bucket-list favorite and Wonder of the World Machu Picchu. Around 500,000 people visit the ancient Incan citadel each year — a number that would be much higher if it wasn’t for the mandates put in...

Peru is one of the best places I have ever visited (and that’s saying something). I loved every moment (this blog post goes into more detail why).
