Peru Travel Photo Collection

Our Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca Adventure: Nothing prepares you for Machu Picchu, not pictures, descriptions, or words. Going to Machu Picchu has been a dream of mine for many years. Although I\'d read about the amazing accomplishments, the actual trip, with a fantastic guide whose name is Marco, brought this journey to life and gave it its due. This is a magnificent country, with vistas that defy imagination.

These photos document my journey and experiences in Peru, through it\'s people, culture, and extraordinary history.

My philosophy has always been that life is too short to do things you don’t enjoy, and too short to be missing out on doing things you do want to do. That is why I built my business in the way I did – so that it would free me up to do what I want to do. Our Brazil and Peru tours were interesting - but huge. Everytime we went to a new place, it was a full day’s traveling.

My Dream Trip to Machu Picchu: After months of planning and years of dreaming, my grandson, Zed, and I left the Austin airport around noon on Monday, July 12th, for Peru. It was a wonderful trip with no disappointments. Now, where am I going next?

From the highs of Cusco to the depths of the jungle, this trip was one of the best of my entire life.

The Greenberg family decided to give back to the area they were visiting in Peru. They participated in a home restoration Volunteer Service Project in Cachicatta community. They continued their tour on the Salcantay Trek where they ended on the Inca Trail at Machu Picchu ruins.

My friend Margy and I embarked on our first trip together. We loved Peru and had a great time in the Galapagos!

This is sometimes the first meal of the day for the children and is especially important, as many of them have to walk for over an hour a day to get to school. This is often after they have had to help their parents feed the animals and look after their younger siblings.

Magical Peru, we\'ve always wanted to go, but with work restrictions, we could never fit into a group tour. After comparing every tour available by other tour groups we managed to turn this tour into a private trip with Adventure Life. Let the fun begin!

My Bolivia travels included a handful of days in culture-rich La Paz, followed by a trip to the Salt Desert and shores of Lake Titicaca. The landscape was inspiring, but I was overwhelmed by the inviting people of Bolivia who welcomed me into their country. A great trip; already planning on a return visit -- soon!

Located in northern Peru, the fortress at Kuelap ruins was built by the Chachapoyas tribe. Here you will see only a few visitors per week due to the four hour trek through the Andes to arrive at the ruins. From below, you wouldn\'t know what lies on the top of this ridge because it is completely invisible.

Adventures in Peru -- birthday cake on the Inca Trail, visiting children at the Mantay Shelter, celebrations in the Cusco plaza, and making Dead Woman\'s Pass at 3 month\'s pregnant? I don\'t think we\'ll ever be able to top this trip.

An account of how we fell in love with Peru, and in the process, also fell back in love with each other.
