“And our class system is oppressive and violent and harms a lot of people of all races. It should be addressed. It should be torn down. But the same hammer won’t tear down all the walls. What keeps a poor child in Appalachia poor is not what keeps a poor child in Chicago poor-even if from a distance, the outcomes look the same.” -Ijeoma Oluo

Peru, South America

I have to be honest with you all: Peru was an opportunistic trip rather than a bucket list item for me. When I found a cheap flight to South America, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. But when I arrived, I quickly became enamored with this country, its culture and sacred mountains. I spent the first part of my trip in the mountain town of Huaraz, nestled high above the sea at the base of the Cordillera Blanca. From the town itself, I caught glimpses of the surrounding glaciers and Mount Huascaran. I spent a week hiking and backpacking in Huascaran National Park, meeting an incredible Swiss couple to do the Santa Cruz trek with. I climbed higher than I’ve ever gone before and caught glimpses of heaven with each difficult summit. I quickly came to crave the mountain views and spent the rest of my trip seeking refuge in the sacred mountains of Peru.

The wind seems to sweep down the side of the glacier, bringing the cold temperatures of the rocky peaks. It instantly chills my sweaty back, but the sun warms my face and will soon dry my shirt. I’m sitting on a grassy hillside, watching a never-ending train of mules carry their load up the rocky path. At the Punta Unión, 4750m above sea level (15,584ft), the view surrounds and engulfs me. Glaciers cascade down the mountain to the bluest of lakes; it takes my breath away! Or maybe it’s just the altitude... A landscape like this really puts you in your place, I kept thinking to myself on the way up. And it’s true, I am truly reminded today how small I am in the scope of it all and how infinitely big God is to have created such a landscape.

One of the most intense mountains I encountered on my trip was Volcan Chachani, an unprecedented 6057m (19872ft) above sea level. Our sunrise summit was freezing cold with little oxygen for my desperate muscles, but it was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever endured. My last week in Peru was spent in Cuzco, where I did even more tromping around in the mountains. I was even lucky enough to encounter the Savage Mountain (Salkantay) on our five day trek to the ancient city of Machu Picchu. And yet it was Gabino, the camp chef that traveled with us, who I found most endearing and memorable. The Peruvians I encountered were extremely hospitable, with lots of well-founded pride for their country and respect for mother nature.

Needless to say, the mountains of Peru made a lasting impression on me and left me absolutely desperate for more. The warm and welcoming Peruvian culture was a stark contrast to the isolated, cold peaks, and I left Peru already anxious to return.

13 Best Things to do in Peru

In South America, discover a fascinating destination that speaks to travelers' imaginations: Peru!  A true land of contrasts, Peru reveals panoramas as enchanting as they are varied, from the sand dunes to the snow-capped mountains of the Andes Cordilleras, passing through the verdant jungle of the Amazon. We love traveling through Peru.  The landscapes, the people and the history all combine to give the traveler an incredible experience.  Imagine climbing the mountain behind Machu Picchu and then heading down the Amazon in a dug-out canoe.  You can do all of this and more.  Here are the 13 best things to do in Peru.

Sitting on top of Huayna Picchu in Peru looking down on Machu Picchu - Machu Picchu Machu Picchu is one of the new 7 wonders of the world. This major Inca site can be reached by train from Cuzco or Ollantaytambo, thanks to a several-day hike along the Inca Trail, or by an easy walk from Hidroelectrica. Very early in the morning, climb the steps in the mist that dissipates and reach the Porte du Soleil. Here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of these majestic ruins. The emotion is guaranteed! The most interesting thing will be to visit the ascent of Huayna Picchu mountain to discover the site from another angle.   - Vinikunka Colorful Mountain Those who come to visit Peru to discover its fantastic landscapes will make a detour to the Vinikunka mountain, also nicknamed "the mountain of seven colors." Admittedly, the trek requires being in good physical shape and not suffering from altitude sickness, but the sight on arrival is really worth it. The amazed travellers discover a fabulous, variegated picture, resulting from the accumulated sediments of different colors in the rock.   - Caral Caral is the oldest city on the American continent. Its huge complex was built almost 5,000 years ago, including amphitheaters, pyramids and other adobe structures. You can be reached there in a day from Lima. Treat yourself to the services of a guide to learn more about the Caral civilization.   - Huascaran National Park At the heart of the Cordillera Blanca, Huascaran National Park has been classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. It is dominated by the mountain of the same name, the highest in Peru, and has an incredible number of glaciers, lagoons, canyons and other high peaks. It thus offers a range of outdoor activities for everyone, from hiking to horseback riding, skiing or mountaineering.   - Lagoon 69 Lagoon 69 is yet another interesting destination in Peru, where you can reach Huaraz in one day. By public transport or by car chartered by a local agency, you reach Lake Llanganuco, nestled in the heart of Huascaran National Park. It is a 3-hours trail which is easy in the beginning, then it gradually steepens, but the bewitching landscapes will divert your attention. Upon arrival, you discover a lagoon with turquoise waters, bordered by high snow-capped peaks.   - Cusco It is impossible to visit Peru without passing through the city of Cuzco, the starting point for a host of Inca sites in the surrounding area, which alone is worth the detour. Perched at nearly 3,400 meters above sea level, in the heart of green mountains, it is home to many architectural and historical marvels. The first stop is the Place d'Armes, the actual nerve center of Cuzco where the inhabitants like to meet, and which is bordered by the Church of the Society of Jesus.    - Lake Titicaca Straddling Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, covers 8,000 square kilometers. Yes, the place is tourist, and worth the detour if you decide to visit Peru. Criss-crossing this immense expanse of water is already a journey in itself, but the lake is also full of a thousand wonders having the Uras floating islands and the village of the community of Paramus, where time seems to have stopped.   - Colca Canyon 3,400 meters deep, the Colca Canyon reveals enchanting landscapes, from terraced crops to typical villages, passing through lagoons and watchtowers. Stop at the Croix de Condor, which offers a breathtaking view of the valley below and from which you may be lucky enough to admire the unsteady flight of the raptors of the same name.  

The drive to the salt pans of the Maras in Peru is almost as memorable as the Maras themselves - The Salt Pans of Maras Famous Attraction to amateur photographers, the salt pans of Maras are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful landscapes in Peru. Located about fifty kilometers from Cuzco, in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, these ancient salt marshes built on terraces form the most photogenic shades of yellow. Here you can book a guided tour, and they allow you to exchange a few words with the peasants who harvest the salt.   - The Beaches of Punta Sal Visiting Peru to relax on the beaches is possible! All you have to do is reach the village of Punta Sal, in the north of the country, which nestles with its feet in the sand, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. You can Sunbathe on the bamboo lounge chairs, swim in the waves and taste freshly caught fish. In the evening, do not forget to watch the sunset while sipping coconut water.   - The Cataract of Gocta The bucolic atmosphere for this next destination in Peru. Falling from a height of 771 meters, the cataract of Gocta, in the north of the country, deserves a stop. We walk in the heart of a luxuriant jungle where orchids flourish before reaching a watchtower, from where we contemplate the fabulous waterfall.   - Lima Those who plan to visit Peru often arrive in Lima, the country's capital. A former colonial city, it has a certain charm, and we like to stroll along its colorful streets, discovering its cultural heritage. Look up, the wooden balconies are one of the attractions of Lima! Enjoy a relaxing break in the interior garden of the Church of Santo Domingo before heading to the central market, where you will learn about the treasures of Peruvian gastronomy.   - The Sacred Valley of the Incas With a tourist ticket, you can visit one of the most beautiful places in Peru, the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Enameled with archaeological remains, it offers several outdoor activities and treks for lovers of nature and old stones. Sacsayhuaman (nicknamed “sexy woman” by guides to make tourists laugh), with its perfectly interlocking blocks of stone, Moray and its terraces in concentric circles and Ollantaytambo, with its ancient, cobbled streets, are worth a detour.

  Our Final Word

Peru is an incredible destination to travel, explore and discover.  Follow in the footsteps of Hiram Bingham thought to be the inspiration of Indiana Jones in Machu Picchu, or head down the Amazon and experience creatures only found in that part of the world.  Leave the first world and modern electronics behind and discover why Peru tops Kati and I's top 10 destinations in the world.   Places mapped by Wanderlog, an itinerary planner on iOS and Android
