I've been honored to go to numerous wonderful and motivating spots on the planet, and dependably, I leave away with a more profound thankfulness for the way of life, the general population, and the earth. Knowing this, Peru was first on my rundown of dream goals. For quite a long time I'd heard and perused about Machu Picchu and needed experience it myself. My chance came when I was made a request to lead a Peru trip.
Since returning, individuals ask me.... "In this way, how was Peru?" "Educate me regarding Machu Picchu." Words don't effortlessly come to express the experience. Some of the time a place has the ability to move you significantly to transform you from the back to front. Peru is such a place.
So my reaction to their inquiry as a rule goes something like this: Together, 18 unprecedented ladies trekked through Peru via plane, transport, watercraft and prepare. We investigated the magnificence and history of the capital city of Lima, and the impact of Spanish run over Peru's antiquated societies. We went by beguiling Cusco, otherwise called the Navel of the World... the focal point of the Inca Empire with its progressed water powered building, horticultural procedures, magnificent engineering, materials, earthenware production and ironworks. The wonderfulness of the Sacred Valley of the Andes Mountains inspired every one of us. We encountered the excite of boating the rapids of the Urubamba River.
In the wake of venturing out south to Lake Titicaca, the world's most astounding traversable lake at 12,500 feet above ocean level, we strolled on the man-made drifting islands of Uros, made from stick where families in reality live. Taquille Island resembles landing on a Mediterranean island, hot daylight, blue lake, fascinating blooms, warm, interesting individuals. We found pisco sours, amazing cooking... we looked for our excellent child alpaca endowments and hand made fortunes made by these wonderful Peruvian individuals. This was our impeccable schedule. Some of my fondest recollections are of the mind blowing ladies I went with, who felt more like old companions than new travel partners.
More than anything however, I'll recall... Machu Picchu. In the majority of my voyages, this is the most amazing spot I have ever gone to. I'd seen every one of the photos, examined the Inca history, yet nothing readied me for the enchantment and vitality of this place.
The day after our guided gathering voyage through Machu Picchu, a large portion of us emerged in the small hours of the morning to backpedal and invest energy alone among the antiquated remnants. In one of those valuable, unique minutes, I watched the sun peak, moving fog and shadows to uncover the consecrated and baffling city of Machu Picchu. What is reality of this enchanted place, and what is legend? What was its motivation? How did the Incas make such flawlessness? Of course, why?
Months after the fact, Machu Picchu keeps on moving me from the back to front. I'll continue posing the inquiries and see what I find. Maybe I may require another trek back to Peru for assist investigation!
