Machu Picchu, OllantayTambo, and Cusco (Part 1)
This trip was my first to the southern hemisphere, and it did not disappoint! Our schedule was swift but we still managed to see so many interesting and fun things in Peru. I can’t wait to go back, there was so much more in South America I must see! This video covers our voyage to and from Machu Picchu, as well as various places around Cusco. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this trip in the amazon jungle.
Amazon Planet – Madre De Dios , Puerto Maldonado (Part 2)
Visiting the jungle was a stark contrast from the high desert I have called home my whole life, it was unlike any place I have ever experienced before! The diversity of flora and fauna were astounding, and there was so much water. It was so hot, humid, and incredibly beautiful! We lucked out on perfect weather, even in the rainy season. This is a place I look forward to seeing again!
Our hosts, Amazon Planet, were exceptional and so full of knowledge. Mad props to our guide Ronell for teaching the group about everything surrounding us and taking a pro-active approach to preserving the life and plants native to the amazon. The animals you see in the video are being rehabilitated for re-entry into the wild, and the staff works hard to educate locals of sound procedures for preserving the forest. By staying with Amazon Planet a portion of your bill fund the animal reserve, so if you are interested in traveling to this area of the world, they are a worthy lodge with excellent expeditions, delicious local food, and a staff only looking to please.
