In June 2024 Francisco and I took the opportunity to travel to Peru. We saw a ton of cool stuff in two weeks. We lived the city life in Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and Iquitos. We camped for 3 days and 2 nights in the wildly spectacular Peruvian Amazon. We hiked down into very deep Colca Canyon (the Grand Canyon of South America!) and stayed in the very beautiful Sangalle Oasis. We explored world famous Macchu Pichu. On top of all that Francicso visited the Huacachina Oasis in the desert Ica region and climbed Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain) in the Andes.
