The ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is an awe-inspiring sight to behold and the perfect destination for anyone searching for adventure. This sacred Inca city, perched high in the mountains of Peru, was re-discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham III, who famously described it as a ‘miracle of historic preservation.’ 

While hiking up to visit this ancient site has become a rite of passage for many, there are easier ways to get up the mountain. We highly recommend taking the Peru Rail. Be sure to check out our blog post on Machu Picchu.  

Planning our trip to Machu Picchu became one of the most overwhelming parts of planning. Although a must-do when visiting the magical country of Peru.

Delicious food in Cusco Peru

The delicious food, including ceviche, quinoa, and alpaca steak

In Peru, you’ll find some of the most delicious cuisines in the world. A visit to any kitchen will result in a mouthwatering selection of ceviche, quinoa, and even alpaca steak! Ceviche is made with raw fish “cooked” with citrus juice, onions, garlic, and chili peppers—and it is truly a taste sensation.

Quinoa, sometimes called “the mother grain” of the Andes because it was one of the main staples for centuries, is versatile and absolutely delicious. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try alpaca steak! It may not look like a typical steak, but its flavor makes up for its lack of appearance—it’s delicious beyond belief.

Peru really has something for every palate when it comes to food.
