Sharing photos from my trip to Peru.

peru was breath-taking. and you don’t need a visa ! such a culturally-rich country and severely underrated for filipino travelers. i highly recommend adding peru to your travel list

slide 1: machu picchu slide 2-3: in lima, peru slide 4: candelabro de paracas, a 600ft prehistoric geoglyph with unknown origins. according to locals, to this day no one knows why and when it was made. slide 5: peruvian ceviche slide 6-7: ica, huacachina. an oasis in the middle of a desert. slide 8-10: in the most beautiful city i have ever lied eyes on: CUSCO. a city high up in the mountains around 11,000ft above sea level, i had to acclimate to the altitude. i think the oxygen levels were below 20%. even the simple action of climbing one flight of stairs would make us run out of breath. at one point i even threw up from altitude sickness tapos mga kasama ko had headaches. it was all worth it though ! slide 11-13: ollantaytambo. honestly my favorite out of all the places i visited slide 14: the walls inside machu picchu overlooking the andean mountain range slide 15: slabs of rock cut by the inca empire. they are so well placed you couldn’t even stick a needle in between them. a true testament to the advancement of the inca empire. unfortunately 97% of their population across south america were wiped out by colonizers. slide 16: alpacas and llamas EVERYWHERE !! slide 17: traditional peruvian dish called “cuy”. it is fried guinea pig.

if you’re visiting peru soon, i suggest getting guided tours as the locals have SO much to say about their history and culture.

only downside to this country in my opinion is their food. not really too fond of it !
