1.5 year anniversary = a week in Peru, Part 2

12 Oct

In order to get this published and also due to the fact my year-old memory is pretty fuzzy, I’m just going to do this Part 2 in photos. And I don’t have many. Sorry!

After we left Lima we spent what little time we had left bouncing by a few of my highlights on the way south to Cuzco. We went up into the mountains first to visit Ayacucho where we went on a search for the elusive vicuna. We found them and a couple of guys super confused as to why we got off a bus in the middle of nowhere to look at a purple river from afar.

Then we visited Huacachina to climb sand dunes and look at a green lake while crazy sand boogies raced around pretty dangerously.

And lastly we stopped in Nazca to view some impressive native trails and patterns. Seriously. That place is awesomely weird. Stop by some time.

Then H left to go back to work, and I shuttled on to meet my good friend in Cuzco to hike some Machu Pichu!!!
