The Peruvian Experience —What I found and brought back
Peru— is a destination that always fascinated me. I spent a long weekend in Lima several years ago and left craving more. My whole weekend in Lima was filled with people talking about the treasures that Peru holds, and their shock that I was in Peru just to visit Lima. Peru is the home of ancient archeological sites, with an incredibly diverse range of cultures. The country stretches from arid regions in the western Pacific coastal areas to the green and luscious Andes mountains. Home to a big chunk of the Amazonian rainforest, Peru has no dearth of native cultures, arts, and crafts.
For 18 days we were amazed by the nature and the excellent food of the Peruvian culture. Their people are just so kind and It's amazing how everyone loves animals there, they even take care of stray dogs.
During our trip, we took a train to Cuzco, we visited the Macchu Pichu which gave me one of the most impressive views I have ever seen. We also visited the Sacred Valley and stayed in a very nice resort: Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel. We took advantage and got to know Pisac, which is an artisan town in the Sacred Valley and it is mainly where I found the products that I have brought.
