Peru: Day 8, The Day Is Finally Here! 🇵🇪✨
For so many travelers, visiting Machu Picchu is the ultimate dream. But what truly takes them by surprise? Everything leading up to it!
From the vibrant streets of Cusco, where history and culture come alive, to the breathtaking views along the Sacred Valley, every step of the journey is filled with awe. The misty cloud forests, the ancient ruins scattered along Inca trails, and the endless panoramas that make you stop and just breathe it all in—Peru has a way of stealing the show before you even reach its most famous wonder.
And today, the day is finally here! Standing on the brink of history, looking at the Lost City of the Incas, I can’t help but feel that the journey itself was just (perhaps more?) as magical as the destination.
Who else has been completely blown away by Peru before even stepping foot in Machu Picchu? Share your favorite moments! ⛰️💫 #MachuPicchu #SacredValley #PeruMagic
🇵🇪 Peru Day 7: The journey continues! As we say goodbye to our new friends and campsite in a remote village, we make our way through jaw-dropping vistas of 20k ft mountains and board a train for the start of our trek to Machu Picchu.

We make our way through lush lands and over small foot bridges to our final campsite. After playing soccer with the locals, we give the local delicacy, cuy, a try before celebrating our accomplishments around the warm fire.
