One of the best experiences I’ve ever had is going to Machu Picchu, Perú. High up in a mountain you’ll find an ancient native city, with one of the most charming views in the whole world. Should you like hiking, you can always do the so called “Camino del Inca” and spend several days to get there. If not, you can just take a beautiful train. Not only you have this mesmerising unique place but you’ll also get to taste Peruvian cuisine, one of the best in the world. Why miss it? #peru #machupicchu #southamerica #latinamerica #ancient #mountain

#2024wish Trekking in Peru has always been on top of my list. Being a mountain and nature lover, the Andes are a dream for all of those who love adventure and want to detach from the everyday noice and connect with the peaceful sounds of nature. My husband and I had the privilege of spending one month in Peru, hiking, climbing and sightseeing. The highlight for us was an 8 day trek in the Cordillera Huayhuash. The scenery is truly and literally breathtaking as you find yourself trekking above 3,000m above sea level most of the time, and you can reach 5,200 m on some of the days. Sleeping under a bed of stars and camping in the wild was special. It was worth not having a shower and smelling rotten for 8 days 😂, and would do it all over again! My #2024wish is to visit and hike in China. #Huayhuash #treking #travel #peru #southamerica #lima #Travelperu

#summerdestinations ⛵️Nestled on the shores of Lake Titicaca, Copacabana is a charming Bolivian town renowned for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture. The clear blue waters of the lake, combined with the dramatic backdrop of the Andes, create a picturesque setting that is perfect for both relaxation and exploration. 🚍To reach Copacabana from La Paz, take a bus for about $10 to $15 USD, with a journey time of 4 to 5 hours. 🧣Dress warmly and stay hydrated to adjust to the high altitude. We visited during the summer and it still got a bit chilly! #tripmoments 🛌Accommodation ranges from $20 to $150 USD per night, with local dining costing $5 to $15 USD per meal. Copacabana offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural experiences. 🥾Hike the island’s scenic trails and immerse yourself in the rich history and spiritual significance of the area. ⛪️ Also, explore the town’s Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana, which houses the revered Virgen de la Candelaria. ⏰How long to stay? It’s up to you, but because the town is small, I recommend staying two days and also visit and stay in Isla del Sol, a beautiful island with a wonderful view of the Lake. #bolivia #Titicaca #copacabana #southamerica #summerdream #bucketlist #exploringtheworld

These are photos I took standing on the equator that runs through a village just north of Quito, the capital of Ecuador. It was an amazing experience being in the middle of the world. I never thought the weather can be rather cold when on the equator but since the city is in the middle of the Andes mountains, it makes sense. #ecuador #quito #equator #middleoftheworld #mitaddelmundo #fun #travel #vacation #nomad #holiday #southamerica #andesmountains

Machu Picchu, one of seven New Wonders of the World and undoubtedly Perù's number one tourist attraction. The UNESCO World Heritage site is also very desirable to the new generation of bloggers, podcasters or those just wanting 'that picture,' you know the elevated picture that covers the entire site without anyone photo-bombing or otherwise interfering with the shot. The most famous home of the Inca's meant even more to us than a picture to impress your friends. The 7th Wonder of the world was just that, the last one standing - we had been to all of the rest and after a couple of false starts we were on our way. After a train ride through the Andes that was priceless in itself - followed by an adrenaline filled bus ride on a track not much wider than the bus, we arrived at the entrance. Touching distance, but hold your horses another couple hundred steps on foot, and breathe. All of the superlatives used to describe Machu Picchu are correct. Most of the site is original and untouched since the sixteenth century when it was abandoned until 1911. The walls and terraces gives us a view into the past and into a culture that once thrived. Keen Astromers, Mathematicians and Engineers the Inca's literally built a city of stone in the sky that we can all enjoy five hundred years later. Awesome seems a feeble understatement when used in the same sentence as Machu Picchu, it was simply brilliant. #machupicchu #southamerica #mountains
