Tara’s Staff Itinerary Pick: An Active Take on Visiting Machu Picchu + The Sacred Valley in Peru
I’ll never forget my first time in Peru.

I fell into a deep sleep as we made our way down the coastline from the more humid and tropical climate of Ecuador to the low-lying desert outside of Lima on the way to visiting Machu Picchu.

We made our way to the southern Andean highlands and I felt as if I had stepped into the pages of National Geographic.
