Henry - Sunday


Although the journey was less than enjoyable, our arrival in Peru has left us awe-struck. Our first days in Ollantaytambo, Peru have been filled with bucket list worthy experiences from eating delicious native meals to climbing mountains and witnessing the Incan relics that have been so delicately preserved by the town of Ollantaytambo. The town is a perfect example of the preservation of culture with the adequate amount of modernization; one can live comfortably while still showing the proper respect to the ancient civilizations that once thrived on the same land. When entering the town, one can’t help but to gaze at the wondrous surroundings. The breathtaking mountains create a kind of a barrier that almost seems to capture the town’s natural charm. Travelers are more than welcome as there are more than enough cozy hotels or hostels for one to reside in during their stay. Our stay in Peru so far has been nothing short of amazing in terms of catching a glimpse of a beautiful part of the world that has often gone unrecognized.
