Peru, Presented by Paul Steinbok

Paul and his wife, Edie, went to Peru in 2016 with the major objective of visiting Machu Picchu. After a brief stay in Lima, they flew to Arequipa in the Andean foothills to start their acclimatization to high altitude. They then travelled by car North across the high Andes to Colca canyon, where they experienced condors. From there they traversed the Andean highlands going East to Puno and Lake Titicaca. After touring Lake Titicaca, they boarded the Andean Explorer train in Puno en route to their final destination, Cusco. This culminated in visits to Machu Picchu, where they both climbed the “stairs of death’ to the top of Wayna Picchu.
