Journey to the Amazon Jungle

November 20th, 2018admin0 Comments

When it comes to travel or even thinking about where to go next, few think to consider the Amazon Jungle.

It's almost unbelievable to think that you have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of such a different and intriguing part of the world that we live in.

My Journey to Machu Picchu: The Inca Trail diaries

November 19th, 2018admin0 Comments

We’ve all heard that famous saying “It’s not about the destination, it's the journey.” Well, I would say that when it comes to the Inca Trail, it’s most definitely about both!

October 11th, 2018admin0 Comments

Peruvian cuisine might not be on the map in the same way as some of its Latin American neighbours, things are set to change and there’s a lot to shout about. It has a strong identity, whilst empanadas might be Latin American thoroughfare Peruvian dishes are uniquely Peruvian and brilliantly diverse. Not surprising when you consider that Peru has 30 microclimates ranging over the Sechura Desert into the Andes and onto the Amazon jungle.
