I had the most magical, incredible, sacred, fantastic bucket-list trip to Peru in May. It was so far above and beyond my expectations that I truly don’t have words in the English language to convey my feelings about this trip and the incredible country, landscape, people, culture, and cuisine that is Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a very small sample of photos from my trip. I just finished creating a separate Peru 2026 page<\/a>. Note: There are a lot of photos on the Peru 2026 page, but it’s worth waiting for the photos to load!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to thank, with every ounce of gratitude and joy that my heart can hold, the following people for making this such a sacred and beautiful journey for me and the others in our group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~ Paula <\/strong>and Maya <\/strong>from Sol Health Yoga<\/a> – you are both truly beautiful beings, and I’m beyond grateful for having gotten to know you and spend this magical time with you. For everyone in our group, it was an honor to be on this journey with you.
~ Valerio and others<\/strong> from Runa Nan Travel<\/a> – There is literally not a better guide in the country! Thank you for sharing your culture, customs and wisdom with us. Thank you for holding space for each one of us in such a beautiful way.
~ Samadhi Sacred Valley<\/a> – One of the most beautiful places in the world, you welcomed us and opened your hearts to us as strangers, and we left as family. And thank you for nourishing us with the most exquisite food!
~ Martin <\/strong>at Crown Transportation<\/a> – Thank you for your wonderful sense of humor and explanations while getting us to our adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
