Peru > Roxie's Perfect Escape in Peru

This Peru trip is going to blow your mind! Every day brings a new thrill. Chill with sea lions and spot playful penguins on the Ballestas Islands boat tour. Race across towering dunes in Huacachina on dune buggies and try your hand at sandboarding. After all that, fly to Cusco and dive deep into Incan history with visits to the awe-inspiring Sacsayhuaman Fortress, the colorful San Pedro Market, and the artistic San Blas neighborhood. Then, get ready for the ultimate highlight — a guided tour of Machu Picchu, where you’ll explore the mysterious Lost City of the Incas, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. To top it off, there’s an unforgettable hike to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley, where the vibrant mineral layers paint the landscape in surreal colors. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and stunning scenery, and I can’t wait to share this wild, beautiful journey with everyone!
