My dream of visiting Peru
Maybe you remember back in April 2012 when I wrote about how it was easier not to plan much in Bolivia. At least I remember it very clearly as it was just yesterday. After visiting one of my favorite places on Earth for 3 days, Uyuni salt flat, I got very sick and the altitude in the mountains just did not help it at all. It was just a few days before I was supposed to be visiting Peru.
Peru was always on top of my bucket list but I wanted to spend longer quality time in the country instead of just doing the Machu Picchu trek like many others. I had a green cloudy Machu Picchu photo torn out of a magazine when I was still a kid. And then also when studying in Madrid for 5 months in 2005, instead of posters of male popstar sweet faces other girls had on the wall, I had a huge Machu Picchu article. Unbelievable, right?

But back in May when one of my biggest travel dreams was so close to reach, I changed my opinion as I needed to heal my sinusitis as soon as possible. In the stunning mountains of Peru it would not be possible, I booked a ticket to Costa Rica beaches instead to let sunbeams and sea water help me.
My huge Peru dream is still here and I really hope I will be able to fulfill it soon finally! Here is a breath-taking video about visiting Peru that inspires me heaps.

Hey! And by 2020, have you made your dream come true?
I sure hope you did and that you finally visited Machu Picchu!
I’m with on the chilhood dream. I was born and grew up in Romania and all my life I had an immense fascination for Peru and Machu Picchu and I always knew I would make it there. Then last year my dream did come true and I’ve made a 5 days Salkantay trel to Machu Picchu with my husband, as our honeymoon. Best experience of my life !

I’m with you on Peru! It’s my dream trip right now, especially to be able to see Machu Picchu, but I want to see the rest of the country, too. I’m hoping 2013 is our year to both make it there!
