Day 2: Contiki South America<\/a><\/h2>\n

Peace out Lima<\/a>! Today we head into Peru’s mountain region towards the Sacred Valley<\/strong>. Our first stop is a Llama and Alpaca farm where I got the opportunity to ride\u00a0a Llama. Well not really ride, I just sat on one and got to pet a lot of them.<\/p>\n

After our South American petting zoo experience, we continued our drive via some very sketchy mountain roads and through a mini monsoon towards the Pisac Ruins<\/strong> . One good thing that came from our bipolar weather bursts was this gorgeous rainbow that appeared across the valley.<\/p>\n

Each individual person when visiting a new place has preferences to things they wish to view and spend time at. For some, the most exciting thing about travel may be: the local people, experiencing culture shock, the nightlife, shopping, wildlife or simply food. I \u00a0prefer nature, landscapes, architecture, history, ruins and engineering marvels. Does that make me a nerdy science geek? Yes it does, but that’s what I love about travel.<\/p>\n

I especially love ruins, something about buildings that have stood for hundreds to thousands of years is something that leaves me speechless.<\/p>\n
