Most famous for Machu Picchu, Peru has so much more to offer!

We visited in 2009, when Cuzco (Cusco) experienced devastating flooding and the famous Machu Picchu was off-limits to visitors. Coming overland from Ecuador and continuing overland into Bolivia, we were able to see much of the diversity of landscapes and regions in Peru: from the desert to Lake Titicaca, and many stops in between.
