Peru

We spent two and a half weeks in Peru and visited Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Huilloc, and Trujillo. We went to numerous ancient ruins and saw such a huge variety of culture, history, and business. I'm amazed at how diverse Peru is within its boundaries. Once again, there was some culture shock transitioning from Brasil to Peru.

Yet another amazing Cathedral. This time in Lima.

It was so beautiful when it was all lit up at night.

It was a few blocks from our hotel and we found it on our way to dinner. We actually stumbled upon in just in time to go inside and listen to a musical program which was awesome.

In between business visits one day in Lima, we stopped at this mall that was right along the coast. We went to lunch and went shopping around for a few hours. It was beautiful!

What a fun surprise, a little bit of sun shone through! :)

In Lima, we got to go to Museo Larco, where there were some pretty cool artifacts and pieces of pottery, sculptures, etc. Here we learned a lot about culture, history, beliefs of Peru.

And saw some beautiful flowers and ate good food :) It was really neat.

After being in Lima for a couple days, we went to Cusco!

Sacsaywuman

This is ONE rock! Look how tall it is!

The Indigenous culture is alive and strong all over Cusco area, it is fascinating.
