A week was too short, but I got around. The flight was free after Spirit airlines awarded me a roundtrip ticket to anywhere they flew for taking a later flight home on a previous trip. I chose the farthest destination they flew to. It would be my first international trip, and a day after I quit my office job to venture out into the world. Immediately after my arrival into Lima, I took another flight to Cusco, then a taxi to a train which took me to Aguas Calientes. A quick nap to shake off the jet lag and I hiked up the mountain, finally arriving in the Incan citadel in the mountains, Machu Picchu. An amazing experience that should have lasted longer but the time was short so I made it back to Lima to explore the city with some friends who were arriving. Ceviche, chifa and a taste of pisco sour to check the local flavors off the bucket list. It really was just a taste of such a rich culture. I would love to go back and see more.
