I love to travel. I went to Peru and had an awesome time. I live below sea level. Lima, Cuzco and Macchu Piccu is about 14,000 ft above sea level and i had trouble. I took altitude sickness meds but they caused my fingers and toes to tingle. I tried the coca leaves and tea but nothing helped.
Lima Beautiful city
Llama Farm
Macchu Piccu-we flew into Cuzco. took a flight, then 3 hr train ride, 1 hr bus ride and then the climb. They only allow a certain number to enter the site per day. Our weather was beautiful.
The oldest house in Peru. Dates back to the Maya time. This is an altar in the house. and there are real skulls. They raise guinea pigs to sell and eat.

@akindheart I’m sooo jelly. I made it to nasca. It was January and the roads to Cusco were flooded out . A helicopter from Lima would have been 350. I regret not spending the 350.
