My next research site is in Cusco. Cusco is an easy hour long flight east of Lima, but I decided to try something a little more adventurous. I signed up for a four day long bus ride from Lima to Cusco that included many stops on the way. I thought it would be a good way to see more of the country, and that turned out to be true!
From the beaches outside Lima to the coastline of Paracas, from the sand dunes of Huacachina to the vineyards of Pisco, the journey is best described through pictures! It was a fun four days of experiencing what the vast lands of Peru have to offer, but I am glad to finally be off the bus onto solid ground for the next week! I’ll be working in a town called Ollantaytambo with an organization called Sacred Valley Health. More to come!
