Buen Viaje – Take a Virtual Journey to Peru with these Magical Images

As you read this I am somewhere in the middle of Peru, scouting locations, meeting guides, and planning a new photography travel tour here for 2016.

So I thought it would be appropriate to give you an inspiration with some of my images of Peru from 2007. I was so in love with the place and vowed to return. It took me eight years but I did it!

Peru is a magical place. Not just Machu Picchu but the people, the culture and the food. It wasn’t even on my radar until I had an opportunity to go on a friend’s tour as her unofficial photographer (thanks Didi!) and I knew one day I’d be back, and next time I want to bring people with me too – could be you.

That’s the plan. One of the most requested destinations for a new travel tour was Peru, so – you asked for it, we’re building it! Watch for details in coming months, but I promise you it will have some special activities just for photographers, and maybe a few surprises too.

Buenos días (good day) y hasta pronto (see you soon)!
