¡Todavía estoy en Perú y algunas cosas me sorprendieron!
1. THE WEATHER
I did my research, so I knew Peru had different climates, but actually experiencing it was still wild. One minute I was bundled up, the next I was taking my jacket off. I saw snow, mountains, desert, and penguins all in the same trip.
However, let me just say… the shorts could have stayed at home. 😂
Also, in my personal opinion, Peru is NOT heel friendly. Do what you feel is best, but I am almost certain that had I tried to wear heels, I would be recording this video from a hospital bed. 😂
2. THE FOOD
One thing about Peru, the food does not miss! Now, I am not a certified foodie, and I did stay far away from the guinea pig and alpaca 😂, but everything I actually tried was GOOD.
My favorite meal was hands down the ají de gallina. Shoutout to J. Slate for putting me on because I probably would have never ordered it otherwise!
3. THE PEOPLE
The people were honestly one of my favorite parts of Peru. Everyone I encountered was so warm, kind, and welcoming, and that started with my homestay experience. I cannot wait to tell y’all more about that because it ended up being one of the most special parts of my entire trip.
One of my favorite things about traveling is realizing just how much of the world exists outside of our daily routines, and Peru reminded me of that in the best way.
Which one would surprise you the most: the weather, the food, or the people? And if you’ve been to Peru, tell me what surprised YOU. 👇🏾
