Trip to Peru

LIMA

Our Trip to Peru started in the capital Lima. These shots were taken at a park called "Lovers Park." There are very pretty mosaics that created beautiful designs and had love quotes as well.






NAZCA

A part of our trip was seeing the mysterious Nazca line drawings. These are HUGE line drawings in the desert sand that cannot be seen from the ground. They are too big. They are best seen from the sky. Below are several of the10 Nazca line drawings. The guide we had explained that he thought they were ways the ancient people used to petition the gods for rain and fertility.






CUZCO

This is the city of Cuzco. It was the heart of the Inca Empire and, in itself, has a beauty to it. It is also 11,000 ft above sea level, and I ended up with a really bad case of altitude sickness. However, I would not change going to this city for anything.











MACHU PICHU

Machu Pichu is really indescribable. It was not, for me, a spirtual experiance as I have heard other people talk about. It was more AWE-inspiring that such an ancient civilization could create this amazing place without the modern tools we use today. It was very beautiful.
