Apr 6, 2019More Than Machu Picchu: Five Epic Adventures in Peru
We say Peru, you say Machu Picchu, right? While reaching this 15th-century Inca structure built high in the Andes Mountains is definitely a bucket list item, the country also offers a host of other epic outdoor adventures. What’s more, Peru is incredibly easy to get to from either U.S. coast (about seven hours from New York and nine from Los Angeles), and East Coasters have the added benefit of being on the same time zone, eliminating any pesky jet lag that would keep you from hitting the ground running once you arrive. The Nuevo Sol, the currency, is favorable right now for Americans, and, while the official language is Spanish, most residents can also communicate in English.
