My favourite Peru experience

'Prepare for many a spine tingling moment as you walk with your fellow explorers towards the revered Machu Picchu. Inspiration and life affirmation is around every single corner, and over each hill. Cameras and journals are all well and good, but these are the kind of indelible memories that will never leave you.' Anna, 28.
