Quite agree and I was almost brought to tears watching sunrise at Machu Pichu. Loved a 3 day trip to Rio Tambopata Research Centre, being an Ichthyologist, and must go again to the Upper Amazon. Lake Titicaca homestay was very interesting, cooking food and learning Quechua.Peru, is a country with amazing diversity.
I was there 3 times for work last year i go again saturday.
You got big snowy mountains jungle beach history and the big amazone basin/ rivers
Nice people.
I visited machu pichu which is stunning .
I did 2 jungle tours by boat /canoe / walking .
Saw dolphins otters anaconda cayman monkeys.
Do you know that in manu national park there still live many uncontacted people .
In an area as big as romania nobody knows what goes on inside .
Nobody is allowed to go in, plus its dangerous they dont like intruders .
Many got sick from initial contact with white people.
The last frontier , the jungle is really amazing
Siem Reap (Cambodia)and Petra/Wadi Rum (Jordan) are my other world favourite visits
Chiang Mai booked for Oct.
