A Journey Through Peru

Pat’s trip began in Lima, where she explored Miraflores, San Isidro, and the rich history of the Convent of Santa Domingo and Casa del Aliaga. She ended the city stay with a visit to the renowned Rafael Larco Herrera Museum before heading to the breathtaking Sacred Valley.

In the Sacred Valley, Pat and her group visited the Andean Textile Center and Museum of Sulca, experiencing the artistry of Peruvian weaving. A highlight of the trip was spending time with the community of Misminay, where they shared a meal and learned about local traditions.

Of course, no trip to Peru is complete without Machu Picchu.

Traveling by train to Aguas Calientes, the group marveled at the wild river below before reaching the awe-inspiring ruins. As Pat puts it, “Machu Picchu is a truly spiritual experience—one that stays with you long after you leave.”

The journey concluded in Cusco, where Pat explored the lively San Pedro Market and participated in an immersive cooking class, blending history with culinary traditions.
