During the rest of her time in Peru, Junelle enjoyed a variety of different activities. She hiked up to Humantay Lagoon, a beautiful lake surrounded by a snow-capped mountain. She went dune buggying in Huacachina, a small town surrounded by tall sand dunes. Junelle also attempted to hike Rainbow Mountain, however, the altitude sickness was difficult to manage.

“Despite the altitude sickness, the highlight of our trip was taking a luxury train ride to Macchu Picchu and witnessing the beautiful lost city of the Incas. It is definitely a site to behold and experience. There was something so magical about that place. I recommend giving yourself a full day at Macchu Picchu to fully experience and learn about their sacred history. And finally, the most important thing to keep in mind when visiting Peru is that it sits at a high altitude so breathing can be difficult, especially when doing strenuous activities. It’s good to go slowly and pace yourself and come prepared with medication for altitude sickness. They also sell medications and teas everywhere in Cusco.”
