We also explored the city of Cusco, Pisco and lima Peru as well. Additionally, we traveled by water on the Lake Titicaca, ventured to Isla Del Sol to watch the sunset. This was just some of the many amazing adventures we experienced while in Peru and Bolivia for 3 weeks. We also went to Bolivia to bike the worlds most dangerous road, Yungas road. Not only that, we also explored the Salt flats in Uyuni for 2 days and 1 night where we stayed in a hostel made of salt!!! This trip through Peru and Bolivia in 3 weeks was one of the best of my entire life. I can’t wait to go back and revisit these amazing countries. The best part of all is I got my entire trip paid for by find a videography gig while traveling.
