Ultimate Peru Travel Guide: Is It Overhyped or Worth It | Yalla Habibi Podcast

from Yalla Habibi · host Scott and Shelby

Here’s your ultimate guide to Peru— home to one of the greatest wonders in the world, with ancient engineering so advanced we’re still scratching our heads today. We spent three weeks exploring Lima, Cusco, and Aguas Calientes so you can decide if Peru is right for your travel style, from city life and world-class food to mountain markets, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we share what Peru hit us with on day one and a surprising fact that completely changed how we saw Lima, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts one of South America’s food capitals to the test. Finally, in “Worth The Trip” we help you decide if Peru truly deserves a place on your bucket list and the things you’ll wish you knew before visiting.
