Visiting Peru, Part 1
In December 2015, our family explored Peru. We dived into the journey, discovering the country's wonders and mysteries. One standout was Cusco, where we spent two amazing weeks, giving us the chance to uncover the city's stories. Beyond the famous Machu Picchu, we tackled the challenge of Rainbow Mountain, reaching 17,000 feet. Coping with the altitude, I found solace in chewing cocoa leaves.
​
The people we met in Peru were warm and welcoming, reflecting the nation's diversity. In markets and squares, their stories revealed pride and resilience. Peru's design, seen in architecture and interior spaces, fascinated us with its cultural fusion and craftsmanship.
The interiors of Peru held a particular charm. In Cusco, ancient motifs and vibrant colors adorned buildings, creating a living tapestry of history. Doorways whispered tales of intricate craftsmanship, each pattern telling a story of the Andean heritage. As we ventured further, the fusion of indigenous styles with Spanish influences became apparent, creating a unique aesthetic that resonated through homes and public spaces alike.

The culinary experience was a delightful journey through the flavors of Peru's rich heritage. From ancient traditions to modern dishes, each bite connected us to the heartbeat of the nation.

In the radiant atmosphere of Cusco, where history met modern life, and the mountains whispered ancient tales, Peru left an indelible mark on us. Every step felt like a rhythmic exploration, and each encounter added a poetic verse to our Peruvian adventure. The intricate interior designs became not just decorations but reflections of a cultural narrative that unfolded with every doorway and every room.
