Mark and I were able to go to the beautiful country of Peru for two weeks.
We toured The Sacred Valley of the Incas, Machu Picchu, Cuzco, many beautiful
Incan and Pre-Incan ruins, then onto Lake Titicaca to see the Floating Reed Islands.
The altitude there was 13,000 feet. Then we headed to the Amazon River to
explore the many sights there. A wonderful trip indeed and I would recommend
going to this part of the world to anyone! We saw quite a bit of wildlife, from piranhas
and pink freshwater dolphins in the Amazon, to sloths, monkeys, snakes and tarantulas.
We also saw magnificent blue butterflies that were as big as sparrows. And of course,
we saw llamas and alpacas in the mountains. We saw a Ceiba Tree, the picture shows Mark standing at its base...the Peruvians call it the Tree of Life...we called it the Avatar Tree!
