Since the trip to Colombia began, I’ve been deciding whether or not to continue traveling in South America after Gabby returned to LA, and if so, where I would travel. Due to Peru’s proximity to Colombia, it has always stood out as a good option. I procrastinated when it came to committing to a decision, and delayed reserving any flights until the Ciudad Perdida Hike. During the hike, there was a French couple that had just been to Peru and had great things to stay about the food, scenery, etc. Hearing about their adventures in Peru over a span of a few days, made me increasingly committed to continuing the adventure in Peru. A couple days ago, I booked a flight to Lima with a layover in Bogota and the plan is more concrete. However, there is still a lot of uncertainty. Which cities in Peru will I visit and in which sequence? Which route will I backpack to Machu Picchu? Will I visit any countries other than Peru? Will I have any spiritual experiences in Peru? Will it be difficult to transition from traveling with Gabby to traveling alone? We’ll see.
