Except Antarctic, South America is the last continent we have not stepped on. After evaluating A (Argentina), B (Brazil), C (Chile) and Peru, we picked Peru at last, not only because of its world-famous landmarks, such as Machu Picchu and Nazca Lines, but also for its rich traditions in culture and food and geographic diversity – the country has sea coast, desert, highland and Amazon rain forest within its 500-square-mile area.

Because we’re going to visit Amazon jungles and the highland at 12,000 feet high, we brought pills for Malaria and high altitude sickness. We also took a Hepatitis A shot, so we would have no worry about taking local food like Ceviche.
