In this episode of the Travel Agents Podcast, hosts Brian and Will talk about Brian's recent trip to Peru. Brian chose Peru for an adventure trip with his friend Steve and focused on visiting Machu Picchu. They used a travel company called G Adventures, known for eco-friendly and fun tours.
Brian explains their travel route from Cleveland to Lima, then to Cusco, and finally to Machu Picchu. He talks about the importance of getting used to the high altitude in Cusco before heading to Machu Picchu. To help with this, they used coca leaves and altitude sickness pills.
The trip included a trek to Machu Picchu, where Brian describes the amazing views and the historical significance of the site. He also shares practical tips like using WhatsApp for communication and the fact that many places in Peru accept US dollars.
Brian also highlights Rainbow Mountain, a colorful mountain that was revealed when the snow melted in 2016, and the cultural richness of Cusco. He mentions the importance of staying hydrated, using a sun shirt, and how the high altitude can affect you.
