A lot of you know that we lived in Peru for almost one year while being involved in Christian missionary work. Unfortunately, we’ve only been able to share our experiences with a small group of people! We’ve posted a few experiences below, along with some photos so that you can learn more about our experiences and our volunteer work in Peru.



Cusco & Manchu Picchu

Cusco was the city where we actually lived while we were in Peru. It was big compared to what we were used to, but it was absolutely charming. There is a lot of myth and legend about Cusco's history, and as one of the centers of the Incan empire, there is a very rich cultural element to it. Being the cultural center that it is, Cusco is also a tourist center, so the mix of the two was fun to observe. And then there’s Manchu Picchu. The history behind that place, at least from what we’ve learned of it, is fascinating. We would slaughter it if we tried to retell it, so we recommend you looking it up. They say that if the groomers quit the upkeep on the place, it would be reclaimed by the jungle within the year. It was entirely covered by the forest when it was discovered. Its discovery is a really interesting story also. Again, look it up, we don’t want to ruin it.
