Travel Peru : Exploring Andean Culture in the unknown Andes (and a bit of the jungle)

How great it feels to be out exploring for the purpose of photography again! Peru is so incredible and so unique in this regard. The geographical diversity is like nowhere I’ve been, but above all, the Andean people and their culture… What I regularly see here is special.

If you’re in Peru and you want to truly enjoy nature, to have fun in it – the jungle without a doubt is where it’s at. We had some great family bonding moments here. In a jungle hot spring pool, Mia learned to swim. We made new friends, visited countless waterfalls, and swam some more.

The city itself was never our final destination, it was simply the direction in which we were heading. We looked to take as many side roads as possible. To explore and, to enjoy the warmth of the jungle and the myriad of rivers and waterfalls.

The jungle area of Peru is very different from the mostly desert coast. The distances between settlements are much shorter. There’s so much fascinating diverse geography – lakes, rivers, forest reserves…

I’d already been to many regions in Peru, but, I still had not really spent time in the jungle. So… that’s what I wanted to do. It’s what my family wanted to do after spending almost two months by the coast.

Much of the Pan-American Highway in Northern Peru is incredibly unexciting. Straight for tens of kilometers, it weaves its way through farms, desert, and some non-descript villages. But, mostly, it’s desert, and not the spectacular type, with huge sand dunes.

What I managed to photograph in 2020 (part III)

Early March, and we were still making fun of Covid with our Belarusian friend. This whole thing was a joke we’d say, a scam to get people to buy masks and hand sanitizer. When she left back to Belarus, she said that things were turning mad in Europe.

What I managed to photograph IN 2020 (PART I)

Unless you’ve personally experienced a war or a natural catastrophe, you’ll likely agree, for you, 2020 has been the worst year… EVER. For me - someone who’s identity has in large part been defined by travel, this has been a miserable year.
