Travel Sketch
Peru has always been a place that I’ve wanted to visit. It’s located in South America, and hold one of the seventh wonders of the world. Growing up in a Peruvian family, I had only visited it twice surprisingly. Both my mother and father grew up and lived there for a majority of their life. Although I had only visited there twice, I would definitely live there because, of its scenery and people. Also, Peru has the best food in the world, from a wide range of; Chinese food to its authentic food, it’s delicious. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
When I was sixteen years old my father came barging into my room on a sunny Thursday afternoon announcing that we are going to Peru to visit the marvelous, Machu Picchu. I have always wanted to visit Machu Picchu for my entire life, and my father finally decided to plan a trip for him and I to go. Peru is a country where all of my relatives live. My mom and dad both have over 8 brothers and sisters each! The houses each of my parents grew up in were and hand built by each of their own fathers, my fathers is three stories tall!
While I was on the plane, the amount of excitement I had was as almost as equal as me being stuck in a candy shop for hours. So many things to discover and try! As I landed in Cuzco, Peru, where Machu Picchu resides, I felt so amazed when I touched foot onto land. It felt so different from the land back home… this felt like home, my roots. We had a hotel reserved for my dad and I a mile away from Machu Picchu. The day to visit Machu Picchu came, so we had hopped on to the bus, and headed off into the vast foreign mountains to make our way to Machu Picchu. My jaw had dropped after we had arrived to the top of the mountain. We had an amazing view of all of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is in a subtropical zone and the climate is mostly mild. The beautiful wonder is divided into two sectors, which is the rural
