Peru has been closed for months. David sneaked in there right after Peru reopened in December. It was a very interesting trip. He breaks down all the details of what they experienced, why traveling in the country was probably one of the craziest things he's ever experienced, and finally..... what it's like to be the only person inside Machu Picchu.

Peru has quite a few important dates that we recently just passed. The Inti Raymi celebration takes place every year on June 22 which coincides with the Winter Solstice.
