Peru, We love you!

We finally left Chile and headed to Arequipa, Peru. We first heard of Arequipa from our friends Rad and Lanthy and we kept on hearing great things about it during our trip. It was a great introduction to Peru and an amazingly beautiful place.

Ciao, Chile!

Jesus welcomed us to Peru
