Exploring La Paz, Bolivia

While traveling throughout South America, I stopped in Bolivia. Even though my time in Bolivia was short, I used the limited time that I had to check out La Paz, which is a fascinating city of 2.3 million people.

A Day Tour of the Sacred Valley

In its heyday, the Sacred Valley of Peru formed the heart of the Inca Empire. However, now it is a major tourist attraction with plentiful ruins and archaeological sites to explore. I had the opportunity to take a day tour through the Sacred Valley with stops in Chincero, Moray, Salineras de Mara, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac.

A Religious Procession in Lima

Religion plays a major role in many people’s lives throughout the world. This is clearly shown in the devotion to Catholic religious practices in South America. When I was in Lima, Peru, I came upon a religious procession in honor of Our Lady of Carmel.
