Our most recent trip was three separate safari stops / lodges in Rwanda. Obviously, the most famous activity in Rwanda is to go trekking with gorillas. For us, that was our second stop in Rwanda. We stayed just outside Volcano National Park in the northwest portion of the country.

On our way to Machu Picchu, we spent the first couple of days in the Sacred Valley, trying to recover from both the jetlag as well as the altitude. We stayed at a lovely hotel, which was a converted 18th-century monastery. It was a great spot to rest and get our footing before heading to Machu Picchu. In the front of the hotel was reception, the bar and the restaurant, then you had a patch of gardens, before you got to the buildings with the rooms. In the middle of the garden, there was a large ‘man-sized’ sign that spelled out ‘LOVE’.
We did a couple of day trips driving around the area, we visited a salt mine, and took in the views of the foothills of the Andes. Beautiful views as we approached the mountains.
