Wow! I visited Cueva de las Manos (Cave of the Hands) which is a Unisco World Heritage Site. As you can see from the pictures it is amazing. I could feel the ancient people around the area as their hand prints and drawings jumped out of the rock walls. The feeling was so positive and [...]

I’m in a beautiful place and am pretty happy about it. I’m sleeping in my hammock tonight at a eco-hotel called Wasplinko. It’s just outside of the town of Nazca, Peru. The place is surrounded by fruit trees…mangoes, prickly pears, and grapes. It’s safe and secluded, but only a mile or so from the Panamerican [...]
