The guys just returned from a trip to Peru and continue to learn new tips and tricks everytime they take a visit.

If you get a little homesick while in Cusco and you just want a little taste of home. Be wary of the pizza in the city square. There is only one spot they have been able to find that uses pizza made with mozzarella cheese.

Acclimating once in Cusco is advised. Especially, when hiking at 16,000 feet. The guys didn't take their own advice and allow two days to acclimate before attempting Rainbow Mountain. Listen to hear how much they struggled.

When using taxis, they found out that Uber is likely the best option to get from place to place whether in Lima or Cusco.

They got to meet some of the travelers that went to Machu Picchu with their company.

And finally, they make a return trip to Central. Be sure to listen to see what they thought of their second trip.

There’s a lot more to Peru than the postcard-perfect snapshot of Machu Picchu. Peru Travel Podcast, brought to you by the team at Cachi Life, digs into the rich, layered, and sometimes surprising realities of traveling in this incredible country. Each episode feels like a casual, informative chat with friends who know the terrain intimately. You’ll hear firsthand stories from the winding streets of Lima and the high-altitude markets of Cusco to the quiet corners of the Amazon, all focused on giving you a deeper, more respectful understanding of your destination. This isn't just a checklist of attractions; it's about the textures of daily life, the nuances of local customs, and practical advice that goes beyond the guidebook. We talk about the small moments that make a trip memorable-the taste of a dish you can’t pronounce, the feeling of arriving somewhere entirely new, and the simple dos and don'ts that help you connect. Tuning into this podcast is like getting a thoughtful, pre-trip briefing from someone who wants you to have an authentic and smooth experience. Whether you're deep in planning or just dreaming of future adventures, these conversations aim to prepare you not just logistically, but culturally, for everything Peru has to offer.
