Machu Picchu is a heritage site in Peru that leaves people spellbound. It is located in a hilltop in the middle of the Andes in Peru. Some of the ruins that you should visit are the Temple of Condor, the Sun Gate, the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun and the Huayna or the “Peak”.

To get to see this wonder, you have to ride a bus from Aguas Calientes that can bring you directly to the ruins. However, if you fancy doing something different, hike your way up the Inca Trail. To do this, you must pre-book your hike with a tour agency at least 2 months in advance because the slots sell out fast. To make your trip even more memorable, after your trek, why not experience something truly extraordinary and take a visit to the inspiring Ayahuasca Retreat Center in Peru.

The water in Pamukkale springs is believed to help people recover from kidney, heart, eye, and digestive problems.Pammukale travertine pool turkey

To reach Pamukkale, you may catch a morning flight from Istanbul to Denizli, then take a ride from there to the Pamukkale springs. Denizli is more than 10 miles away. If you want to travel here between June and August, you must book months in advance to secure a slot.

I'm a dual Canadian-American from NYC that moved to South Africa for work and ended up traveling all through the continent. I'm currently living the expat life in Frankfurt, Germany and traveling the world as much as I can. I'm a bit obsessed with scuba diving, churning credit cards so I never pay to fly, and eating the most questionable of foods in the most peculiar of places. My bucket list is the world, and some day I might make it there.
