As I peered into the window next to me from our aeroplane, a patchwork of Peru's rugged mountains and winding rivers began revealing itself below. Next to me, my dad, a seasoned traveller, photographer, and history buff, was repeatedly re-adjusting his camera—it's not often that places feel new and unknown to him, but this was a trip he had dreamed of since he was a teenager. What was ahead was more than just a getaway; it was an exploration of a land steeped in history, culture, and wonder—a dream brought to life.
