This story began with a postcard of an instagram photo, where a travel blog shows A wonderful oasis as a destination that you have to know and as soon as I saw it, I knew you were right, so the savings plan began to get to know this unknown destination. The journey began in Arica, Chile. City that borders Peru, I stayed here for a couple of days, to think if I was sure of this trip that I would undertake alone, without friends, without family, only ... only me. I had never done it before and it was something new for me and yes, I was nervous and a little anxious to start this trip in a foreign country, where I am not getting along very well with my Chilean countrymen for political problems and so on, but then I thought that ; That problem was not mine, I am a mere mortal wanting to know a destination and live this experience, so I was motivated and decided to undertake this adventure. The next day I left early for Tacna, Peru, I recognize that at first I was very nervous and insecure, I felt like a fish out of the water, alone, away from home, but as the hours went by, touring this city, I no longer I felt this way, the people were very friendly and it was a quiet town, so I took advantage of knowing several beautiful places and trying typical dishes of the area, but this was not my destination, so I had to move forward to reach my final destination ... After this second stop, I left for Arequipa, a long bus trip, through deserts and nothing but mountains, the roads were really dangerous, with very sharp and steep curves, but that did not stop me, after the long I arrived safely and safely, staying a couple of days in Arequipa, I must say that I was very surprised by its architectural constructions, its stone paths, it was a very picturesque and old town, I felt it was in 1800, filled or of culture, customs, and many stories. But at night it was something else, this beautiful city at night was illuminated, had its own light and shone, its streets vibrated with color, aromas and local music, it was enough to go to the main square to be delighted and meet people from all parts of the city. world, sharing tips, data and the occasional personal anecdote. Already when I arrived I was surprised with the immense amount of mototaxis, a means of transport never seen before by me, they were great, even adrenaline, because there were no traffic lights on the streets, they only touched their horns and headed in all directions. When getting off at the bus terminal and chatting with other tourists, I realized that none of them knew the existence of this place, everyone went to the busy Machu Picchu, there I felt very lucky and special to know this unknown Peruvian jewel. My emotions were full of skin, I was very happy, excited, excited, I even got a nostalgia, because I wanted to share that joy with someone, but at the same time I remembered why I did all this adventure, to find myself, go out to explore the world and not tell me, live the experience of a trip alone and jump into the unknown.
