south america – Wandering the Gap

Hello everyone! Today I’m sharing with you the second part of my Peru Photo Diary series. These photos were primarily taken in Centro Historico and Miraflores. Fun fact: we actually got caught in the middle of a protest while we visited Centro Historico! Thankfully it didn’t turn violent at all, but there was a heavy police presence and we had to barricade inside a restaurant at one point to avoid being tear-gassed. Crazy times! Miraflores was one of the highlights of the trip for me personally. I loved walking through the street markets and seeing all the artists.

Stay tuned for part three where I’ll be sharing some of my favorite photos from the entire time when we had the amazing opportunity to visit Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Hello and happy May everyone! I can’t believe we’re already 5 months into 2022 – it seems like time is flying by faster and faster with every passing minute.
I was recently looking through some of my photography archives and realized I never properly shared photos from my study abroad trip to Peru in May of 2019. I had the most incredible time visiting Peru, and it remains one of my favorite travel experiences to date.
In honor of it being the three year anniversary of my Peru trip, I plan to share three photo diaries in total throughout the month of May. This first photo diary focuses on activities and sights throughout the city of Lima. My fellow students and I had the amazing opportunity to learn about Peru’s incredibly rich history while we were there – we visited lots of museums, toured some historical sites, and walked a countless number of steps exploring every day! Getting to experience a new country in such an immersive way was honestly incredible, and I definitely hope to return to Peru one day. Throughout our trip I was continuously amazed by how vibrant and colorful the country was, and it was seriously a photography dream.
I hope you enjoy these photos and stay tuned for parts two and three!
