You can stop googling ‘destination Machu Picchu’. Here’s everything you need to know about the Peruvian New Wonder of the World.

Whether it’s packing more sunscreen with you for your time at Machu Picchu or brushing up on altitude sickness, these tips will help you make the most out of your once-in-a-lifetime trip.

There are many important things to consider when hiking to Machu Picchu, like getting a hiking permit, booking flights, and training for a high-altitude trek. But the most integral element is one that’s often left until the eleventh hour: packing.

No sweetheart this year? No worries. Choose travel instead this Valentine’s Day! With the “most romantic” day on the calendar fast approaching, I thought I’d take the chance to introduce you to your next dreamy destination.
