Located on the famous Lake Titicaca, this was the first city in the south of Peru I visited from Bolivia! Although I had an upset stomach, I was beyond thrilled to be in Peru! Peru felt like the holy land and I was finally reaching the golden gates! I was excited to experience a new culture and liveliness as Bolivia had played its turn. Crossing the border was easy and relaxed as we had to get off the bus and cross by foot!

• For Peru, we get 90 days as a tourist, and no visa/extra papers are needed! Only your passport! Technically, if you over stay your visa, it's only 1.5 USD per day.
