It was a thrilling adventure! This was my only viable option since I never got a passport stamp when entering the country and I wasn't about to get banned from Peru or pay a hefty fine at customs.

It has been a privilege to stay at this beautiful hotel on the outskirts of Cusco for 2 nights in exchange for professional photos.
