For the active adventure traveler, Peru has the four essentials: physical challenges, diverse climates, rich cultures, and varied landscapes. Oh the People You Meet founder Michaela Guzy shows us how to find the best views of Machu Picchu. Plus, she horsebacks in the Sacred Valley, kayaks on Lake Titicaca, fishes for piranha on the Amazon, and hikes up to the sacred citadel of the Incas.
