The World Awaits: travel tales to inspire your wanderlust
EP 81 Walk Peru's high trails & the latest from Qld's Sunny Coast
It's one of the world's greatest tourist destinations, and Machu Picchu totally lives up to the hype!
Our guest this week is Sol Campos de Parry, Peru trade commissioner to Australia, who talks about the joy of hiking to the Inca City's Sun Gate. But if you miss out on a hiking permit up the Inca Trail, or are keen to explore other trails in Peru, Sol also takes us to other great walking destinations in the Amazon and Ancash's classic Laguna 69 trek in Huascarán National Park. Beware - Laguna 69 is at over 4600m, so she also shares some tips on adapting to high altitudes.
Also, this week, all the news of new hotels, restaurants and adventures on the Sunshine Coast. See visitsunshinecoast.com
And hello to all the lovers out there - Kirstie and Belle name their most romantic hotels for Valentine's Day, guaranteed to make you swoon!
