PERU | 4x4 TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY

Peru's name is derived from Quechua, meaning Land of Abundance. Without a doubt, Peru would be one of the most diverse countries we would ever visit. Traveling this country in an off road camper would allow us to explore remote desert peninsulas with long sandy beaches, before cutting inland to explore snow capped mountains and glaciers situated at over 20,000 feet in elevation. This would only be a prelude to visiting the famous hidden Inca city, Machu Picchu, tucked into the mountains on the edge of the Amazon rainforest.

Peru is the 3rd biggest country in South America, with nearly endless wild camping opportunities, it often becomes an instant favourite destination for international overlanders. As a bonus, Peru is famous for its cuisine, we would spend over a month enjoying ceviches and fried fish along the coast as well as Lomo Saltado and Aji de Gallina among other dishes further in the mountains.

Ultimately, our attempt at documenting our experiences traveling through this incredible country would be thwarted when our truck would be broken into in the city of Cusco, resulting in the loss of two cameras (which contained SD cards with footage that had not yet been backed up) and a laptop, as well as multiple bags of clothing. Our friends in the white truck that we had run into multiple times would also have their rear window smashed and things stolen just days before us, in another part of the country.

Of course, these are the risks of living the van life and having everything you own in a car.
