Having lived all my life in India, I have come across very few people who travelled to countries in South America.  Mostly people spoke about visiting picturesque countries of Europe and national parks of USA along with some jungles of Africa among the continents other than Asia. So, the very idea of travelling to Peru, for me was pushing myself out of my comfort zone in every possible way. Multiple layovers, long flights to the tune of 10-11 hours and almost 34 hours of travel were just the starters. I transited through two different continents to be here in yet another continent where everything seems to have a different flavour. The capital city of Lima by the vast Pacific Ocean greeted me with sleepy eyes at the crack of the dawn and what later followed was a dream lived with eyes open!!
