This episode took a long time to prepare as I simply have a LOT of adventures to tell you -- things like dealing with miners and loggers in the rainforest, searching for wild (and even sometimes dangerous) animals, and so much more.

It was a lot of fun to prepare, but keeping things fairly organized and trying hard to avoid my tendency to ramble in my storytelling -- epecially when given the backstory and background information -- is hard for me!

Yoiu can found some more information in the Show Notes including a link to some of my relevant YouTube videos (or just look for The Peru Channel on Youtube). They're not going to be picked by Netflix, but I think they're still a lot of fun to watch and show what it's REALLY like exploring here as opposed to the fake "adventures" shared by professional influencer on social media.

In this episode I answer questions that I've seen come up the most so far in 2025 from people planning a trip to Peru.

I read social media and watch YouTube videos constantly to get a feel for what people are thinking about when they plan a trip to Peru. Sadly, so much of what is shared is simply wrong.

As I mention in this episode, it's frustrating to have someone who spent five days in Peru try to tell people "everything they need to know" and even become angry if someone questions what they say.

For many social media influencers, it's often all about making money instead of helping others.

Thank you for listening!

With the new Lima airport opening a couple of days ago, another robbery and kidnapping of tourists near Iquitos, and the death of a U.S. tourist in Huacachina, the past few days have been extremely busy and I thought it would be a good idea to record another episiode a little quicker than usual as ther's so much to share.

There's really nothing much in the Show Notes this week to see other than some links that might help you in coming to Peru through the new airport, but you can leave a comment on the page if you have anything to say including any questions that I might be able to answer.
