You Did It!

Machu Picchu with a toddler. The Amazon rainforest with a toddler. Buffer days, slow travel, one-activity-per-day rhythm. You traveled smart and made memories that will last a lifetime.

Trip Recap

Week 1 (Peru): Cusco acclimation, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu day trip from Ollantaytambo
Week 2 (Brazil): Manaus exploration, jungle lodge, 3 days of rainforest life
Philosophy: Buffer days, one highlight per day, respect the nap schedule
