I'm Alessandra, but you can call me Alex. I'm 22 years old and I was born and raised in Italy. I graduated last December in social studies. Before going to my graduation party I packed the essential, couple of clothes, a travel journal, hiking boots, my sandals and the guide of south America on a shoestring. Two days later I was on a flight heading to Cuba, with just one plan: heading south, slowly but surely.
I loved to study and I love what I studied, but I had, deeply inside, an urge need to go and see South America. Furthermore, the political and social situation in my country was not that appealing that leaving had never been so easy.
So, South America, from north to south, a part of the world that has always fascinated me. A land full of history, not just one , but different histories. I couldn't wait to understand more about the history through people's stories. I couldn't wait to see it with my eyes.
Now, here I am, after 8 months I'm currently in Peru, and, on Steemit, I'll share my thoughts and my experiences.
Does any of you want to share Latin American experiences? Any advice is appreciated :-)
Cheers

Hey Alex, great to see you are traveling through South America. If you are in Peru, you should try to visit Choquequirao. It is also calles "Machu Pichu's sister" because of the similarities. However, it is less crowded than Machu Pichu and in very good condition. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy your trip.

Hey! Thanks for the tips! I've heard about it, do you know if you can get there hiking couple of days? Should I do Choquequirao insted of Machu Pichu or do both ? What do you think?

If you have the time to do both, I would recommend to also hike the Machu Picchu because it is also very impressive. The Choquequirao is more challenging to hike that's why there are not that many tourists. For the hike you would need around 4-6 days (hiking up and down is between 60 and 70 km).
