2. I am here as a foreign exchange student from Korea
I am here as a foreign exchange student from Korea. I did a lot of traveling while here. It is cheaper to travel to these places from the US as opposed to Korea. This is a brief route I’ve traveled. Its
landscape and historical relics astonished me.

3. Huaraz - Peru
The first city I visited was in Peru. There wasa lot of unsavory rumor about this country’s
public security. However, this is my first
impression of this city: People lived in the
pure, natural environment. There is hardly
any noise. The only thing that made me
uncomfortable was altitude sickness,
because this city has an elevation of approximately 3000 meters.

4. Huaraz - Peru Many visitors from around the world
came to this city, hiking the trail of
Lake 69, located 4600m at the flank
of The Pisco and Chacraraju Mountain. The stunning landscape on the way to Lake 69 make awe people and inspire
them to keep trekking to see the 69th
lake on the peak of this mountain.

5. Laguna 69 – Huaraz – Peru
Many people struggle with the hike right before they reach the highest peak due to the high altitude. Also the weather changed every
10 minutes, from hot to cold.
However, the situation could
quickly go the other way as soon as they see the view of one of the most beautiful aqua colored
glacial lakes.

6. Glacier tour – Huaraz – Peru
Even though this destination has higher altitude than Lake 69, 5240m, I found less difficulties when I was trekking here. I
was enticed by the images of the grand
presence of the natural environment.

7. Huacachina - Peru A village, built around a small oasis
surrounded by sand dunes. A day tour is available including sandboarding
and dune buggy riding. Although fine
sand was annoying the rest of my trip, I couldn’t get the image out of my
head. Sunset gives greater depth to
the color sense of the sand dune.

8. Machu Picchu – Peru One of the Seven Wonders of the world,
also known as the city which it throws awayor the aerial city, is located 2,280m. The
point is the elaborated technique: How did
they moved hundreds tons of rocks and build this city at that time? This breathtaking
view left people dumbfounded.

9. Isla del Sol - Bolivia Island of the Sun, located in the
southern part of Lake Titicaca on
boundary of Peru and Bolivia. This is
the place without much civilization: no Internet. Glaciers is visible slightly and
view of sunset made me relaxed on
top of the island.

10. Uyuni – Bolivia
A salt flat located in Bolivia. Unusual view can be available to see when it’s rainy
season, which puddles are made up through this vast flat, then it reflect the sky. I feel like walking in heaven when there are
puddles.
