Try out Quinoa Soup, a traditional soup made with quinoa and local spices. Delicious. Or try out Pollo a la Brasa which is a classic Peruvian rotisserie packed with flavour! Go on, get those taste buds tingling! We explore Cusco town and see where the night takes us as we get to know the TruFam over a beer or 2.

How's the head? Don't worry, today is a slow day where we learn the traditional art of weaving. Catch breakfast in the hotel before we leave Cusco for the day to explore a Rural artist community. Here we will learn straight from the locals traditional natural weaving and the importance of it in Peruvian culture. Learn how to extract the wool, make the treads and naturally colour the textiles. It really is a Tru-ly amazing experience.

After we've mastered the art of weaving...(Well, not quite, but we tried!) we head to a local pottery school where we will learn about the traditional methods of pottery making and go full on Bob Ross as we paint ourselves a little souvenir to take home. Nothing like enjoying a day while supporting communities. Good vibes all round.

Ready to turn up the adrenaline? We're going full on adventure mode TruFam! Hop on a mountain bike and ride in style down the mountain! Mountain biking is one of the best ways to take in these unforgettable views so we set off on a downhill ride surrounded by the Andes Mountains. 10/10 Scenery GOALS. The sort of views you'd see on a postcard, or a national geographic Instagram post. You get the vibe.

Morning campers! We know, we know, it's early and we are all still half asleep, BUT you know what they say, the early bird catches the worm and trust us, this is well worth it. Guess what; the bus journey is 2 hours so you'll be able to catch up on sleep until we arrive at our destination which is *drum roll please* the impressive Rainbow Mountain! Fun fact, the locals call it Montaña de 7 Colores! A whopping 5200 metres up in the Andes, the mountain is a sacred and spiritual area to the Incas!

Spend the full day trekking up the mountains and taking in the majestic scenery (it looks like it's straight out of a postcard, trust). Think layers of gold, lavender, red and turquoise and you're on the right track . Known as one of the best things to do in Peru today and an unforgettable experience, you can cross that off your travel list! Check you out.
