Number one unforgettable travel experience?
Trekking through Peru’s Colca Canyon with condors soaring overhead, completely remote, spending the night in a hidden oasis, then taking on a 4am ascent out of the canyon was unforgettable. (We did return to our hostel in Arequipa to find that the Peruvian borders were closing due to Covid, so definitely a bittersweet memory!)
But then there was watching the sunrise over the Taj Mahal. I had expected it to be an overrated tourist stop, but seeing it in the early morning light was genuinely breathtaking.
