Adventures in Peru

In April 2026, Bernie and partner Laraine Lasdon explored the deserts of Peru from Lima to the Nazca Lines, and then flew over the Andes Mountains to experience the Amazon river and rainforest. From the great pyramid in Lima along with artifacts of the Incas and other civilizations, to the birds of the Ballestas islands, the Nazca lines viewed from a small plane, life in cities and villages along the Amazon and the wonders of the rainforest, we invite you to share our adventure. All of the photos have captions that are most easily seen on a computer. To view captions on a mobile phone, press the โ€œiโ€. The photographs of our journey areย hereย or by clicking the picture.
