Roosh V, from his personal blog rooshv.com hit me up with an email to do a paid review  of his South America Travel Guides, which is located in the travel section of his blog.

When I started this blog, I planned to include interesting and inspiring travel photography, but I seem to have forgot to do that until now.

I ran across some really good photos of Peru from Andre Gunther Photography. My favorite photo is that of the Andean Explorer, a train that takes riders through the awesome Peruvian scenery of the Andes. I also like one of a cathedral con flores (middle), and I’m showing Lima some love with the final picture of the Miraflores district.

Since I created my budget travel wish list, I have been interested in traveling to Peru. The Spanish culture and language, beautiful scenery, and its affordability are all reasons that I would love to travel to Peru.
