Discover the Wonders of Peru with Me: Machu Picchu & the Amazon – July 18 – 27, 2025  

I am super excited to announce a new and thrilling journey to Peru! After over 30 years of leading artistic adventures to Costa Rica, I’ve decided it’s time to venture into new territories, and Peru couldn’t be more perfect for this next chapter.  

I was fortunate to travel with Holbrook Travel to Peru. It was an exhilarating whirlwind tour where we explored different parts of the country to scout out the best venues for my art and photography tours. From Lima to the Amazon Rainforest, and the legendary Machu Picchu, I was absolutely captivated by the country’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and endless creative inspiration.  

The folks at Holbrook Travel have been at the heart of my travel business for years. Since the pandemic subsided and travel reopened, I’ve been thrilled to sell out my Costa Rica tours three years in a row—a clear sign that travel is back! Now, I’m ready to bring that same energy and enthusiasm to this incredible new destination.  

Peru is an artist’s dream, combining breathtaking natural beauty, vibrant culture, and exceptional value. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the things I can’t wait to share with you on this unforgettable journey:  

Trip Highlights  

  •  Machu Picchu: A Wonder of the World – Step into history as we explore the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, nestled high in the Andes. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a marvel of engineering and a place of profound beauty. It’s perfect for sketching, photographing, or simply soaking in the awe-inspiring atmosphere.  
  • Cusco: The Cultural Heart of Peru – Discover the charm of Cusco, with its vibrant markets, ancient temples, and cobblestone streets. This city blends the energy of modern life with the history of the Inca Empire, providing endless inspiration for your art and photography.
  • The Amazon Rainforest: A Natural Masterpiece – Immerse yourself in the lush biodiversity of the Amazon, where nature reigns supreme. Stay at an eco-lodge, take guided walks through the jungle, and capture the vivid colors of exotic wildlife. From playful monkeys to brilliant toucans, the rainforest offers countless opportunities to connect with and create art inspired by nature.
  • Creative Sessions in Iconic Locations –Throughout the trip, we’ll dedicate time to sketching, painting, and photography. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro, I’ll be there to guide you with tips and techniques to elevate your creative work.
  • Animal Sanctuaries: A Close Encounter with Conservation  – One of the most meaningful parts of this journey will be our visits to animal sanctuaries. These incredible organizations are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting wildlife, offering us a chance to see their efforts up close. Whether it’s hummingbirds, monkeys, llamas, or other iconic Peruvian animals, these sanctuaries provide a unique opportunity to connect with the animals and learn about conservation efforts in the region. As an artist passionate about wildlife and environmental stewardship, I’m especially excited to share this experience with you.
