Creator's Key Takeaways

we were definitely worried about this weather I mean we had weeks of anticipation and planning that was at risk for us

then miraculously we got the green light so we got to go on Shore and the first thing we saw of course was the resilience of these communities

when things look Bleak just persevere obviously uh other folks had it tougher but we were really glad that we got this experience

it really was an incredible opportunity and one that we won't forget and to think it almost didn't happen

YouTube Video Description

The Peruvian people suffered terrible storms and our hearts go out to them. Storms slammed the Peruvian coast while we were approaching their country sailing aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey, unleashing waves that devastated local communities. Ports were closed including Salaverry Peru, and our planned trip to Chan Chan and the Huaca del Sol y de la Luna (Temples of the Sun and Moon) was nearly over. Fortunately we have learned that the Peruvian people have rebuilt and come back strong. 🎫 RECOMMENDED TRAVEL EXPERIENCE/TOUR: Peruvian History Tour from Salaverry https://gyg.me/0FVSnF8m ✨ Let us know you're part of our travel-loving community! ✨ Comment "I love world travel!" so we can notice you! 👇 ------------------------------------ 📰 Dive deeper into the story, and head over to our blog: https://chartingourcourse.com/charting-our-course-blog/destinations-salaverry-peru-cruise-port ------------------------------------ 📕 Curious about life on a RESIDENTIAL CRUISE SHIP?

ABOUT US: We are a couple (a psychologist and business executive) who retired early in order to travel and enjoy life. We spend half our time in Washington DC and the other half in extended slow travel all over the world. Lately our slow travel has been aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey in which we invested substantially in the cabin we own and a small amount in the company. Our philosophy is to "travel wide" but also to "travel deep" which means really getting to learn the stories unique to the destinations that we visit.
