Trip by four cousins to travel about Peru with our cousin, Padre Geraldo Dreiling, who lives in Lima.
This was during the Japanese embassy hostage crisis, 1997. There were almost no tourists and the round-trip flight from Tulsa was $400.
There were almost no tourists in Cusco. Our hotel had just two other guests.
We hired a guide and bus for a 12-hour tour of the Inca cities around Cusco
We went to the Tambopata jungle research center where a fraternity brother, Alwyn Gentry , had spent time.
