Although apple picking and the apple festival that is hosted there yearly should definitely be on your list.

For many the road trip from Miami to Key West ends at mile marker 0. However, 70 miles past Key West is one of the least visited yet most spectacular National Parks in the USA. I have lived in South Florida for over 20 years and Key West is a great destination for a weekend getaway. Yet embarrassingly enough I had not visited Dry Tortugas. Therefore, at the beginning of 2019 I decided that a weekend road trip to Key West was in order. And this time it would include a Dry Tortugas day trip.
In case you are one of those who likes to be spontaneous, it is important to understand that a Dry Tortugas day trip is not something you decide to do last minute. The Islands are remote and only accessible via boat or seaplane (both require advance bookings). Therefore, you will want to plan your Dry Tortugas day trip in advance, decide how you will get there and what you want to see and do.
So I have put together this guide with all you need to know to plan a Dry Tortugas day trip as well as additional information you will need in case you want to stay longer.

While visiting Peru you might want to take in the spectacular scenery in the Andes. The area has incredible peaks and mountains. Some covered in snow (Ausangate) and others with the colors of the rainbow like those at the alternative Rainbow Mountain of Palccoyo.
Although I am betting that when you think of Rainbow Mountain you are probably thinking of Vinicunca and not of Palccoyo. Vinicunca with its multicolored bands of soil resembling a rainbow was discovered about 6 or 7 years ago. It has grown in popularity at such an impressive rate, much thanks to social media, that now approximately 1000 people visit daily.
More recently though, a new option has come to light – the alternative Rainbow Mountain of Palccoyo. Some also call it the Three Rainbows, because you will have not one, but three different rainbow mountains to see.
Now that you know that two different options exist you might be wondering if Palccoyo is the right choice for you. So here are my top 5 reasons why you should visit the alternative rainbow mountain of Palccoyo.
I would venture to say that Humantay Lake is one of the most beautiful bodies of water that I have seen. And possibly one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Andean region.
The Andes mountains that surround the Cusco area are some of the most magnificent of Peru. Therefore, many embark on multi day hikes like the long and challenging Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu to immerse themselves in the natural beauty the area has to offer.
However, not everyone has the time, money or physical ability to complete the Salkantay trek. And fortunately there are other time saving and more cost effective options available to experience the splendor of the Andes. One of the best being a day trek to Humanity Lake, a hidden paradise in the Andes mountains. And best of all the amazing views of Humantay Lake are easy to get to as a day trip from Cusco.
