Magique Of Peru

I spent the better part of yesterday drooling over Haleigh’s, of Making Magique, photographs from her recent family trip to Peru. Her journey to Cuzco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Lima has convinced my boyfriend and I to finally make the trip to this colorful and culture-rich country. How can you not want to share her experience?

    I have been reading you for a while but I think I never made a comment before… I am a little shy. This time i can’t resist commenting to tell you that you will never regret travelling to Peru, I can garantee you will have a great experience. The (my) country is full of life, colors and happiness, the living cultures, the history and the nature makes coming to Peru a memorable experience, trust me!
    hope you make it to Peru someday and if you do please contact me, so I can show you somethings from an insider point of view. 🙂
    love from Lima

      @Melissa Sanchez Manrique Hola! I am so happy you did comment! I will be reaching out to you next year, I would really like the insiders point of view. I do have a question for you. What do you call the hat the women with the lamas in the first image are wearing? I love that incredible rosette detail on the hat. I really want one! And thank you again for commenting.

    Wow. Peru is an incredible country. I was lucky enough to spend 8 months there last year doing disaster relief and community development work. These photos are gorgeous, the only thing that makes me think “meh” is that (I believe) the photographer would have paid the women in the first few photos. Obviously I don’t know that for sure, but they look like the typical tourist photo from Cusco, in which the Andean women dress in traditional dress and pose with sheep/llama, etc for money. Does this make it less genuine? I’m not sure, only a thought because I’ve struggled with this as a photographer as well!

    Hi lauren!
    what a beautiful pics! You made me miss more my country.
    I’m really happy that you enjoyed the time there, i see that you’re asking for the name of the hat, it called “bombin peruano” o “borsalino peruano”,
    Hope you back soon, you have Peruvian readers like Melissa and I 😀

  22. I love all the bright colors. I just posted about some amazing steals and deals and there is a piece on there that is so similar to the style ponchos they are wearing above. I love that fashion is international and inspiration can come from literally anywhere.

    Make sure to visit MATE, Larco Museum, Seńor Limon, Papacho’s, Don Mamiño and Puente de los Suspiros at night when you are in Lima. These are some of my favorite places back home.
