An “Adventure in Peru” Unleashed

On Sept. 2, the Sierra Club of San Gorgonio hosted an event at the San Bernardino County Museum. Every month this club offers meetings that typically have to do with travel adventures and the outdoors. On Tuesday’s meeting, the Sierra Club hosted a Tracy Hutchinson in her travel adventures to Peru. Miss Hutchinson, a former Marine, is working towards visiting the Seven Wonders of the World, and Peru happened to be on her bucket list of places to visit. Hutchinson lives her day-to-day life as a professional house-sitter, and owns three independent businesses which include: a Life-skills coach, strategy and management in social media, and teaching (mainly seniors) how to maneuver and use Apple computers. With the money she makes, Hutchinson travels to different parts of the world. She has already visited Machu Picchu in the Cusco Region of Peru, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. While in Peru, Hutchinson shared some of the places she had visited with the members of the Sierra Club. Her travels included: Larcomar-a shopping center in the Miraflores district of Lima, Peru; MiraFlores- a district of the Lima province known for its shopping ares, garden, and flower-filled parks and benches; Plaza Mayor, or Plaza de Armas of Lima-which is the birthplace of Lima, as well as the core of the city. Tracy informs members of the Sierra Club about Plaza Mayor. "This city is the heart of the Inca world…the Incan Empire,” she said. These spots were only some of many places Hutchinson visited in Peru. She provided a slide-show filled with pictures and videos of her travels in and around it. Others who were hoping to visit Peru, who are members of the Sierra Club, were free to ask her questions about her travels, where to visit, and tours to avoid. After this trip, Hutchinson is planning to save up for her next visit to Ireland next summer, and to Alaska the summer after that.
