In Panama City, we explored the city, then traveled to Bogota for an unexpected view from Montserrat Peak. In Cusco, we took it easy due to the oxygen-deprived altitude before heading to Machu Picchu for a dramatic peak view. In Lima, we enjoyed the advanced light and water show and wrapped up our trip in Mexico City.

Here’s a look at the unforgettable adventures that occurred throughout this diverse and enchanting land.
