Christmas 2016 – Tarapoto, Peru (Plus – Snow in Arizona)
After a year of intense traveling related to our coffee business, we headed south as the cold winds of December began to blow in Northwest Arizona. Just today I saw on my Facebook page that the Hualapai mountains are covered with snow & Kingman, AZÂ awoke to a beautiful Colorado Rocky like display.
Meanwhile, it’s tropical hot and humid here in the cloud forest of the Andes & the beautiful City of the Palms, Tarapoto. As any self respecting city, Tarapoto has a pretty nice Plaza de Armas (town square) where every year is a Christmas display.
This year was no exception, but we were surprised at the amount of lights. The municipality did a great job this year. We’ll try and add some more pics in the next few days, but for now here’s a handful to give you a taste.
We hope that everyone has had an outstanding Christmas and that all are enjoying the holidays. For me, it’s a nice time to pull back on the throttle, and reflect on the year behind. May we all share in abundance in the New Year 2017.
First, let’s start with some snow…

Pisac is a wonderful little town below Cusco in Peru. It has one of the best markets in the country in its’ Plaza de Armas. Tucked into the Sacred Valley, it is surrounded by impressive Andes mountains. There are many opportunities to explore around, and Pisac makes a great stop on the way to Machu Picchu.
