My Favourite Place
by actor Joe McGann
Two years ago, some friends and I had the best holiday we’ve ever
had, walking and climbing in the mountains of Peru. It was unforgettable, with wonderful scenery and magnificent brightly coloured birds
circling in the sky above. What made the holiday really special for me
was that we hired a local expert who showed us the hidden green and
fertile valley sides. There were lots of narrow paths, all with a long,
steep drop off the side. I loved that – it was dangerous but exciting.
The local people, the Quechua, are very friendly. They don’t often
meet English people but fortunately they nearly all speak Spanish as
well as their own language. As my Spanish isn’t bad, we chatted quite
easily. I loved the food, too – their corn is delicious and the local fish
which is caught in the lakes is the best in the world.
I remember one guy who had an enormous dangerous-looking bird
sitting on his shoulder. He asked me if I’d like to hold it, which I did.
I was with my friend, who was wearing a hat. I couldn’t believe my
eyes when suddenly the bird flew off my arm and sat calmly on her
head. It was an extraordinary sight.
I intend to go back to the area next year, and I will drive south all the
way to Patagonia, right to the Pacific Ocean. It will take about six
weeks. It really was magical, and just thinking about it today makes
me want to go back there right now.
