My Favourite Placeby actor Joe McGann

Two years ago, some friends and I had the best holiday we’ve everhad, walking and climbing in the mountains of Peru. It was unforget-table, with wonderful scenery and magni cent brightly coloured birdscircling 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 andfertile valley sides. There were lots of narrow paths, all with a long,steep drop o the side. I loved that – it was dangerous but exciting.

The local people, the Quechua, are very friendly. They don’t oftenmeet English people but fortunately they nearly all speak Spanish as well as their own language. As my Spanish isn’t bad, we chatted quiteeasily. I loved the food, too – their corn is delicious and the local sh which is caught in the lakes is the best in the world.

I remember one guy who had an enormous dangerous-looking birdsitting 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 myeyes when suddenly the bird ew o my arm and sat calmly on herhead. 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 Paci c Ocean. It will take about six weeks. It really was magical, and just thinking about it today makesme want to go back there right now.
