Authenticity and Tourism The word authentic means genuine, trustworthy, or original. Often it is the quest for the original or authentic that motivates people to travel to Peru.

Reflection is waiting for those who set their phones down, and more importantly, the virtual opinions belonging to others. Dependent connection to others is posing a threat to solitude in the post-modern world. Synchronized cultures are allowing threats to assault and exile ideals for self-assurance. The original definitions of solitude may even face
