A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hope this is allowed, please remove if not.

I'm moving to Peru/Columbia for the next 3-5 months, and wanted to ask ya'll three things:

What gear insurance would you guys recommend when traveling abroad, something that also covers theft for camera, lenses, tripod, filters and laptops.
What are some photography recommendations for that part of the country? Excluding Machu Pichu, Rainbow Mountain, Red River and Huacachina. To better help with photography locations, I'll be spending most of my time between Arequipa, Cusco, Iquitos in Peru... and Santa Marta in Columbia.
This is my first trip abroad with the main intent being photography. And first time in South America. What are some general tips that are useful to know?
