PERU

Peru is home to a section of the Amazon rainforest and Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan city high in the Andes mountains and one of the 7 wonders of the world. The region around Machu Picchu, including the Sacred Valley, Inca Trail and colonial city of Cusco, is rich in many archaeological sites just waiting to be explored. On Peru’s arid Pacific coast is Lima, the capital, with a preserved colonial center, important collections of pre-Columbian art, a thriving food scene and some serious surf. Traveling through Peru is as complex as its most intricate and exquisite weavings, with multiple trains, planes and automobiles required in order to navigate this South American gem.
