Woman from the Lake Titicaca in Peru

Peru is a country rich in history and culture.  It is very diverse and offers great places that are worth a visit.   One might start the journey by the Peruvian Coast with its enigmatic Nazca Lines, the beautiful Marine Reserve of Paracas and the Oasis of Huacachina, where one can practice one of the ultimate sports of the country -- sandboarding.

In the highlands one might explore one of the deepest canyons of the Americas " The Colca Canyon" and then travel by boat on the highest navigable lake of the world "Lake Titicaca".   Hikers won´t want to miss the Inca Trail and discover the wonders of " Machu Picchu" -- a sacred citadel hidden in the eyebrow of the jungle. The ancient Inca capital of Cusco deserves a week-long stay with its fabulous colonial architecture, traditional festivals and wonderful nightlife.   The "Sacred Valley" of the Incas with its picturesque Andean Market at the village of Pisaq is well worth the time. Those who would rather walk on he wild side might fly to Jungle and visit the National Reserve of Tambopata, a green world with gigantic trees, beautiful lagoons, winding rivers and wonderful wildlife.
