Visit Peru
The Peruvian often use superlatives to describe the features of our country, for example Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake at 3856 meters (12,725 ft) above sea level or the awesome Cordillera Blanca, which is about 180 km (112 miles) long and 20 km (12 miles) wide. In this fairly small area, there are more than 50 peaks of 5700 meters (18,696 ft) or higher.

Packing - Peru
On the Pacific East Coast of South America, between Ecuador, Chile, and
Brazil, Peru attracts tourists from around the world, eager to experience
the rich history of the country, and see the spectacular natural scenery.
Lima is located in the coastal desert plain around about the middle of the
country. The capital of Peru is an enormous sprawling city, it can be overwhelming,
but has many museums dedicated to the history of the country. Hotels are
on the whole good value and the nightlife, particularly around the centre
of the city is fairly safe and sanitised.
Lonely
Planet - Peru
Peru had a rich cultural life thousands of years before Pizarro turned up
in funny clothing. Wander around colonial cities that echo the legacy of
Spanish conquistadors, explore the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco, visit
the lost city of Machu Picchu and ponder the enigma of the Nazca Lines.
