Peru: Land of the Incas
Machu Picchu is one of the most important history destinations in the world and the main destination in Peru. Bus Peru is not only Machu Picchu: the past cultures left a diverse legacy: Aipan in the nothern coast, chachapoyas in the northern Amazonian Andes, Pachacamac and Caral in Lima and Nasca and Paracas going south.
The spanish conquest, colony and republic left different kinds of monuments and created new cultural expressions that mixes the former andean with christian cultures (cuisine, drinks, handycrafts, costumes, popular fests, religiosity, etc.).
Ecosystems are another important thing. Being crossed by the Andes Mountain Range, these mountains influence a hard way to all latitud degrees in the country developing more than 80% of the world ecosystems, now in danger because of global warming.
All these reasons makes every circuit a different experience where contact with nature and habitants are the most important keys of a travel experience.
