Do we really have to take care of the wonders of a country whose only name is enough to make us dream? If we start with its capital, Lima, we would never end with the stamp of the preserved colonial buildings, its lively streets and its salesmen at every corner, both day and night. Its gastronomy is recognized by UNESCO, which enchants the papillae with its often exotic delicacies. And then, to go beyond the misery and the somewhat chaotic aspect of this booming city, we would go south of the country, and we would tell the infinite cultural wealth that it has to offer. Has it ever been imagined to take a walk in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incas and the «navel of the world», a beautiful colonial town where the visitor can enjoy Peruvian hospitality?
The surroundings of Cusco also present numerous incas, and are the object of large hikes in the sacred valley. One of the most famous treks in Peru is undoubtedly the Inca Trail, which leads to the Portes du Soleil, and then to one of the world's most renowned remains: Machu Picchu. The inevitable city, lost and carefully isolated by the Incas in the valley of the Urubamba río, 4 days walking from Cusco, was discovered only at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Spanish, at the conquest of the country, never managed to achieve it. Also, we wonder in front of a lake on the edge of the sky, the famous Titicaca Lake, with its floating islands of Uros off Puno. Finally, if you feel a bit more adventurous or simply curious, we will go north of Peru to discover archeological sites bordered by huge deserts on the coast, or nestled in an exuberant nature like Kuélap. And you will find magic with a daily slice of life that retains their authenticity. The exotic flora and fauna, the huge rivers, the magical sunsets offered by the Amazonian regions. The unlimited beaches of the Pacific, the Cordillera and its Andean people, the wild Amazon… Peru is three countries in one! So it is impossible not to find his happiness there. All travel to this country to exciting history and exciting promises is made "to the extent" of its explorer.
