PERU
Mention Peru to many and the first thing that jumps to mind is the glorious Temple of the Sun, Machu Picchu. While this ancient city in the sky certainly is a must see, there is alot more to Peru. Here you have South America at its natural finest. A land where you can go from the coast to the highest parts of the Andes and down the other side into the vast Amazon rain-forest. You’ll also struggle to find better food or value anywhere else in the Americas.
