December 28, 2023
Peru conjures up images of ancient cities, lonely mountains, and all the drama of a once-mighty civilization. The jewel in the crown of Peru’s historical treasures has to be the lost Inca city of Machu Picchu, high in the Andes Mountains. There’s much more to discover, from Chan Chan to the puzzling Nazca Lines etched in the desert floor.
