Bordering Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and the Pacific Ocean, the Republic of Peru is the cradle of the Inca empire. Peru is home to many parks, reservations and sanctuaries, unique flora and fauna, tropical jungles, the highest lake in the world, several deserts, a rich cultural heritage, as well as being noted for its unique art, literature, music and folklore. Just 100 kilometres inland, the Andes rise up to 6,000 meters (18,000 feet), their jagged peaks separated by deep canyons. Descending the eastern slopes, the rich cloud forests transform into the rainforest of the Amazon Basin. Mountaineers can try their luck around Huarez and the former Inca capital Cuzco; wildlife enthusiasts will be entertained by the sea lions on the Islas Ballestas near Pisco; culture and history buffs will be able to feast on Peru's archeological wealth and charming colonial cities; Chan Chan - the huge adobe capital of the Chimu (near Trujillo); the 2,500 year old Chavín ruins near Huarez; the beautiful cities of Arequipa and Cajamarca. The ultimate experience, however, is walking the renowned Inca Trail, which leads through spectacular mountain scenery and past mysterious ancient ruins, until the path descends to Peru's icon - legendary Machu Picchu - detailed on our map.
