Peru was the home of the Inca people and other civilisations before it. There are so many sights to see there from the enigmatic Nasca lines and geoglyphs to the magnificent Machu Picchu.



The book tells the tale of a journey all over Peru, discovering their history and their culture.





On a mountain trail high in the Andes lies the long lost Inca city of Machu Picchu (located 2,400 meters / 7,875 ft above sea level) - lost until 1911 when it was found by Hiram Bingham. This set also includes pictures from elsewhere in Peru including Cuzco, Lake Titicaca (the largest navigable lake above 7000ft) and the Nasca Lines (which featured in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).

About the only place in Peru not visited within the fortnight (well it was just over a fortnight actually!) was Arequipa to see Condors, but we saw some at Machu Picchu anyway.



A number of the places visited were UNESCO World Heritage sites.
