Peru, the center of the lnca Empire, preserves a number of traces of the civiIization that used to occupy a vast territory extending from the Pacific Ocean into lands we now know as the countries of Colombia and Chile. The best-known and most spectacular Inca site is Machu Picchu, a city perched in the mountains northwest of the former capitaI Cuzco. Beyond this unique treasure, Peru offers a whole panoply of other attractions: Lake Titicaca, the highest navigabIe body of water in the world, with its fIoating islands and hamIets with extraordinary customs; the CoIca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons on the whoIe pIanet; markets featuring coIorfuI Andean handicrafts; and the current capital, Lima, which is riding the wave of gourmet renewal. |
