Peru in a Nutshell

For many, Peru is all about colourful festivals and the place where the heart of the Inca Empire stands: the former capital of the empire Cusco, the ancient city of Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley in the Peruvian Andes. But as cliché as it may sound, there is plenty more to this South American country that goes from traversing the enigmatic Nazca lines in Peru’s desert, venturing into the Amazon jungle, greeting native communities in Lake Titicaca, checking Chan Chan’s archeological remains to lingering over mouth-watering cuisine in Lima – a place where food became a religion.
