About Peru
Whatever you do in Peru, it will change you. The mystery of antiquity against the majestic Andes Mountains draws you along different and lost paths of human development. Lying entirely in the tropics, Peru is South America's third largest country. Thanks to the excellent preservation of its warm and arid climate, Peru offers an abundance of archeological and cultural experiences for the sophisticated traveler to savor. Visiting Peru's ancient ruins is one of the joys of touring, even for experienced travelers. The ancient Incan civilization is just the start of it all because the Incan people were preceded for thousands of years by pre-Columbian civilizations. And each civilization imposed its own values as the Spanish finally did when they conquered the Inca's. The colonial period of Spain left a legacy of buildings, artifacts and culture to visit and enjoy.

About Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu was unknown and forgotten for four hundred years until American historian Hiram Bingham discovered it by accident in 1911. Perched on a mountain crest 10,000 feet above the dark green Amazon cloud forest, Machu Picchu is one of the world's most dramatic sites. Despite many expeditions and studies, little is still known about this mysterious place today. But it is clear by the abundance of ornamental sites and quality of stonework, that Machu Picchu was an important ceremonial center in Incan civilization.
