This Is Peru

Luminous archaeological sites? Check. Lush rainforest? Check. An arid coast lapped by a highly surfable Pacific swell? Check. Peru, it seems, has it all.

Every cranny of the Andes offers a unique glimpse into singular cultures. Not to mention incredible foods and enough natural wonders to keep a National Geographic cameraman employed for decades. On the coast, adobe pyramids and ancient temples sit quietly amid shifting desert sands and bulging seaside cities. Here, the culture is boisterous infused with African soulfulness, indigenous know-how and the feistiness of the Spanish. The people are effusive and the music is bound to get your hips shaking.

To the east, lie the Andes. This mountain range has served as the heart of countless empires. Its sights are staggering: mountains that seem to erupt from the earth and reach straight towards the heavens, plunging gorges, icy pinnacles and steamy cloud forest. Plus, of course, the masterful ruins of a civilization that could be put on par with ancient Rome in terms of size and infrastructure: the Incas. This is a place of chilly windswept plains and coffee-colored soil, where Catholic ritual veils indigenous belief, where the culture is stoic and the music is laced with pre-Columbian instrumentation. In comparison to the coast, it might as well be another planet.

Lastly, there is the Amazon the earths most fabled rainforest. It is in this tangled jungle that Peru fuses with the lowland cultures of so many other South American countries. This sprawling lowland area is home to clutches of cackling macaws and playful pink river dolphins, as well as remote ethnicities that maintain a deep knowledge of the forest. Scattered about are old rubber boomtowns, where a previous centurys entrepreneurs left behind town squares dotted with graceful tropical architecture.

All of this, combined, comes together to make up Peru. It is a wondrous, surreal mix of peoples, cultures, geographies, languages and food. Enjoy the trip. Its going to be an adventure.

Picture 34 Machu Picchu

There are ruins and there are ruins . Machu Picchu ( ) is definitely the latter a place so stunning its almost difficult to believe it exists. Theres the setting: soaring peaks clad in layers of steamy cloud forest. Then there are the ruins themselves: engineering marvels that have withstood half a dozen centuries worth of earthquakes and inclement weather. And, of course, theres the history: the Inca citadel that remained shrouded in forest until its rediscovery in the early 20th century. All around, an awesome sight.

Picture 36 The Nazca Lines

One of the earths greatest archaeological mysteries sits quietly on the arid southern coast. The Nazca Lines ( ) consist of more than 70 glyphs, covering 500 sq km and depicting animals and a variety of geometric shapes. What their purpose may have been, nobody knows. What we do know is that the best way to see this work of artistic prowess is by taking one of the daily overflights that allow you to admire their breathtaking size and scale.
