There is more to Peru than just Machu Pichhu. The Amazon river, the world’s largest and the mightiest, originates in Peru and its namesake rainforest makes up much of the country. Another wonder of Peru is the Colca canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon of the United States. And if this is not enough, Caral, located in the north of Lima, has the privilege of being the oldest city in the Western hemisphere. The Inca Lines are still a mystery and one may still be looking for the aliens who built them. Peru has many museums to visit, lakes to ogle at, and a labyrinthine of cities to explore. Machu Pichhu of course remains a journey of a lifetime, a dream travel destination and one of the top archaeological sites on the planet. Lima is a major city bustling with history and culture and an active nightlife.
