Peru

If you love "French Fries" with your burgers, you should know that the potato originated in Peru. The mighty Incas cultivated potatoes in the high altitude of the Andes. Peru, the land of the Incas, awaits you with a world of adventure and excitement.

The perfectly fitted stones of this glorious empire continue to be the main attraction to people from all over the world. Machu Picchu , the lost city of the Incas discovered only centuries after the last Conquistador left, remains a web of riddles for the adventurer and the scientist to tackle. The Nazca lines, what were they, UFO landing sites or a pathway to the heavens and the gods?

You do not need to be a history buff to enjoy Peru. Thousands of people lately are daring the yet unknown The Amazon jungle in search of cures for the world's illnesses, and tap into the knowledge of Shamans (medicine men) who may hold the secret to help us defeat the incurable.

You may not be the adventerous type, but relax. Peru is working hard at becoming a modern country equipping itself to face the challenges of the new millenium. The five stars hotels, the restaurants, and the night life will dazzle you. So come, and explore this exciting land, rich in history and culture.
