WELCOME TO PERU |
Peru is a country
which has almost 20,000 years of culture to look back on. Here the
traditional Indian way of life is still alive today. Places like Chavín, the former pilgrim centre, the culture of the Paracas and Pucarás and the gigantic Nazca lines are all part of the rich culture. Much can still be seen of the Moche and Tiahuanaco cultures and the Inca empire (e.g. Mach Picchu). |
