P=Peru

 #1. One of the most popular sights to see in Peru is the historic Machu Picchu city in the Andes mountains. Machu Picchu was built in the 1400s by the Indigenous people known as The Inca. The Inca have sence been wiped out due largely to the Spanish Conquest but their legacy of Machu Picchu still remains. It may be quite a kick but its well worth it.

#2. Another popular sight and destination is a visit to the city of Cuzco. Cuzco was the capital of the Incan empire and offers things such as Peruvian cocoa tea, kayaking, shopping, hiking, and of course historical tours.

#3. Lake Titicaca is a popular destination. It is the highest located navigational lake.Trips to the lake start in Puno which is a spectacular city. While at Lake Titicaca you can visit the floating islands. The floating islands are islands made of reed which the indigenous people of south america used to use to increase faming and living space.

#4.The capital city of Lima is a popular destination spot with many historic museums, buildings.although Lima seems to be a nice city in the day it is not recommended to go wandering around at night.

#5. Hauacachina is a oasis in the middle of a vast area of sand dunes. It is located on a lake and offers things like Sandboarding and riding on the Dune Buggy. Expect to find sand everywhere after Sandboarding and Dune Buggy riding is supposed to be very exciting.

#6. Colca Canyon is the deepest above water canyon in the world. Much deeper than the Grand Canyon of America. You can go visit for a day or go on a several day hiking trip.

#7. Arequipa is a city in the shadow of the volcano El Misti. It offers things like wonderful plazas and historically beautiful architecture. From here you can arrange hiking trips to Colca Canyon and El Misti.
