Huascaran National Park

by Paul2001

If you want to have a great look at the Andes Mountains, then your best bet is Huascaran National Park. This national park is made up of the Cordillera Blanca range and consists of many of the highest mountains. This includes the highest peak in Peru, Huascaran which soars above the valley roads at 6768m. The park has a seeminly countless number of hiking treks for the serious hiker who wants to spends many days in the wilderness. However for the daytripper like me there are also other excursion possibilities such as bustrips to Lago Llanganuco and the Pastoruri Glacier. Huaraz is the largest city in the region and has plenty of hotels. Therefore it makes an excellent base for either the massive treks or for the daytrippers. Just remember that Huaraz itself is over 3000m above sea level and that you should rest up before tackling any strenuous journeys. Altitude sickness is serious...

Plaza de Armas, Trujillo

by Paul2001

Trujillo gets nowhere near the foriegn tourists that the other major cities of Peru receive. This is a shame because I found that the city had a certain charm and pleasant weather to boot. The Plaza de Armas, while not as grand as Cusco's or Arequipa's, is quite lovely and well maintained. Surrounding the Plaza de Armas are several brightly painted and well restored colonial buildings. Today these buildings are both government offices and privately owned businesses. Some of these old colonial manors can be visited during business hours. The plaza itself is very lovingly landscaped with gardens and high palm trees. It is a great place to relax as many of the locals do.

The Plaza Mayor in Lima

by Paul2001

Lima is a much disparaged city by travelers but I think that the city has much to offer if you are the explorer type. Most tourists tend to gravitate towards the Plaza Mayor in the old section of Lima. It was here that Francisco Pizarro originally founded the city in 1535. The square is surrounded by several grand colonial mustard yellow buildings. Most of these buildings are occupied by government offices. They are not as old as you might expect as many of the original buildings came tumbling down during one of Lima's many earthquakes. Today the buildings have been lovingly restored to the original appearance. Furthermore the Plaza Mayor has been considerably cleaned up in recent years. A friend of mine who visited Lima in 1977, saw my photographs of the Plaza Mayor and could not believe the change. There is a downside however. The square is supposedly rife with pickpockets, however I...

Visitig Titicaca Lake

by Gerhard_Beer

The best way to visit the wonderful Titicaca Lake or/and to visit Bolivia is a journey with the Pullman-Train from Cusco to Puno - directly at the Titicaca Lake. The train is very comfortable and safe, have a nice Bar and an a wagon with a open "terrace". People, Landscape, History, Mystery - Peru makes me yearning.

Cusco.

by luiggi

The city of Cusco is located in the Valley of the Huatanay River in Peru's southeastern Andes, in the province and department of Cusco. Cusco was the capital of Inca empire from its beginning in the 14th century until the spanish conquest in 1533 , when Francisco Pizarro , the intrepid native of Extremadura ,conquered the promising land of Peru following a long and difficult voyage through Panama and over the Andes.

El Camino del Inca (The Inca trail)

by Alain_Smeets

The Inca Trail is approximately 32 km long and the most people start at Km 88, off the railway line. The trail passes several archaeological ruins along the route. But what most people don’t know is that you cross 9 different ecological areas which are located between 2000 and 6000 metres. The trail is also occupied by more than 400 species of orchids, begonias, trees and much more. So walking the Inca trail is not only an adventures walk into history, it’s also or a hike into the mountains and nature.At the present time the Inca trail uses three routes; and they all start in the following order: The first starts at km 82nd in Chilca, this is the furthest you can go by bus. It goes for 4 days and three nights. This is the longest and the best. The second starts at km 88th, where you usually get by train and it joins the one before after a couple of kilometres. The most people will start...

The mysteries unfold: learn more about the Inca's

by Alain_Smeets

The mysteries unfold: behind the doors, aqueducts and Inca flat.The doors as you will notice none of the Inca buildings had a door. Why is that? Well, when you examin those doorways closely you will see two openings in the sidewalls. In these openings the Inca puts a stick and over that stick he hangs a blanket. This is for them the door and a door is used to keep the animals out.When the blanket is hanging in the door, it also means that they can’t accept visitors and that they want their privacy. The Inca’s don’t know the ”lock” because they didn’t knew crime until the Spaniards came to invade their country. Even today in some remote area’s people still use this principle for the door and they don’t know the word “lock” in their language.The aqueducts are used for household use and for worshipping the water. They are not used to take a shower or a bath. They are also used to irrigate...

History

by tini58de

In 1532, Peru was invaded by Spanish soldiers who conquered a sophisticated indigenous world whose capital was the city of Cuzco, 11,500 feet above sea level. The Inca Empire at the time stretched from modern-day Ecuador to Argentina and was characterized by a well-developed political and social system. Although defeated, indigenous Peruvians were never vanquished. Their world and languages are very much alive today. In many ways, Peru is a country still searching for its own identity-- a cause of much cultural and political turmoil over the last five centuries. In the last ten years economic and political problems have been acute, although the country now seems to be on the road to recovery.
