Peru
For many travelers, the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Peruvian history is “Inca.” The Inca civilization is indeed one of the most studied and best known of South America’s pre-Columbian cultures and is indeed the most likely culture one encounters when traveling in Peru. However, the mighty Inca only make up a fraction of the archeological wealth -- you will also encounter remnants of pre-Columbian cultures that precede the Incas by millennia!
Peru is the third-largest country in South America and lies in the tropics, south of the equator. Fifteen percent of the country consists of national parks, and Peru boasts abundant wild life that is almost unequalled anywhere else in the world: dolphins, condors, jaguars, flamingos, penguins, and pelicans are just a few of the animals you are bound to see on your organized outings, all facilitated by an onsite coordinator.
