Arequipa, Peru (May 2007) : (A&C) Arequipa is Peru's second largest city, located in the far south of the country. The town is surrounded by 3 evil looking snow-capped volcanoes, all +5500 meters in height, and filled with grand colonial buildings built from a light-colored volcanic rock. And, although we weren't allowed to take pictures of her withered corpse, a 500-year-old Incan child mummy (result of human sacrifice on the top of one of the icy volcano peaks) sits in a museum downtown. Great place to finish our time in South America.

Machu Picchu, Peru (May 2007) : (A&C) The purpose and function of Machu Picchu is still largely unknown. The Incans built the cliff-top city around 600 years ago, and its location is so secluded that it was never discovered by Spanish conquistadors. Apart from a few indigenous people, nobody knew of Macchu Picchu's existence until a North American historian stumbled upon the thickly overgrown ruins in 1911. The site may have been a country palace, a religious center, or a city built to celebrate/preserve art and Incan culture.

Sacred Inca Valley, Peru (May 2007) : (A&C) The Sacred Inca Valley of southern Peru is most famous for Cusco and Machu Picchu, but also contains dozens of other ruins and small towns. By using crazy local buses and hiring a taxi driver, we were able to visit sites at Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Maras, Moray, Chinchero. Pisac: hilltop Inca citadel that lies high above a village, atop a plataeau with plunging gorges. Ollantaytambo: fortress with spectacular, steep terraces. Site of rare Inca victory over Spaniards. Maras: enormous, man-made salt flats first used by pre-Inca civilizations and still in use today. Moray: terraced depressions created by Incas to maintain warm micro-climates for crops. Chinchero: Inca ruins incorporated into Spanish church, with great mountain views.

Cusco, Peru (May 2007) : (A&C) Cusco (pop 350,000, elevation 3326m) is the continent's oldest continously inhabited city. It was the foremost city of the Inca Empire, and most citizens still speak Quechua, the ancient Incan language, as well as Spanish. Massive Inca walls line the city and form the foundations of colonial and modern buildings. The archaeological (and tourist) capital of South America, situated so high it's almost in the clouds.

Lima, Peru (May 2007) : (A&C) Lima - the capital of Perú - is big, noisy, and dirty. But it´s also full of life (a mass of humanity, with over 8 million people and 46 separate districts) and filled with incredible buildings, plazas, and history. Conquistador Pizarro came upon the area in the 16th century, and many buildings and statues in the central district were constructed during and just after his reign. Plus, Pizarro´s remains are housed in the main cathedral, along with photos of holes in his skull and spinal damage incurred on the battlefield - not much trumps that. Wonderfully nice people, brightly painted buildings, and amazing food. A great city.

Santa Cruz, Chile (April 2007) : (A&C) Santa Cruz (pop 35,000) is located 3 hours south of Chile´s capital, Santiago, in the country´s fertile central valley. Dozens of vineyards and other fruit farms ring the town, and the snow-capped Andes are visible to the east. Best of all, though, our host family is great!
