Culture and Nature in Peru

While Peru inevitably evokes images of Machu Picchu and the Inca empire, the country is also riddled with archaeological sites which are a legacy of even more ancient times.
Peruvian Cuisine is a wonderful and varied ethnic mix. With rich coastal waters and one of the largest fisheries in the world, seafood is very typical. Nature and Ecology are major priorities. The Peruvian Amazon has been named one of the world's 10 "bio-diversity hot spots".
