Lima's sprawling size and unique embrace of both past and present make it an unforgettably unique destination. Colonial architecture, gastronomical delights, and art are all part of the fabric of this city. Visitors flock to Plaza De Armas De Lima, the spectacular birthplace of Lima, and Huaca Pucllana, a vast adobe and clay pyramid in central Lima. Additionally, UNESCO World Heritage Site Basilica y Convento de San Francisco (St. Francis Monastery) is a can't-miss part of the historic city center. This busy metropolis faces the Pacific Ocean and its popular seaport is Callao, about eight miles from the city center. |

Cusco is the South America's oldest continuously inhabited city, the gateway to Machu Picchu and once was the capital of the Inca Empire. Make sure you get to Plaza de Armas, the main square and center of the city. Walk through the nearby San Pedro Market to find a special gift for loved ones (or yourself!) or view the Sun Temple Coricancha. |

Most commonly reached via travel from Cusco, Ollantaytambo is an Incan archaeological site in the Sacred Valley of southern Peru. The town dates from the late 15th century and is home to some of the oldest continuously-occupied dwellings in South America. Its primary attraction is the fortress ruins, and it's also a favorite starting point for the famous Inca Trail, a four-day, three-night hike to Machu Picchu. |

Situated on the shore of Lake Titicaca, Puno is referred to as the folkloric capital of Peru due to its artistic and cultural expressions, particularly dance. Notable landmarks include the Andean baroque-style Puno Cathedral and the Yavari, a 19th-century steamship. Products created from alpaca, llama, or sheep wool are a signature of the area, as well as musical instruments like the siku. |

It is confusing, but Bolivia has two capitals: La Paz is the administrative capital and Sucre, where the document of independence from Spain was signed in 1825, is the constitutional capital. the airport, appropriately named "El Alto" (meaning "high") is 12,700 feet above sea level. La Paz is a little lower, at 11,880 feet. La Paz has its modern side, with good hotels, office complexes and good restaurants, but go to the market area and you're transported back in time a few hundred years. |
