Here’s some great photos of Peru, one of the better ones I’ve seen in awhile.
| Can countries be photogenic? Here’s why I ask: I love taking pictures, but certainly wouldn’t consider myself a good photographer by any means - I know nothing about lighting, shutter-speeds, or aperture settings and I usually just play with the buttons on my digital camera until the photos I take start looking nice on the display screen. Yet I was consistently able to take good photos during my trip to Peru. Subsequent trips revealed that it didn’t have anything to do with me, so the only way I can explain it is to point the finger at Peru itself. I’ve basically concluded that certain countries are just more photogenic than others - and that in the world of landscape and people photography Peru must be a reigning supermodel. Check out some of the amateur photos I took while visiting the country: |

Because of the high altitudes in Peru, you might want to take some of this advice before you go.
| I know you are worried about this altitude sickness. You are thinking how far you can go up and how to acclimatize! You will find different people will suggest you differently. Even some people will say, ‘ nothing happened to me, so don’t believe these rumors.’ I remember when I was going to Machu Picchu some body told me not to climb 1000 ft a day to escape altitude sickness. Now Cusco is at an altitude of 11500 ft. I have to be in Cusco to reach Machu Picchu. And as I did not have much time I needed to reach Cusco by plane. If I move up only 1000 ft a day, then I have to wait 11 day before I reach Cusco. Which is not practical. Then there are lot of people who told me nothing happened to them, though they reach Cusco by plane, in few hours. So what to conclude from all these information above! Sorry don’t reach any decision yet. Get some information from below, then plan your journey. |

One of my best friends told me some great stories about Peru and the food there.
Here’s some great information on the festivals held in Peru.
There are about 3,000 festivals celebrated each year in Peru. Most of them celebrate the day of saint patron. The festivities mix both the Christians and Andean religions, creating a very colorful and mysterious event. Especially in the traditional villages in the mountains there are several traditional celebrations related to ancient myths.

Another nice place to visit to Chile in the South America. Check out this cool site now, and learn more..
Antes da conquista espanhola no século 16, o norte do Chile era governado pelos incas, enquanto o sul era habitado pelos índios araucanos. Embora, o Chile tenha declarado independência da Espanha em 1810, a vitória decisiva só ocorreu em 1818. Na Guerra do Pacífico (1879-84), o Chile venceu Peru e Bolívia, conquistando as atuais terras ao norte.
