Visiten la laguna de yarinacocha, hay restaurant ´de comida típica (cecina con tacacho delicioso) hay un hotel sobre la laguna en palafito ¡¡soñado!!

I did a trip up the amazon river right from the start in Peru when it still is river Urubamba. Tip: Don't book a guide, you don't need them. Bring your hammock for sleeping on the boats and the strongest insect repellent, maybe even a moskito net. Bring time... some days you are waiting for the next boat on the river bank but its not coming, and sometimes they tell you the boat is leaving but it leaves the next day... Bring enough cash - there are no ATM in the amazon. If you want you can bring little gifts for the village kids...

Home town of my grand father. Ask for the totoritas - very nice local boats

The local legend says that when the moon splitted from the Earth, it left a part: Arequipa. This town, built with white stone has two attractions. The first is the day-trip Canyon del Colca, where you can see condors. If you're not unlucky. The second is the beautiful Santa Catalina convent, built with white stone.

Almost nothing to do or see here other than the Nazca lines and an ancient burial ground. Take a tour from a local Peruvian with a small prop plane. You will be amazed at the lines. The burial sites are also quite old and full of history that you can see and touch.
