Peru, the land of the Incas, continues to be the main attraction to people from all over the world. Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas discovered in the twentieth century, remains a web of riddles for the adventurer and the scientist to tackle.

While in Peru you can visit the Amazon Rainforest (selva) and search for cures of the world’s illnesses.

You can have a trip to the depths of the jungle in Iquitos and cross the Andes. Since Iquitos isn’t accessible by road, you can spend some time on an Amazon Cruise boat.
