Peru

#100waysoftravel #peru #argentina #latinamerica Peru is home to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World Arguably the most famous landmark in Peru, Machu Picchu was voted as one of the New Seven Wonders of the world in 2007. At an elevation of 2,450 metres it has the most spectacular setting of any ruin in the world – even those who aren’t normally excited by archaeology will be impressed. This Lost City of the Incas is a place everyone must see at least once. There are 43 native languages spoken in Peru While Spanish is the official language of Peru, there are actually as many as 43 native languages spoken in Peru, including Quechua, Aymara, Shipibo, Ashaninka and Agurauna. Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world At an elevation of 3,812 metres Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world. Around the shoreline and islands on the lake, primitive indigenous villages and small towns can be seen. The reed boats made by the indigenous people and many of their ceremonies are popular sights for tourists. The Andean people refer to the lake as “The Sacred Lake”, thanks to the legend that states it is the place where the great god Viracocha appeared, walking across the waters. The Amazon River begins in Peru! Arguably the world’s longest river, the Amazon river begins its journey high up in the Peruvian Andes near Machu Picchu. From here, it snakes it’s way across the continent for more than 6,000km before coming to an end in the Atlantic ocean.
