• Peru is an incredible place to visit not only for
  its rich cultural heritage but also for the
  unique adventure opportunities its presents. A
  majority of tourists tend to arrive in the
  capital city of Lima, get a fill of their
  cultural dose by visiting Machu Picchu and Cusco,
  and leave the country. These magnificent Inca
  ruins can see tourist traffic of up to 3,000
  visitors a day during peak season. The obvious
  reason for such a footfall is its incredible
  historic value coupled with the sheer beauty of
  the place. Machu Picchu is located on the top of
  a tropical mountain rainforest and is nearly
  2,500 feet above sea level. It was the most
  amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at the
  height of their power. A trip to this
  archaeological sight tops any Peru must-see
  sight.
