Peru
Very interesting place, there's still a lot of remnants on the Incas. Including the famous Macchu Picchu, there's heaps of touristy stuff to buy and a lot to see. El presidento is Japanese, figure that one out!
Highlights
Inca trail.
Cuzco, excellent party place.
Souvenirs, good place to stock up.
Nazca, very cool lines in the desert.
Speaking Spanish, ingles will not get you far here.
Low-lights
Witnessing the aftermath of a mugging.
Being offered drugs by a man that just got out of jail.
Rating
Exotic, cheap and still relatively unspoiled (except Lima and Cuzco). Well worth a visit, you'll love the height mountains, ocean and desert. This place has it all.
