One cannot mention Peru without Machu Picchu, the mysteriously abandoned Inca city perched high on a mist-enshrouded ledge. But there’s a lot more to this South American jewel; ruins – Incan and older – still stand all over the country, modern-day Quechua people still live life the way their ancient ancestors did high in the Andes, Lima boasts some up-and-coming, trendy neighborhoods and culinary innovation, and the combination of Incan, colonial Spanish and French influences in Cuzco captivates all the families who visit here!
