Last Summer Break I went to the country of Peru, and this year I am really wanting to go back. I had so many great adventures in my visit and learned a lot about the Inca culture. I never knew how much you could learn about a country in such a short time.
One of the most memorable parts of the trip was The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Even though it was a really hard hike there we all got to the end of it and roamed through one of the most breathtaking towns. There was so much to do in Machu Picchu, that I sort of got overwhelmed. We went on this tour of the town that led us through all of the ancient ruins. Including Ollantaytambo, "In 1536, this settlement was the site if the Incas greatest military victory over the invading Spaniards." http://septmerveillesdumonde.com/machupicchu/
Another fun memory I made in Peru was when I surfed at Cabo Blanco and Lobitos. The waves were huge, but I have never surfed before so I started out close to shore. And gradually moved farther out. But good thing that there were people to help me because I probably would have fallen.

I think my favorite part was when we went to Gouta Waterfall. The water was so warm and so clear. we swam all day and later went walking through the great scenery that surrounds it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gocta_Cataracts
all in all Peru is a great place to travel and there are many things to do. I had a great time and I hope that some day you can go.
