South America
South America has approximately 17.84 million square kilometers, making it the fourth largest continent in terms of land area. The Amazon jungle, the Andes Mountains, the Atacama Desert, and the Patagonian plains are just a few of the varied landscapes that make up South America. Thirteen countries and other territories make up the continent; the biggest ones are Brazil, Argentina, and Peru. With indigenous civilizations coexisting with those of European, African, and Asian ancestry, South America boasts a rich cultural legacy. Due to the continent's lengthy history of colonialism and independence struggles, a wide variety of languages, religions, and customs have been practiced.
Lima, Peru
Just a few hours west, far from the coast, you can find more of the countryside of Lima. Like Cieneguilla, Chaclacayo, and more. It's where usually people have a country house where they can have big fields, grow crops, have all kinds of animals and do different activities like flyink kites, swimming by the pool and ride horses.
Lima is the capital of Peru, its the city part of Peru located in the coast. Here you can find malls, lots of restaurants, different touristic views as well as different activities depending on your tastes. This is a picture taken from one of the malls called Larcomar, which is located in the district of Miraflores.
Along the coast, you can find various beaches. There are various private beach clubs as well as hotels where people have their beach house, and they normally have a club house with restaurants, pools, tennis, basketball and soccer courts. Some of them have access to activities like kayaking, paddle boarding, and rent ski jets, yatchs and more.
Cusco, Peru
One of the seven wonders of the world. Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca citadel located in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Most people go hiking to get to Machu Picchu, but its okay because you can also take a bus. There are a lot of restaurants where you can enjoy some traditional dishes and go to the market to buy some souvenirs.
In the city of Cusco, you will find a lot of markets where you can get some souvenirs and take pictures with the llamas, as well as walk around and get to see all the ruins and old buildings that were built by the Incas.
In Cusco, there are also the Salt Mines of Maras, which are thousands of salt wells located in the Sacred Valley. I really recommend to bring home some sal de maras to spice up your dishes at home. In the Sacred Valley there are a lot of places to visit as well, I recommend to hire a tour guide which can help you create your ideal trip.
