Peru
When people think of Peru, they mostly think about Macchu Picchu. But it is much more than that. Its capitol city, Lima, is the 3rd largest city in the Americas. The Andes mountain range cuts right through Peru, giving it some of the highest elevations in the region, but also a long coastline line with incredible beaches and surfing. There's so much to do and so much to see. You'll definitely want more time than you've planned, so consider making any trip to Peru just a little bit longer.
