Travelling trough South-Peru, you'll have the feeling that you're visiting several continents instead of just a part of a country. East of the impressive Andes you'll find the western part of the Amazon Rain-forest. National Park Manu is the place with the most bird species in the world.

In the west, between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, tourists visit the huge desert to see the famous Nazca lines, to sand board near the oasis of Ica, to see penguins near Pisco and of course to visit Lima.

High above the waters of the Pacific, on the border of Peru and Bolivia lays worlds' highest navigable lake, Titicaca (3800 metres). Here you'll find the floating islands of Uros, and the islands of Taquile and Amantaní. The habitants of those islands still live in a traditional environment without luxuries as electricity.

Arequipa is a friendly and prosperous university city. You should visit the impressive Monasterio de Santa Catalina. Several volcanos look out over the biggest city of South-Peru. El Misti (5825 metres) and Chachani (6075) can be climbed. Travellers often visit the Colca Canyon, said to be deeper than the Grand Canyon. In an amazing 2-days, you can hike down to the canyon-river and climb up again. Also, this is the best place to spot condors, with a maximum height of 1.10 meter and a span wide of 3.30 meter worlds' largest flying bird!
