On these pages you will find ideas for a trip to Peru to help you prepare for your trip. All these ideas are there just to get your imagination going; you can alter, mix and match them as you please. Your local agent will help you create a unique and unforgettable trip, just for you! Peru has three distinct parts, each with its own character: the Pacific coast, which is the most densely populated; the Andes range, with the highest mountain being the towering Huascarán at 6,768 metres; and the Amazon, which covers the largest part of the country. If you’re going, start with the must-see: Machu Picchu – fortunately not found by the Conquistadors – rediscovered in 1911. You should visit it at dawn to see the ruins shrouded in mist. This extraordinary site still clasps a few secrets to its bosom. Not far away, the Andes range draw ramblers and trekkers to magnificent landscapes. The ultimate rambling experience is the Inca Trail through exceptional archaeological sites. During your stay in Peru, you must stop in Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The Spanish erected their buildings, especially religious ones, over Inca constructions which they systematically destroyed, only sparing their characteristic foundations, which are still visible today with their large, perfectly cut and fitted stones. A voyage out of time awaits you in Cusco.

With Yumani,, in the south and <a href="/bolivia/holidays/places/2531-challa/">Challa</a>, in the east, Challapampa is one of 3 villages in the legendary Isla del Sol. Surrounded by the clear waters of Lake Titicaca, Challapampa is a peaceful village. The inhabitants of this lakeside community are descended from Aymara and Quechua Indians and they live on their ancestral activities such as hand-crafted goods, farming and fishing, as well as a more recent one: tourism.
It's from Challapampa, going along a cobbled path, that you can explore the legendary ruins of Chincana, a sort of semi-underground stone construction, as well as the sacred stone of Chicana, 100 metres from there. In the old days, these impressive remnants were the theatre for Incan ceremonies and perhaps even for sacrificial rituals! As proof, there's an ancient table placed in the heart of the stones, worn by erosion and time. 
To enter the territory of the Challapampacommunity, you are asked for a right of way from some Bolivians. This custom is very popular in Bolivia. Also, don't forget to ask for the locals' permission before photographing them.
