Mysterious lost civilizations, the drama of conquest, but also unique biodiversity and a clash of cultures, Peru always arouses curiosity and wonder. This book allows you to discover all the diversity of this Latin American country, a setting for exceptional sites: snow-capped peaks, volcanoes, a natural park, and high plateaus bordering Lake Titicaca. The Peruvian coast offers the beauty of its desert landscapes bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the remains of several pre-Inca civilizations. The Inca civilization was able to appropriate previous achievements and exploit them on a large scale, as evidenced by the citadel of Machu Picchu. Contemporary Peru represents the fruit of a synthesis between these two cultures, that of the Indian world and that of the colonial period. Despite centuries of exploitation and discrimination of all kinds, the Indians have been able to preserve a folklore rich in festivities as well as a most varied artisanal creation.
