Peru is a great place to visit. The people are very friendly and the food most excellent. I didn't get to see all of the country but I am going back in a few months. Here are some pics I took, I had to have someone scan them for me. Click the thumbnails for a better view of each picture.
Most people think of Peru as being a jungle which it is in some parts. However, it is a virtual desert where I was.
As you can see in this picture, it is very dry and nothing grows except for sand and rocks.
This is where I stayed most of the time. This is in Lima
The lanscape looks alot like pictures I've seen from the Sahara in Africa. The main sport on the sand dunes is "sandboarding" lol.
The Pacific Ocean is very cold there. This is near Paracus.
The marking in the sand in this picture is said to be at least 2000 years old. It was made by the Nazca people
This is the small village of Veguita. Most people there had never seen a white man before much less heard anyone speak English. I was here for 2 days.
Here we all are enjoying a snow cone on a hot day in Veguita.
