Peru is an epic fantasyland. Imagine Scenery on the scale of an Indiana Jones or Lara Croft flick, with forgotten temples entangled in jungle vines, cobwebbed imperial tombs baking in the desert sun and ancient bejeweled treasures beyond reckoning. Wild rivers that rage,pumas that prowl in the night and hallucinogenic shaman rituals that are centuries oldand it's not just a movie here, it's real life.
