Peru was the cradle of the Inca civilisation and boasts Machu Picchu, one of the wonders of the modern world - but there's more to see in Peru than the Inca Trail: the mysterious Nazca lines; the Huascarán National Park; a lengthy Pacific coastline and Peru's own Amazonian jungle to name a few. So crack open a bottle of Inca Kola, peruse our Peruvian tips or add your own

    Semana Santa

    Posted by hdoughty3 1 November 2010

    The best place in Southern America to celebrate a traditional, over the top festival in the name of Holy Week and Easter Day. It's an incredibly friendly and hospitable city where you are constantly met by happy, smiley faces who are intrigued by our race and want to learn about us. They truly celebrate Semana Santa like no other. Daily processions commemorating special days in Christ's life, true reinactments of Jesus' crucifiction, ball runs through the city, flower carpets created daily on every street in the city, free food and drink supplied by the town council, fireworks and free parties galore, floats, dance displays and...did I mention the free food, drink and fiestas? An incredibly insightful but fun way to spend your Easter
