Lima
is the capital of Peru and was founded in 1535 by the Spanish
"Conquistador' Pizarro. The city replaced Cusco as capital
and soon became the richest settlement of Spain in the New World.
Today Lima is a metropolis of over eight and a half million
inhabitants. In the center you can find various interesting
sights, like the museum of Anthropology, the Gold museum, the
catacombs of the San Francisco Church, and the Plaza de Armas.
Once
Cuzco formed the heart of the Incan Empire, and was later conquered
by the Spanish. They destroyed the city and used the foundations
of the Incan constructions to build a new colonial city. Around
Cusco, in the Sacred Valley of the Inca's, you can still find
many impressive Incan ruins, such as Sacsayhuaman and Ollantaytambo.
Nowadays Cusco is a beautiful colonial city, where ancient spirits
still tell their colorful tales.
The
region of Puno played a very important role in pre-Incan and
Incan times. According to the legend, Manco Capac, the first
Inca, and his wife Mama Ocllo emerged from Lake Titicaca instructed
by their father, the Sun, to establish the Tahuantinsuyo Empire.
Puno's main attraction is Lake Titicaca: Situated at 3,809 meters
above sea level (12,379 ft), Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable
lake in the world, with a length of 120 miles (194 kilometers)
and an average width of 40 miles (65 kilometers). Its depth
exceeds 81 feet (25 meters) in places, and its colors range
from deep blue to pale green. An extraordinary variety of wildlife
makes its home by the lake, including flamingos, ducks, trout,
and local fish such as the suche and carachi. The totora reed,
which grows all over the lake serves both as food (for people
and animals), and building materials (for homes and rafts).
