Peru is one of the most culturally rich and colourful nations in South America, land of the Incas and sun gods. Advanced Indian civilizations have long left their mark on the landscape, building lost cities that thrived before the Spanish arrived. Temples and ruins adorn much of the land making it a must see country for any adventure traveller . Out of all the things to do on your Gap Year, Peru offers many of South Americas great attractions. While trekking the traditional Inca Trail (or undiscovered Moonstone Inca Trail) to Machu Picchu is the probably the most popular peru gap year activity, there are many other incredible things to see. Gap year peru highlights include the Colca Canyon - a gorge twice as deep as the Grand Canyon; the mysterious an impressive Nazca Lines - whose shapes tell forgotten stories from the past; Lake Titicaca's native island communities will welcome you to their traditional cultures and then there is Cusco with its traditional markets, historic archaeological sites and the excellent cafes and nightlife that make the city a visitor's favourite.
