Famous for the incredible remnants of the Incan Empire tangled within its wildest landscapes, Peru is a magnificent country whose beauty knows no bounds. Your adventure across its scenery of jungle-clad mountains and desert-bordered coast begins in the sprawling capital of Lima.

When you think of Peru, you’re probably picturing towering mountains and remnants of ancient civilizations hidden among verdant peaks. But the country’s capital, Lima, was actually built atop a desert, making it the second largest desert city in the world after Cairo in Egypt. The city sources its water from the Rimac River that cuts through it, but also, from a pre-Incan system of canals that brings rainwater from the Peruvian Andes mountains into the city.Important Info
