It is nice to know that Peru hides so many curiousities and magnificent views. There should be defenetly more commercials on this country so that tourists could come in much number, also visa should'nt be problem or any kind of strict security. For example I want to know what kind of food they eat,what do they do for a living , which are the customs and traditions for main celebrations? All these can bring a lot of tourists and develope the tourist side of the country.
