Peru, the third largest country in South America, and its southeastern neighbor, western Bolivia, have a great deal to offer: The Andes, a paradise for hikers and mountaineers, boast deep canyons, the highest sand dunes, the highest navigable lake , and a major city with the largest public cable car network in the world. There are also seemingly endless rainforests with fantastic biodiversity and expansive (surfing) beaches. Added to this are the remnants of millennia-old cultures and the vibrant traditions of their descendants, as well as an unparalleled culinary diversity.
