Peru, a country of extremes: from garbage and poverty to fantastic roads and scenery...and of course Machu Picchu....wow!!!
At first glance after the border crossing, Peru is a place that you do not want to be. The Pan-American Highway is strewn with garbage. The desert sand is one big dump. This, coupled with extreme poverty, makes Peru very undesireable. Until you venture inland!!! Then you can see what Peru has to offer: fantastic mountain passes and scenery that rival anything we have seen. Machu Picchu is definitely a highlight of the trip.
