- Peru is one of the most fascinating countries in Latin America, not only for its diverse landscapes, but also for its cultural richness. The legacy of the pre-Columbian civilizations is particularly unique. In addition to the famous cloud cities of Kuelap and Machu Picchu and the Inca metropolis of Cuzco, archaeological sites in the coastal desert are also real hotspots – such as the oldest city in America, Caral, the adobe city of Chan Chan, the Pyramids of the Moon and the Sun, and the temple city of Pachacamac. The Nazca Lines, which can only be recognized as such from high above, have an almost mystical appeal. Artists, including Ricardo Wiesse, feel a magical attraction. In an interview with Mijail Palacios Yabar of the newspaper Peru21, he confesses: "It's impossible to be indifferent to the Nazca Lines. They're like a gigantic canvas that's the focus of my dreams, my imagination; they're so overwhelming. I've flown over them many times, every possible way. I took my first flight when I was 20. It was like losing my virginity (smiling)."
