description: Prized for its natural beauty, rich history, and architectural wonders, Peru is the number-one destination in South America, and tourism is booming amidst the country's current political stability. From the publisher and editor of the legendary South America Handbook comes the fourth edition of the Peru Handbook, a leading source of quality, up-to-date travel facts. Editor Ben Box, aka Mr. South America, shares his irrepressible love for Peru, leading readers in exploring the country's grandeur and variety. A new-and-improved table of contents and a new front map highlighting the best sights help visitors plan their trip, and full-color maps cross-referenced with the text aid readers in deciding where to stay, eat, and take in the local culture. Sixteen pages of full-color photographs inspire travelers to visit the country's classic Inca sites such as Machu Picchu as well as embark on adventure travel expeditions, from white-water rafting in the Cordillera Blanca to trekking through the Amazonian jungle. The book includes a section on Spanish for travelers, with basic language to kick-start the learning curve.
