Peru

PE

the land where potatoes are a staple, but so are worries about the Inca Empire's tax bill.

Peru: where the Andes are so high, you'll need oxygen... and a good excuse for not finishing your homework.

Peru: a place where the food is so spicy, you'll cry... and then suddenly, a condor will fly by and you'll forget what you're eating.

Peru is home to over 3,000 varieties of potatoes.

The ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu was never found by the Spanish conquistadors and was only rediscovered in 1911.
