I want to visit Perú

I have always been atracted by a land with precolumbian architecture, especially considering that many of their cultural expressions suvive from that period. Like the food, the dressing, dances, arts, esthetic, music, but mor importantly; tha way of life of the people from the altiplano and andean zones. They are adapted for living on the heights and dedicated to raising llamas to use their wool. Other intersting aspect that I see on Perú is how the ancient cultures has desarrollated agriculture. The Incas cultivated on terraces to use the fall of the water on the andian slopes, an extremely smart system that has been used by many cultures around the world. But by far, the most impressive cultural advance that we can find exploring Peru is the development of astronomy by the Andean peoples. They had knowledge about changes of seasons, solstices, equinoxes. And know times of sowing and harvest. Those are some of the reasons that an anthropology student may have to visit Peru.
