My Trip To Peru

I chose to take a trip to Peru for many reasons:- First, I wanted to go and see the Amazon River

(which is mostly in Brazil but there is a good starting portion in Peru)

- Second, I want to go and see the amazing Incan sites they have in Peru

- Lastly, I decided I want to go Peru’s northern areas. It is said that the northern Peru has very beautiful waterfalls and rivers. They also have, hiking, biking, and walking trails.
