TAMBOPATA NATIONAL PARK
Tambopata National Reserve is located south Madre de Dios River in the district of Tambopata e Inambari and the province of Tambopata, Madre de Dios.
Madre de Dios has become the commercial area of the Amazon Rainforest because of its easy access to the Peruvian Jungle and the extraction of gold, wood and high-quality chestnut. However, these activities cause a huge negative impact on the sustainability of the Rainforest. That is why there are several programs of conservation and controlled tourism to protect the flora and fauna.

CUSCO
Cusco is the oldest continuously inhabited city in America. It was the religious and administrative center of the immense Inca Empire. Those who came from the city were saluted with respect by those going to see it, and upon arrival people knelt and prayed for having the privilege of seeing Cusco.
For the Incas, Cusco was the center of the world, and thus all the roads led to Cusco. Many of them can be still walked upon and some of them have been turned into the present highways. Because of the geographical features of the Vilcanota and the Urubamba valleys, and the presence of trails and Inca remains, this area provides some of the best trekking on the continent; not only snowcapped mountains, but also sub-tropical valleys and even jungle trips due to the proximity of the amazon basin to the city of Cusco.
Cusco lies at 3399 meters above sea level and is an excellent place to acclimatize before starting on any trek, because the city has all the facilities of modern life due to the increasing flow of tourism.
About 30 miles from Cusco is the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a fertile slash of green in the centre of the inhospitable Andes. The Valley is even now, a place of extraordinary peace and beauty, guarded at its two ends by the massive fortresses of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, it was the Incas’ granary, feeding both Cusco and the Lost City of Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu was clearly an extremely important city, strategically placed at the gateway between the Andes and the jungle, its position so well chosen, that there are still only two possible - and difficult - approaches, either along the Urubamba River or over the high passes of the Andes. The traditional Inca Trail was the ancient Inca highway that connected Cusco with Machu Picchu via the high Andean route. The actual route has been reconstructed from a
series of old Inca paths, first along the river and then up into the cloud-forested mountainsides to join the main trail and descend into the Lost City on foot.
CORDILLERA BLANCA AND HUAYHUASH
The Cordillera Blanca on the Northern Peruvian Andes is the world´s largest concentration of glaciers lying within the tropical zone. Along its 180 km length twenty to thirty peaks rise above 6,000 meters, depending on whether such muti-peaked mountains as Pucahirca and Huandoy are counted as one or four another thirty are higher than 5,700m Nevado Huascaran (6,768 m) is the world´s highest mountain in the tropical zone, and the second highest on the Andes along the Pacific Ocean. This magnificent mountain range has attracted trekkers and climbers for many years, and is now the most popular hiking region in South America. The mountains are very accessible because the western side of the Cordillera is interrupted by fifteen glacial valleys, creating ideal routes wich lead past the peaks west of the main crest and into the center of the range.
To preserve from progressive destruction the flora, fauna, archeological sites and scenic beauty of the Cordillera Blanca, the Huascaran National Park was created in 1975. Qeñual and Quishuar woods and the spectacular Puya Raimondi are under the protected flora, as well as the Taruca and spectacled fauna.
