Travel to the famous lost city of Machu Picchu, or the mysterious Nazca Lines to the steamy jungles of the Amazon, Peru has adventure and enchantment everywhere.

The ancient Incas once ruled the entire area and their descendents still speak dozens of Quechua dialects, all related to the old tongue of the Incas.

The blending of Spanish and indigenous races has produced a proud and beautiful Peruvian people and culture. This culture is rich in color, music, dance, cuisine and a unique spirit of loving life.

The clothing made from alpaca fleece is highly prized for it's softness, warmth, lack of itchiness and beauty. Some of the more popular garments are ear flap hats, sweaters, ponchos, socks, gloves and mittens.

Usually these are made with very vibrant colors that always look great together, even if it seems they should not. The beauty of the patterns and intricacy of the weave tells of the craftsmanship of the artisan.
