They say there are two ways to get to know a country, or perhaps the world: travel through it or read about it. Or both. Peru has wonderful places such as Cuzco, Abancay, the beaches of the north or Arequipa.
The Word «Solstice’ comes from the Latin solstitium, meaning sun and statum, or stationary sun. It occurs at a time of year when the sun is over one of the tropics, making the day or night the longest of the year.
It usually occurs around 21 June. For those in the northern hemisphere, it is the summer solstice, bringing the longest day and shortest night. In the southern hemisphere, it is the winter solstice and means the opposite: the shortest day and longest night. Both have one thing in common: the rituals, celebrations and traditions centred on the sun as a symbol of rebirth and hope.

Cusco’s best-kept secret is Cerro Colorado, an impressive mountain site at 5000 metres above sea level. The mountain owes its colours to a geological process in which different strata formed multicoloured layers: ochres, reds, whites and blues are intermingled to create a magical effect. It forms a magnificent backdrop to one of the world’s most sought-after hiking routes, renowned for its beauty.
There are many lakes in the world, formed by a wide variety of geological processes and forces within the earth. What distinguishes many of them is the life that thrives around them in all its forms, from unspoilt nature to human activity. Water is life.
