Peru's heritage layers Inca and earlier worlds. Machu Picchu, the Inca estate brought to wide notice in 1911, perches at about 2,430 m above the Urubamba. The former imperial capital Cusco fuses Inca stonework with Spanish baroque, gateway to the Sacred Valley. Etched into the southern desert, the Nazca Lines trace giant geoglyphs of monkeys, hummingbirds and spirals. Near Trujillo, the adobe citadel of Chan Chan was the largest mud-brick city in the pre-Columbian Americas.
