My nanna, Maria, comes from Peru. If you don’t know where that is,<br />

it’s in South America, near Chile and Brazil.<br />

Nanna left Peru when she was little. But she has always wanted to go<br />

back. So last holidays, Mum, Dad and I took her back for a visit.<br />

NICARAGUA<br />

I had never been to Peru<br />

before. But I knew a little bit COSTA<br />

<strong>RIC</strong>A<br />

about it from Nanna. It has<br />

jungles, lots of interesting<br />

ECUADOR<br />

plants and animals, deserts<br />

and mountains. Big mountains!<br />

And in these mountains is a really<br />

old city called Machu Picchu. It<br />

was built by the Incas, a group of<br />

people living there long ago. Machu<br />

Picchu is sometimes called ‘the lost city<br />

of the Incas’ because for a long time it<br />

was forgotten. I really wanted to see it.<br />

PANAMA<br />

First we visited some of Nanna’s family in<br />

Lima, the capital city. <strong>The</strong>y were nice, but<br />

they mostly spoke Spanish. So I couldn’t<br />

understand what they were saying. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

food, clothing and music were so different<br />

from what I’m used to.<br />

After a couple of days in Lima we went<br />

to Cusco. That’s where Machu Picchu is. We had to walk up very<br />

steep paths. I don’t know how the Incas built this city so high! It was<br />

amazing. We saw a stone table the Incas used for sacrifices. This<br />

means killing animals and sometimes children to make their gods<br />

happy. I was glad there were no Incas there now!<br />

Peru is a really interesting and beautiful place. You should go there if<br />

you get the chance!<br />
