My Trip to Peru by: Jessica C.

              Last summer I went on vacation to Peru. I went to Costa Verde beach and went surfing there, I went and saw Machu Picchu, and I went to Church and Covent of San Fransisco. It was hot and humid in some parts and others were dry deserts.

             Costa Verde is well known by many surfers worldwide and is also known as the green coast. Its sunny and bright all the time and the wind creates perfect waves for beginners and experts. I had tons of fun surfing their and it was super easy!

              When I was in Peru I went and visited Machu Piccu. The rubble of this lost city was spectacular! The temples were gigantic! It was tiering walking up the steps of the temple. Their was like a MILLION steps! Inside their was beautiful paintings on the wall. Their were also a lot of llamas their.

               Lastly, i visited church and covent of san Francisco. Inside it was beautiful! their were paintings everywhere and everything was plated in gold leaf. it was very decorated, every inch of it was decorated really fancy.

              after that I decided to go home, but it was still super fun and a trip that I will never forget!

                                       My Trip To Peru

           I just recently got back from my vacation to Peru. It was so fun!! I definitely want to 

go back soon! While I was there I visited  Machu Picchu, the Virgin of Candelaria Feast, and 

spotted many natural wonders of Peru.

             Machu Picchu is 7000 feet above sea level.  The Incan built structure is called the 

"Lost Cities". I hiked for hours on the Incan Trail, but it was totally worth it. The buildings 

looked really old. The areas were separated into 3 groups. One for agricultural, urban, and 

religious.
             The Virgin of Candelaria Feast was amazing!! I watched it on the second of February

but it went on until the first Sunday after it. 

This festival is presented in the following 

times: trials, novenas, abs festive candles 

entry, entry k'apos, eve, February 2, 

eighth, veneration, and cacharpari. The main dance was the 'Dance of the Devils'. It was 

made by a group of miners trapped in a mine, who tried to resign there souls to the Virgin   

de la Candelaria. 

              I spotted many natural wonders of Peru. This included the Amazon Rainforest,

which is home for nearly 3000 species of 

animals. I also visited the Manu National 

Park. The Manu National Park is one of 

the worlds most unspoiled tropical 

forests. I loved Peru!!

This was by far my best vacation ever!
