Alina C. Trip To Peru!

       

                                       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!
