		<description><![CDATA[When one thinks of Peru, sandy beaches don&#8217;t often come to mind. Ancient ruins and incredible landscapes maybe, but not cocktails and sun-loungers. Peru does, however, have it&#8217;s fair share of pleasant beaches. If you&#8217;re looking for a Peruvian seaside town there are a couple of options, including Huanchaco, Mancora and even Lima (if you [&#8230;]]]></description>

You cannot physically set foot on the islands but a boat tour will take you close enough to see all the sealife and make you feel emersed in [&#8230;]]]></description>

Called the &#8220;oasis of America,&#8221; it serves as a resort for local families from the nearby city of Ica, and increasingly as an attraction [&#8230;]]]></description>

The 15th century Inca ruins were lost to the world when the Incas abandoned it during the Spanish Conquest but were &#8216;re-discovered&#8217; in 1911 when Hiram Bingham [&#8230;]]]></description>
