Exploring Peru: Land of Wonders and Rich History

Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then, we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Amanda Bower, on an audio adventure.

Today, we’re off to a country where you can swim at Pacific Ocean beaches, trek through the Amazon jungle, and hike the Andes mountains—all without leaving the country's borders! It's a place where you’ll find ancient cities built by the mighty Inca Empire, where potatoes were first cultivated, and where people still speak a language inspired by the sounds of nature. So, buckle up and get ready to discover Peru!
