Callao is your port of entry to the glittering, elegant city of Lima, the darling of Peru. Founded by Pizarro and the Conquistadors, the capital city today offers priceless collections ranging from the Museum of Gold to the Museum of Anthropology and Archeology. Pizarro's remains can be found in the Cathedral, built in 1746. From Lima, you can also take a tour to Machu Picchu, the mysterious lost city of the Incas high in the Andes, or to Cuzco, the capital of the Incan Empire.

This sleepy fishing village lends its name to the grape brandy that is produced here. Excursions from Pisco include visits Tambo Colorado, a site of well-preserved Inca ruins; flights over the mysterious, giant geoglyphs drawn in the earth's surface near the town of Nasca; and cruises to the Ballestas Islands, a nature sanctuary where you can observe a wealth of wildlife such as pelicans, cormorants and sea lions.

Arica is nestled along Chile's Pacific coast. The city is the gateway to El Morro. To the south are the dunes of the Atacama Desert. Many Bolivians come to Arica, largely for its splendid beaches. Visit the nearby citrus and olive groves. The celebrated Pan-American Highway also makes Arica a hub for transportation and trade.

Iquique is one of Chile's liveliest cities, largely due to its establishment as a free-trade zone. Iquique is on a rocky peninsula, part of the Atacama Desert. Iquique was once Chile's main port, thanks to the booming nitrate trade of the turn of the last century. Tourists today are attracted by sport fishing and gorgeous beaches.

Between Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia on the coast of Chile, massive glaciers grind beautiful fjords where the land meets the sea. Watch the soaring Andean condors. Other local fauna include orcas, seals, penguins, and petrels. There is no reason to be spooked by the sight of an albatross, either--they are actually quite a beautiful sight.
