Manchu Picchu

Machu Picchu includes of around 140 structures with terraced fields nearby. It was thought to be an estate of the emperor. It is believed that the Incas were some of the best masons in the world. Legend has it, that when an Inca placed two stones together, no one would have even been able to place a knife between the stones due to their precision and accuracy in carving. Purrs, Gulliver

Brazil

Oohhh, I ate too much Feijoada, it was so good! Brazil’s national dish is a stew made of black beans, pork (including earns, knuckles, chops and sausage) and dried beef. It is served with rice, decorated with collard greens and sliced oranges. It is a hearty dish; restaurants regularly serve it on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Brazil is the only Latin American nation whose language and culture come from Portugal. The early explorers brought back a wood that produced a red dye, “pau-brasil”, from which the land received its name. Brazilians are one of the most welcoming people in the world; foreigners are treated with respect and often with admiration.
