Once Chancay is fully up and running, goods from Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and even Brazil are expected to pass through it on their way to Shanghai and other Asian ports.
China already has considerable appetite for the region's exports, including Brazilian soybeans and Chilean copper. Now this new port will be able to handle larger ships, as well as cutting shipping times from 35 to 23 days.

Inka stonemasons cut stones with incredible precision, often without the use of metal tools. They fit the stones together so perfectly that not even a piece of paper can be inserted between them. The stones were shaped using a combination of percussion tools and abrasion techniques, resulting in highly accurate joints.
• No Mortar: Unlike many ancient structures, Inka walls were constructed without mortar. The stones were meticulously shaped and polished to fit together in a way that ensured stability and strength.
• Seismic Resistance: The Inka were aware of the seismic activity in the Andes. They designed their walls with slight inclinations and trapezoidal shapes, making them more resistant to earthquakes. The interlocking stones could move slightly without collapsing, absorbing seismic shocks effectively.

Machu Picchu might be its star attraction, but this south American favourite is hardly a one-trick pony, and visits here reward those who plan in advance.

Peru is often considered one of the most beautiful countries in the world due to its diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and historical significance. It boasts a variety of stunning sites, including:

1. **Machu Picchu:** The iconic Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains.
2. **Sacred Valley:** A region with picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and significant archaeological sites.
3. **Amazon Rainforest:** One of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.
4. **Lake Titicaca:** The highest navigable lake in the world, known for its floating islands and traditional cultures.
5. **Nazca Lines:** Mysterious geoglyphs in the desert whose origins and purposes are still debated.
6. **Colca Canyon:** One of the deepest canyons in the world, offering breathtaking views and opportunities to see Andean condors.

Beauty is subjective, and what makes a country the "most beautiful" can vary based on individual preferences. While many travelers find Peru exceptionally beautiful, other countries like New Zealand, Switzerland, and Italy are also frequently cited for their stunning landscapes and cultural attractions. Ultimately, the "most beautiful" country is often a matter of personal opinion.
