Welcome to South America!  After North America, we traveled south, where we learned about the Amazon Rain Forest, Machu Picchu, books delivered on donkeys, instruments made from recycled materials, and so much more.  This continent has some beautiful and remarkable places and people.  I hope this video will inspire you to explore it!

*Note: Lima is the current capitol of Peru. Cuzco was the center of the Inca Empire.
