Peru
Inca city Machu Picchu is the magnet that draws many visitors to Peru, but with landscapes ranging from the snowy peaks of the Andes -- home to soaring condor birds -- to the lush, wildlife-filled rainforest around the source of the mighty Amazon river, this South American country has so much more to offer. Capital Lima has an internationally renowned food scene while inland colonial city Cusco is a charming gateway to the ancient treasures of the Sacred Valley and the sprawling hilltop Lost City of Choquequirao, arguably Peru's greatest wonder. From there, an epic train ride connects to Titicaca, South America's largest lake, where the Uros people live on floating man-made islands. Not enough? There's also the mysterious desert-carved Nazca Lines and the mummified remains of cliff-dwelling Chahapoyan "people of the clouds."

New York
It’s the most happening of cities, a place where over 200 languages are spoken and millions flock each year to see its world-famous sights. New York draws visitors in like nowhere else. The crowded streets of Manhattan are the stuff of legend. First timers will want to head to the top of the Empire State Building and stand beneath the glare of the lights of Times Square. But there’s so much more to see and do, whether it’s catching an Off-Broadway play, checking out world class art at MoMA or shopping the streets of SoHo. Brooklyn’s hip neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Fort Greene offer a more relaxed vibe, while the food in Queens’ Chinatown is worth the long subway ride.
