The places section contains a region-by-region breakdown; with top attractions highlighted and cross-referenced to detailed local maps. To whet your appetite, photo features in full-colour double page spreads show some of the country's most exotic sights, including the Amazon birdlife and the weavers of Lake Tititcaca.
