Llamas, Alpacas (domesticated), guanacos and vicuñas (wild)
Llamas and sometimes alpacas, the domesticated members of the camel family that are native to Peru, can be seen and photographed all around the Cuzco area. There are often several around the parking lots at Sacsayhuayman - all dolled up so you can photograph them (for a dollar or five). You have to get a little farther off the beaten path to see them on farms or out in the pastures but you'll likely see some on any trip through the sacred valley on your way to Machu Picchu. It's rare to see a real llama train these days, as there are roads providing access to more and more of the small villages around the mountain regions, but small ones are still used to take goods to and from remote towns. You'll most likely only see them if you go on long day hikes or backpacking into such towns. Check out Lonely Planet Trekking in the Central Andes for ideas. Vicuña or guanaco are most likely seen on trips through wildlife sanctuaries, national parks or on long trips such as the ride to the Colca Canyon from Arequipa.
Other mammals (vizcacha, deer, Andean foxes, etc.)
- Watch for the funny looking vizcacha, a member of the chinchilla family, in the highlands (it looks a little like a cross between a bunny and squirrel) - check out a photo. You might even catch a glimpse on one at Machu Picchu or other around other archaeological ruins.
- Deer - Andean deer (the mazama or brocket variety) are small, shy deer that are sometimes seen in remote locations, especially towards the end of the day. Keep your eyes peeled at wildlife sanctuaries, parks and on treks and maybe you'll get lucky.
- Andean fox - I've only seen one, so you'll have to get pretty lucky, but they do live everywhere.
- Sea mammals - sea lions (lobos del mar) abound at the Islas Ballestas and other coastal islands and preserves.

Birds
- General: Peruvian travel chamber of commerce website bird watching pages includes a birds of Peru photo gallery
- Andean Condor - the thrill of seeing an Andean Condor on a cold morning in the Colca Canyon is hard to beat. It's one reason to spend the night there and to get up early and take some hot chocolate or coca tea and a snack to watch as the sun hits the side of the canyon.
- Coastal and ocean birds can be seen at quieter locations all along the coast (pelicans and seagulls and other more gregarious birds are everywhere) but to see a much wider range including penguins and boobies take a trip to the Islas Ballestas . The coastal wildlife preserves along the south coast are also well worth a visit.
- The giant hummingbird is something to see - catch sight of it while wandering the ruins of the Sacred Valley
What did Spanish explorers find in Peru in 1532?
When Francisco Pizarro and his group of Spanish explorers arrived in Peru in 1532, they discovered that the so-called Vilcanota area was the home of a great empire ruled by a dynastic lineage called the Inca. The empire stretched from Colombia to central Chile, and from the Pacific Ocean to the eastern tropical jungles. This turned out to be the largest political system of the Native Tribes in the entire Western Hemisphere. The capital of the Inca empire was a city named Cuzco. Inca tradition listed only 13 Inca rulers. Under the reign of three rulers this empire expanded to the size just described. The names of these rulers were Pachacutec, Topa Yupanqui and Huayna Capac. They were the father, son, and granson of the powerful Incas. It is asaid that within a period of 87 years, from approximately 1438 AD BCE to 1525, they had conquered all the territory previously described. The empire was now headed, in 1532, by the emperor Sapa Inca. This was an absolute ruler who had an army founded upon relatives of the ruler.
In about four years, the Spainards, took over the empire, and its riches in gold.
