This rhyming text travels from Lake Titicaca all the way to the city of Cusco for the marvellous Inti Raymi Festival. Young readers meet children from many areas of southern Peru who are travelling to the festival, each using a different mode of transport. It includes useful notes on the history and culture of Peru. It comes from the bestselling author of "We All Went on Safari" (PB: 9781841487823) with over 200,000 copies sold! It features informative notes with interesting facts about the Inti Raymi festival and the amazing Andes mountains, as well as information about the indigenous peoples, the history of Peru and a map.
