Which explorer would have influenced you to want to immigrate from Europe to the area they explored? Use evidence about the explorer to support your reasoning.
Another reason why I would have wanted to immigrate to Peru would be to see where the many battles took place. Like the battle of Cusco, or the one with Atahuallpa. Just to see where a major recent battle took place. I could possibly find a piece of a weapon or bone.(Souvenir!) I think the only reason I wouldn't want to go is the climate. I heard that it's really hot there.
I would also like to hike Huayna Picchu, which is the name of the mountain right behind the great city of Machu Picchu. I heard that they have their own aqueduct system that runs through and around the mountain. I would really want to go see that. (Mr.Oney probably already has!) Also the city alone is beautiful, and it would be an amazing experience to call that area my home.
