A country I would like to visit

There are a million of countries that I haven't visit and I would never will in my whole life. It is difficult to decide one country to visit because I think every country has it beauty and things that makes it unique. From all the countries I would choose Peru. Although I think that many countries in Europe, Asia, have a lot of history and, because of that, have a lot to visit and learn from them, I feel that first I need to know a lot from my own country. I was born in Peru and since little that I go all the summers to visit my family, but still I only know Lima, a couple of beaches and Ica. Lima is very similar to Santiago, but I admit that I prefer Santiago rather than Lima. Still, Peru, the same as Chile, have very beautiful places in the north and south and that are worthy to visit.
I have friends that aren't Peruvian and have visit more places than me. I have 20 years old and still I haven't visit Machu Picchu, Cuzco, the jungle and many others important places that I need to visit not only because it's my country but also because of cultural knowledge.
All the people I know, and that visited all these places, have amazed when I tell them that I don't know any of the places. All of them have told me that the places are amazing, very interesting and especially Cuzco is beautiful because of the vegetation and the ruins and the history the city has.
I think that first I need to learn about my own home before getting to know other countries. Maybe it sounds more interesting travel to some part of Europe or Asia, but I think that everybody has to learn about its own country, reason why schools teach about "Historia de Chile", and because I left Peru when I was a baby I didn't have the opportunity to learn about Peru.
I will continue travelling all the summers to Peru to visit my family and I hope someday I visit other places and not only the beaches and Lima. But sometimes it's difficult when I'm with my family that I only have the chance to see one time during the whole year.
