Answer 5

well, there's a lot of facts, it depends what are you looking for because we have a lot of archaeological places for visit, lately we are knowing as a gastronomic country... I think one of the special stuff that we have is that we have the richest bio-diversities of Earth, i mean we have 3 natural regions: coast, highlands and jungle; and every region has his own culture and festivities and life is very different in each one....
