Touring Peru: Boasting a 2000-mile desert coastline, mountains with peaks ranging over 20,000 feet and the world’s largest tropical rainforest, Peru is a country of indisputable beauty and diversity. On Tuesday, November 16, 2004 at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) Travel Channel chief correspondent Peter Greenberg joins Peru’s President Alejandro Toledo for a royal tour of this majestic land in Travel Channel’s "Peru: The Royal Tour."
This whirlwind tour of Peru begins in the Presidential Palace in Lima, where the president shares with Peter the incredible story of how he, one of 16 children, became the first descendent of the Incas to be elected president.
The tour is jump-started as Peter and President Toledo are whisked away via presidential jet to the northern coastal city of Trujillo. In this traditional fishing village, Peter and the president take a dip in the Pacific with the locals and try some authentic Peruvian cuisine before heading on to their next destination.
Soon enough, the duo board a helicopter bound for the Amazon city of Iquitos, where a hundred-mile climb upriver reveals a remote indigenous community. Here, they’re greeted by President Toledo’s wife, the first lady of Peru, Eliane Karp, and welcomed by the native community with traditional dancing. And Later, Peter and the president are given a quick lesson in using “poison darts” and get up close and personal with a boa constrictor.
Next, they’re off to the city of Cuzco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where Peter will ride the rapids and “paddle for his life” -- literally.
Later, Peter and President Toledo ride by helicopter to the ancient city of Machu Picchu. Climbing the renowned Inca Trail on foot, 2,500 meters above sea level, they catch a bird’s-eye view of the magical Inca ruins.
The journey continues as Peter and the president swim with sea otters in Caracas, ride Peruvian horses and sand buggies across the desert and finally, visit the president’s beloved hometown in the towering Andes Mountains.
In just five days, Peter and President Toledo will swim in the sparkling Pacific, witness the endless green of the Amazon rainforest and take in the sights of the majestic Andes. Along the way, viewers will witness the breathtaking ruins of ancient civilizations and meet the descendents who live to tell their stories.

From Daily Variety: By Michael Learmonth, regarding of the new “Life & Style Weekly,” which Bauer Publishing launched this week:
“Thin editorial is as much a Bauer trademark as thin advertising. 'In Touch,' for example, relies heavily on paparazzi photographs and appears to lack access to many of the big-name stars it covers. Instead, the magazine calls in experts to opine on what might be going through Britney Spears' head during her surprise wedding and brazenly lifts quotes from other publications. Boehle says the magazine has no dictum against paying for sources but rarely does so, and the magazine is upfront about guaranteeing celebrities positive treatment.”
