The Inca period was a very short period of the History of the precolumbian Amerindian civilizations of the Andes. The Incas begun expanding less than 60 years before Columbus discovered America.

Some cool non inca ruins would be Chan Chan, which I would advise visiting if you want to do some tourism. The Museum of the lord of Sipan is good too. Lima also has good colonial architecture, it was the most important South American city during the Spanish Empire, the Capital of the Viceroyalty.
Lake Titicaca would be good too.

The beaches in Peru are not good, the water is cold because of the Humboldt Current.

On Humala, he presented himself in the past as a pro Chavez candidate, and he lost elections because of that.

He had to turn to the center and show, or at least pretend to show, that he is closer to a Lula da Silva (the ex president of Brazil, moderate modern leftist) and not a Peruvian Chavez in order to win the election.

I don't think he will become a new Chavez. The majority of the electorate is free-tradeish, Humala won only because Kimiko is the daughter of Fujimori.
