PERU
Dramatic volcanoes and canyons, high-altitude lakes, unique Andean cultures, historic cities, beautiful beaches, and extreme adventure sports, Peru has it all.
This western South American country is also one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world and has habitats ranging from Pacific coastal regions to lofty Andean peaks to dense Amazonian rainforests to vast stretches of arid desert. Many of the Peruvian cities are also steeped in history while others serve as gateways to major Peruvian attractions.
WHERE TO GO
With a wealth of incredible historical sites as well as fantastic cuisine, lavish colonial architecture and stunning natural settings, Peru’s cities really need to be seen to be believed. The diversity of the cities in Peru makes for fascinating exploring and visitors to this marvelous country will fall in love with all of the sights that are on offer.
LIMA
Lima’s rich history, architecture, and culture act as tourist magnets drawing people from all corners of the globe. At its peak, Lima was the main hub of politics in South America. Today, the historic center of Lima with its many churches, mansions, and monasteries remind one of the bygone eras.
CUSCO
Formerly the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is mesmerising to wander around as decadent colonial cathedrals jostle for supremacy with the Inca temples and modern fast-food joints that line its ancient cobbled streets. The city is simply breathtaking for its historical sites and rich cultural heritage.
AREQUIPA
Lying at the foot of the towering El Misti volcano, Arequipa’s mountainous setting makes it beautiful to behold as, remarkably, another four volcanoes lie near to the city. Distinct from the rest of the country, the stunning array of lavish colonial architecture greets you as you wander around the streets.
AYACUCHO
Located high up in the Andes, the area surrounding Ayacucho has been inhabited for around 20,000 years and as such there are a plethora of amazing archaeological sites hidden away among the mountains surrounding the city. Visitors to Ayacucho are invariably intrigued and stirred by its unique cultural heritage.
PUNO
Despite lacking the colonial architecture and historical sites that dot other Peruvian cities, Puno has a lot going for it. Its rich cultural heritage shines forth in the people themselves and the welcoming and atmospheric bars that are to be found everywhere in Puno. Many people visit Puno as it lies on the shores of Lake Titicaca.
TRUJILLO
Lying in a verdant valley surrounded by arid desert, Trujillo’s close proximity to the ocean means that you can be lounging on the beach in no time at all and as such there is a lot of good seafood to be found here. The old town is ravishing to behold with its lovely colonial facades and old churches.
WHAT TO DO
Peru has so much more to offer than crumbling ruins. Discover thePeruvian delights, from pre-Columbian settlements to the modern and traditional cities of the Southern Peru Tourist Corridor. Explore the museums of Lima, soak in the hot springs of high-altitude Cusco, and fly over the astonishing Nazca lines.
MACHU PICCHU
Perched high upon a ridge, 300 meters above the Urubamba River, the majestic Inca City of Machu Picchu is one of the most dramatic settings of a ruined city anywhere in the world. Almost as impressive as the ruins themselves is the spectacular backdrop of steep, lush, and often cloud-shrouded mountains.
THE INCA TRAIL
The famous Inca Trail is a four-day hike, which terminates at Machu Picchu, and is regarded by many as the highlight of their trip to Peru. This scenic trail is often more demanding than what many people are expecting, but also more rewarding. A couple of different starting points for the Inca Trail exist.
COLCA CANYON
Although it was once thought to be the deepest canyon in the world, Colca Canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, is the second deepest after nearby Cotahuasi Canyon. The canyon reaches a depth of 3,400 meters and is the result of a seismic fault between two volcanoes. At the base far below is a winding river.
THE SACRED VALLEY
Less than an hour’s drive north of Cusco is the beautiful Sacred Valley. This fertile valley has many Inca ruins worth exploring but is also a peaceful area to spend some time wandering through markets or soaking up local culture. Main highlights in the valley are the Pisac Ruins, the Sunday Market in Pisac.
THE BALLESTAS ISLANDS
The main reason to come to Pisco, about 200 kilometers south of Lima, is to see the nearby Islas Ballestas. Almost directly west of Pisco, the Islas Ballestas, sometimes referred to as the “poor man’s Galapagos,” are home to hundreds of thousands of birds, large colonies of sea lions, pelicans, penguins, and dolphins.
CORDILLERA BLANCA
A stunning area of mountains and valleys, the Cordillera Blanca draws mountain climbers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world. The Cordillera Blanca is home to Peru’s highest peak, Huascaran. Also located in the same area of the Andes are sixteen other mountains over 6,000 meters in height.
