Peru travel guide: Lima

Peru

Peru is a land that has it all: desert coasts, high Andes Mountains, and the mighty Amazon Jungle. Read this short Peru travel guide that we’re crafted for you and get to know the amazing and unmissable spots of this land! Desert, Mountains, Jungle all in combination with the treasures of the Inca Empire and their precursors of the ancient Wari, Chavín, and Chimú civilizations.
Today traditions and connection to nature live strong, and they have been fortified by a burgeoning explosion of Peruvian fusion cuisine in Lima. As you may find in all Peru travel guide, this is a destination that offers the pleasure of luxury accommodations and the unequivocal joy of escaping to the great outdoors.

Machu Picchu deservedly holds the mantle as the prime destination in Latin America, and, luckily for you, it is generally included in all Peru travel packages. No photograph does justice to the feeling of feasting your eyes on this wonder of the Inca empire. We recommend taking a day hike from the lofty Sun Gate to truly appreciate this iconic landmark, definitely one of the most famous places in Peru. Your route will include the Sacred Valley of the Inca and ancient Cusco.

The Amazon jungle is a must-do destination as well listen in all Peru travel guide, and there are essentially two options to visit this: a luxury cruise adventure at Iquitos or a luxury lodge stay in the Tambopata region. In these times of increasing pressure on our natural world, it is the perfect place to visit and see flora and fauna in a hugely diverse ecosystem. In our modern world, it is beyond comparison to switch off from technology and open your senses to the wonderment of mother nature.

We’re not done yet with the famous places in Peru! Another iconic destination is Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, Colca Canyon (twice as deep as the Grand Canyon USA), and the lesser visited Choquequirao, Chachapoyas, and Kuelap. Peru also is a great combination destination with Galapagos, Bolivia, Chile, or Argentina as prime companions.
