From desert oases to rugged Andean cordilleras (mountain ranges), through rainforests and seaside cities, Peru’s landscape is the definition of diversity. This South American gem offers everything a visitor could wish for: ancient history, delicious cuisine, friendly locals, fascinating culture and staggering natural beauty. Come for Machu Picchu and stay for the heartwarming hospitality.
Thanks to its Incan and colonial roots, the streets of Peru are dynamic, dotted with baroque buildings and Quechua ruins, while its culture is as vibrant as its handicrafts. Sip coca tea by day and Pisco sours by night in otherworldly Cusco, sample ceviche by the sea in Lima, dune board in Huacachina and meet llamas in the Sacred Valley. Peru is a true delight for the spirited traveller.
