If marvelling at ancient cities, outstanding heritage and incredible scenery found nowhere else is what draws you to a destination, Peru is as exotic as it can possibly get. Home to part of the Amazon rainforest, the Andes mountain range and the historic city of Cusco, the real wonder lies in world heritage site Machu Picchu, a lost Incan city set high in the Andes mountains.

Getting to Peru
International flights go direct to Lima, but for those destinations which don't fly direct you can reach the country via many of the South American hubs.
General Information
A mountainous country with an incredible history, Peru is one for the bucket list. From the famous lost city of Machu Picchu in the soaring peaks of the Andes to the fastness of the Amazon jungle, there’s a lot to explore. Take the Inca trail into the mountains and discover the remains of the Inca civilisation.
It was an impressive culture and society, but it didn’t last for long against the invading conquistadors. The city of Machu Picchu was probably used as a royal retreat. It was lost to history until it was “rediscovered”. Machu Picchu is now one of the great wonders of Latin America.
You’ll find many world-class hotels to choose from in Peru, from well-established brands to charming boutique options. The food scene is also a big draw.
What Everyone Does In Peru
Explore the capital city of Lima. Classic colonial architecture, modern buildings and bustling streets vie with the surrounding peaks of the Andes. Lima boasts a great collection of pre-conquistador art. If you like fish you must try ceviche.
Of course a trip to Peru wouldn’t be complete without a trip to iconic Machu Picchu.
What Some People Do In Peru
Get off the beaten track with a visit to Lake Titicaca, South America’s largest lake and the world’s highest navigable body of water. The lake borders both Peru and Bolivia, and is surrounded by incredible mountains and glaciers. Be sure to visit the Uros Islands – a group of small artificial islands that are home to the Uros people – an indigenous group that predate the Incas!
What No One Else Does In Peru
Explore the Peruvian Amazon on a luxurious all-inclusive river cruise – complete with exquisite staterooms, gourmet food and premium beverages. Spend your days hiking the jungle and admiring the unique wildlife, then come home to your private jacuzzi. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, an Amazonian river cruise has something for everyone.
