Peru, a country located in the Western South America with variety of landscapes, abundance of wildlife and a rich archeological heritage, is a top travel destination. The resplendent beauty of Peru is not limited to beautiful landscapes and archeological heritage. Renowned as 'Land of Incas', travelers can marvel at the sophistication of pre-Colombian cultures and explore the many legacies left by the imperial Inca Empire, particularly the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco.
Machu Picchu, the perfectly fitted stone empire discovered after several centuries is the main attraction to people who visits Peru. It is regarded as the most significant archaeological site in South America and one of the finest examples of landscape architecture in the world. Travelers can explore many legacies, undiscovered treasures and unsolved mysteries behind this lost city of Inca. Several landmarks along the legendary ancient royal Inca highways, floating islands, colonial cities, deepest canyon etc, contain major works of Spanish arts and architecture. Major notable buildings like Plaza Mayor and Plaza San Martin, Museo de la Nacion, Church of San Francisco are also some of the perfect urban attractions.
Besides the historical and cultural richness, Peru also offers an abundance of adventure mixed with leisure. A comfortable trip into the depth of the jungle in Iquitos can gift you an intimate contact with the nature of Amazonian forests, help you surf at the heavenly Mancora Beach and provide you a walking trail over the Peruvian Andes. Peru is also home to a handful of national parks and reserves. These represent a very good example of natural diversity and ecological unity.
June through September is the peak time for Peru travel. This period coincides with the cooler dry season in the Andean highlands and summer vacation in North America and Europe. This is the best and also the busiest time to go trekking on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and climbing, hiking and mountain biking elsewhere. Travelling to this attractive South American destination is quite easy and inexpensive with the availability of frequent flights. Many international flights, packed with thousands of tourists from around the world arrive daily at Lima's Jorge Chavez International Airport. From thereon, surface transport is also well-maintained. Bus, express trains and taxis ply to specific destinations within the country making it easy for tourists to access their preferred destinations.
Shopping in Peru can be quite an experience with the Peruvian capital having the highest number of shops and selection of goods from across the country.
Thriving traditional culture, ancient ruins, archaeological treasures, and magnificent colonial architecture make Peru one of the most appealing holiday destinations to be visited.
