Peru Highlights

Peru is a feast for the senses.  Along the Coast you will experience world-class dining in Lima, exhilarating surf in the Northern beaches, and rest & relaxation in the South as you inhale the smell of the ocean and marvel at the nature in the Ballestas Islands and Paracas Reserve.  The Nazca Lines, in the Nazca desert, will baffle anyone with a curiosity for Peru’s archaeological past, and in Arequipa, la ciudad blanca or 'the white city', you will get a taste of Peru’s colonial history in the town’s attractive volcanic rock architecture. 

The enchanting mysticism of the Andes is unparalleled in the Sacred Valley and Cusco areas of the Southern Andes.  Ayacucho, the town of 33 churches, and the colourful culture of Lake Titicaca, with its floating reed island communities, will keep you charmed.  And if thrill and adventure is what you’re seeking head to Huaraz in the Northern Andes where the Cordillera Blanca will challenge you with its highest peaks. 

The intriguing Peruvian Amazon boasts indigenous communities that practice shamanism (hallucinogenic healing rituals) while cohabiting with the impenetrable jungle that surrounds them.  The Manu Reserve, the largest tropical park in South America, holding one of the greatest bio-diversities found within one reserve, instills a strong appreciation for the natural world and its powers.  Let your imagination flow as you hike through the lush jungle and waterfalls of Puerto Maldonado and Iquitos.

One thing is for certain, you will not run out of things to do in the Land of the Incas.
