General Information

Discover the captivating allure of Peru! Immerse yourself in ancient wonders, explore diverse landscapes, and be enchanted by the warmth of its people. From the awe-inspiring ruins of Machu Picchu to the mysterious depths of the Amazon rainforest, Peru offers an extraordinary voyage of exploration and cultural immersion.
Peru is the most diverse country on the face of the Earth. You can find almost every type of weather here as well as world records for the number of butterflies, orchids, birds, whales, and other animal groups. Deserts, unending beaches, snowcapped mountains, enchanted lakes, inter-Andean valleys, cloud forests, and jungles that stretch to the horizon and divided by the longest, mightiest river in the world, the Amazon.
If we had to make a list of other impressive sites, then we would be obliged to top it with Machu Picchu, recently voted one of the new 7 Wonders of the World, followed by incredible Pre-Incan sites like the Nasca Lines, mud temples from the Moche civilization, and marvelous terraced hillsides along the Colca Valley, each an extraordinary testimony of people who lived in these lands long before the Incas.
