Peru Travel Guide

Best things to do, itineraries & tips for Peru

Peru is best known for the sacred archaeological site of Machu Picchu and is visited every year by dozens of hikers who hike the Inca Trail to explore the ancient ruins. The country’s attractions extend far beyond this legendary location and include archaeological treasures that predate Machu Picchu by hundreds of years, Peru’s Amazon rainforest, Lima’s delicious restaurants, beautiful architecture and vibrant nightlife, the mountainous waters of Lake Titicaca, and the bustling city of Cusco, also known as ‘the center of the world’ by the Incas.
