DISCOVER PERU
TOP SIGHTS, AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES
Peru is as complex as its most intricate and exquisite weavings. Festivals mark ancient rites, the urban vanguard beams innovation and nature brims with splendid diversity.
Perus rich cultural heritage is never more real and visceral than when you are immersed street-side in the swirling madness of a festival. Deities of old are reincarnated as Christian saints, pilgrims climb mountains in the dead of night and icons are paraded through crowded plazas. History is potent here and still pulsing, and there is no better way to experience it.
Visitors make pilgrimage to the glorious Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, yet this feted site is just a flash in a 5000-year history of peoples. Explore the dusted remnants of Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian ruins in all the Americas. Fly over the puzzling geoglyphs etched into the arid earth at Nazca. And spend time in Limas great museums, which reveal the sophistication and skill of these lost civilizations.
Few destinations have such madly diverse terrain. From the glaciated peaks of the Cordilleras to the sweltering untamed Amazon the worlds most biodiverse forest Peru dazzles with opportunities to explore outdoors. Trekking routes abound, rafting is increasingly popular, as is mountain biking and surfing. Then grab your binoculars to see a staggering array of bird and animal life.
One question haunts all Peruvians: what to eat? Ceviche with slivers of fiery chili and corn, slowsimmered stews, velvety Amazonian chocolate in the capital of Latin cooking, the choices dazzle.
Giant sand dunes, chiseled peaks and Pacific breaks a few heartbeats away from the capitals rush- hour traffic: take this big place in small bites and dont rush. And thats when you realize: in Peru the adventure usually lies in getting there.
One of the most famous ruins on the planet
A fantastic Inca citadel lost to the world until its rediscovery in the early 20th century, stands as a ruin among ruins. With its emerald terraces backed by steep peaks, and Andean ridges echoing on the horizon, the sight simply surpasses the imagination. This marvel of engineering has withstood six centuries of earthquakes, foreign invasion and howling weather (not to mention millions of foreign travelers). Discover it for yourself: wander through the stone temples and scale the dizzying heights.

Mysterious giant geoglyphs
Made by aliens? Laid out by prehistoric balloonists? Conceived as a giant astronomical chart? No two evaluations of Perus giant geoglyphs and biomorphs known as the are the same. The mysteries have attracted outsiders since the 1940s but no one has been able to fully crack the code. The lines remain unfathomed, enigmatic and loaded with historic intrigue.

Floating reed islands and traditional living
Less a lake than a highland ocean, is home to fantastical sights none more surreal than the floating islands crafted entirely of tightly woven totora reeds. Requiring near-constant renovation, the reeds are also used to build thatched homes and elegant boats. There are plenty of other islands to choose from, such as Isla Taquile, where rural Andean life from centuries long gone lives on, and the quinoa soup recipe has been perfected.
