Peru's attractions extend far beyond the mystical allure of this legendary location and include palm-fringed beaches, quaint Andean villages and archaeological treasures, all imbued with the nation’s rich melange of indigenous and colonial cultures.
Peru’s capital is a fantastic city, it is officially one of the culinary hotspots in the world, beyond a quite rich historic and cultural past with beautifully preserved architecture.
The gorgeous city of Arequipa is a perfect blend of ancient architectural treasures and modern buildings, blessed with an average of 300 days of sunny weather a year. It is also known as ‘The White City’ – a nickname that stems from its numerous white buildings, which form a striking contrast with the green surroundings. It is Peru’s most elegant city and the best place to visit if you’re a foodie on the hunt for fine dining opportunities, with an array of fabulous restaurants offering spicy local specialities such as rocoto relleno, chupe de Camarones and ocopa. This city has an illustrious history and its distinctive traditions make it a truly unique Peruvian destination.
Also known as Urubamba Valley, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is located in the Peruvian Andes. This fertile valley is fed by a network of waterways and encompasses a wealth of archaeological sites.
Once called the ‘Navel of the World’ by the Incas, Cusco remains a city that blends colonial Spanish charm with older, more austere remains of pre-Columbian glory – one can still see the foundations of Inca structures on many of its city streets today.
