The legendary land of the Inca Empire has inspired generations of thrill-seekers, and despite our repeat visits to this Latin American gem, Peru never seems to disappoint. With its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage, Peru packs a whole host of adventures within its borders. Summit the peaks of the Andes or the sand dunes of Ica, spot penguins on the Ballestas Islands or condors over the Colca Canyon, revel in the wild beauty of the Amazon or bless the earth with shamans — You may have come to see Machu Picchu but you’ll leave having experienced so much more.

Traveling Deep into Peru

The birthplace of the great Inca civilisation, Peru remains deeply connected to its heritage. Nine out of ten Peruvians have indigenous ancestry, and here Quechua-speaking highlanders mingle in markets beneath Andean peaks, while Uros peoples eke out a living on the floating islands of Lake Titicaca. A world away, remote tribes (some uncontacted) live deep in the Amazon. Peruvian cities provide a vivid contrast, a blend of frenetic and cosmopolitan neighbourhoods, scenic Spanish-colonial centres and buzzing plazas. The country’s epic rainforests, coast and mountains are attracting more and more visitors while, despite regular political scandals, the economy is on the up. Innovative ideas – like sustainable tourism projects run by indigenous groups – are helping to ensure Peru’s treasures will be around for generations to come.
