Peru
Peru is home to a rich
variety of traditions and cultures .
Machu Picchu – one of the New Seven Wonders of the World – is Peru’s unrivalled crown jewel but the South American country has much more to offer. Besides the world-famous Inca citadel, there exist thousands of other archeological sites. These sites are often surrounded by mystery like the Nazca lines that no one really knows by whom they were formed and how.
With more than 10,000 years of history, Peru is home to a rich variety of traditions and cultures. One of the most remarkable ethnical groups are the Uros who live on self-made floating islands on Lake Titicaca.
The Peruvian gastronomy is among the most cherished ones in the world and has become part of the national identity. Some of the best-known dishes are ceviche, causa (layered potato tower), tacu tacu, and of course the national drink pisco. Lima is not only the Peruvian capital but it is also considered the undisputed gastronomic capital of America.
The historical and cultural treasures are without doubt Peru’s biggest tourist magnets but the country also features stunning natural beauty and adventure tourism spots. The Cordillera Blanca is part of the Andean cordillera that passes through Peru and is a mountaineer’s paradise with several peaks over 6000 meters (19,700 feet). Another highlight nestled in the Andes are the Rainbow Mountains. The coastal region invites you to discover the Ballestas Islands and if you venture into the desert do not forget to make a stop at the Huacachina oasis. Finally yet importantly, the Amazon rainforest which is biologically one of the most diverse places on our planet.
