 Running
from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean, Peru is the land of plenty when
it comes to off-the-beaten-path tourism. The quiet mountain villages
where the locals still wear traditional dress and speak their native
toungue are superbly offset by the established tourism infrastructure. |
| Peru hosts two of South America's biggest attractions:
The ruins of the ancient Inca city, Machu
Picchu, are unparalleled; and,the Amazon
Jungle where trekkers
are delighted by the abundance of wildlife prevalent in the area.
On top of that, Peru offers visitors a glimpse into the Colonial and
Inca powers-that-were in wonderfully preserved cities like Cuzco.
And, in the traditional lives of natives like those that inhabit
the floating
cities of Lake
Titicaca. Plus, the Peruvian
Andes offer incredible climbing
and trekking. Peru's striking ruins and cities and unique
wildlife make it a popular item on Equator's "Favorites" list
on the menu bar above. For a photo album review of Peru, click the Photo Tour button to the left. Ready to book a trip? Use the helpful links in our Travel Planner. Explore. Relax. Enjoy. Destination: Peru. |
