Among the planet's top tourist destinations, PERU will rank among the foremost. Nothing is lacking, in fact, to satisfy even the most discerning travelers.

The landscapes? We don't know what surprises more, the breathtaking grandeur of the sites or their infinite variety. In just an hour of flight, we traverse from the desert to the glaciers of the Andes, from the splendor of the desolate highland steppe to the fascinating humidity of the Amazon rainforest.

The history? Cusco, Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu. Beyond the centuries, the Empire of the Sun has yet to fully reveal its mysteries. But in Peru's history, there are also prestigious civilizations established over many centuries before the foundation of the Inca Empire: Chavín, Paracas, Nazca, Moche, Tiahuanaco, Chimú... and also, extraordinary monuments from the Spanish conquest: palaces, churches, convents, and villages.

To assist you in your choice of sights, we've crafted this itinerary, a summary of the country's most important and accessible sites, which you cannot miss: the city of Cusco, Machu Picchu; Lima's colonial treasures, and the beautiful region of Puno with the world's highest navigable lake, "Titicaca," its Andean landscapes, folklore, and typical music.
