Peru is a country that won't let you go. Between the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, the dense green of the Amazon, and the desert coasts of the Pacific, there is so much more than meets the eye. Almost everyone knows Machu Picchu — but did you know that in the Sacred Valley, dozens of other Inca sites await you, which you can almost have all to yourself? Or that Peru's cuisine is considered by many to be the most exciting in all of Latin America?
On our travels through South America, we have repeatedly experienced how Peru surprises you: The country reveals itself from a different side as soon as you start looking deeper.
But when is the best time to travel? What should be considered when entering? And how do you travel best in Peru — from Lima to the mountains, or straight into the jungle?
Our Peru travel guide gives you all the important info for your planning. Whether you want to feel the stillness of the Altiplano plateau, experience the depths of the Amazon, or simply go out to eat in Lima — here you will find everything you need to know.
