Explore PerĂş on the edge!
Adventure - History - Cuisine
Visit this History-rich, colorful Country, from a different perspective. Climb mountains, swim with sea lions, fly off cliffs, take a jump at 400 ft, or be shot from the ground like a bullet, all while discovering millenary pre-Columbian civilizations, the amazingly mysterious Inka Empire, the most exquisite cuisine and the melting pot of cultures that is Perú. With three distinct regions to choose from, Perú has everything you look for on a Trip of a lifetime. A desert coast with beautiful beaches and perfect waves for surfing, the World´s highest sand dune, pre-Columbian pyramids and the best seafood you´ll ever try. The Andes highlands with its beautiful snow peaks, colorful costumes, joyous dances and “Machu Picchu” rightly named one of the World´s Seven Wonders for its impossibly perfect stone structures and mystical history. And the wonderful Amazon Rainforest! Where Nature meets Adventure and the World´s largest river begins, giving birth to an amazingly diverse eco-system of plants and wildlife that will leave you breathless.
