Why Peru
Peru is Machu Picchu, and then a great deal more: Inca cities in the Andes, the Amazon, the desert coast and one of the best kitchens in the Americas.
A first trip usually joins Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Ten days or more opens Lake Titicaca, Arequipa or the Amazon.
Machu Picchu
Reached by train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo with PeruRail or Inca Rail, or on foot on the Inca Trail, Salkantay or Lares treks.
Cusco and the Sacred Valley
The old Inca capital and the valley below it. Many trips start in the valley, which sits lower, before moving up to Cusco.
The Amazon
Eco lodges and river cruises in Tambopata, Manu and around Iquitos. Spot jaguars, monkeys, and pink dolphins.
Lima and the coast
Lima's food scene, then the Ballestas Islands at Paracas and the Nazca Lines.
