Travel to Peru

Peru is simply remarkable. It is called the land of the Incas. Machu Picchu is the lost city of the Incas which was revealed centuries after the last Conquistador left. It's a pleasure and puzzle for the tourists visiting Peru. Peru is a once in a lifetime tour experience that very few individuals will ever know. Its natives and rich traditions are equally and refreshingly amazing.

Our travel guides can save you time and energy by arranging the perfect vacation tailored to your needs. With our first-hand experience we can make your vacation full of adventure and excitement.

The main cities in Peru are: Lima (capital city), Arequipa, Ayacuchu, Trujillo, Cajamarca, Chiclayo, Chincha Alta, Cusco, Huanuco, Iquitos, Tacna, Piura, Chimbote, Ica, Juliaca, Sullana, Tarapoto, Tumbes and Talara.

Tarapoto is the most important city in the area, and is the hub for trade for the District of San Martin.

Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake and the most sacred body of water of the Inca Empire. It is the most widely taken adventure tour in Peru.

Lots of people dare to visit the still unknown Amazon Rainforest in a quest to search for herbs and cures for the many major illnesses.

Almost 1.5 million foreigners visit Peru each year; still you can find a place off the beaten track which not many visitors have seen.

Some really famous Peru dishes are: Cebiche de Pescado, Arroz con Pollo, Lomo Saltado, Arroz Tapado, Papas a la HuancaĆ­na, Leche Asada and Pisco Sour. Carachama fish is a primitive cat fish which is a popular choice here. Anticuchos is also worth trying, these are shish kebabs made from beef hearts. Asparagus is a specialty of the Peru.

Our travel guides can assist you in exploring this exciting land, rich in history and culture.
