Peru

Mystical landscapes, lost civilizations, and untamed wilderness await in Peru.

Peru is a country of extraordinary diversity, where the ancient past and untamed nature converge. The legendary Machu Picchu, an Incan citadel hidden in the Andes, is a bucket-list experience, but Peru’s wonders extend far beyond. The Sacred Valley offers rich cultural heritage and breathtaking mountain scenery, while Lima’s world-renowned cuisine makes it a foodie’s paradise.

Venture into the Amazon Rainforest, where vibrant wildlife thrives in the dense jungle, or explore the Colca Canyon, home to soaring condors and dramatic landscapes. In the cloud forests, conservation projects work to protect the elusive spectacled bear—the only bear species in South America—by safeguarding its habitat and connecting wildlife corridors. For an otherworldly experience, visit Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, where indigenous communities maintain traditions dating back centuries. From high-altitude trekking to wildlife-filled rainforests, Peru is an adventure that stirs the soul while contributing to the preservation of its rarest species.
