Peru

Another tremendously varied South American country; Peru is so much more than just fabled Machu Picchu. It is home to traces of the oldest civilisation in the Americas, the Norte Chico, and has equally diverse peoples and landscapes.

The Capital Lima is a sprawling and dynamic city that juxtaposes historic museums with modern design, cultural tradition with intoxicating nightlife, and a culinary revolution that simply has to be tasted. History in Peru is unavoidable and astonishing.

Ancient Cuzco is the perfect gateway to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with all its Incan wonders. On the southern border with Bolivia, Lake Titicaca, one of the world’s highest lakes, and is home to the unique floating civilisations of the Uros people.
