Peru, located on the southamerican western coast, is formed by 3 regions; the coast, the andes and the jungle. The first one is mostly arid and desertic; the second region is cold and well known for the Andean Peaks and the last one is predominantly thriving with lush vegetation, containing one of the most exuberant and diverse ecosystems in the world. They’re more than 30 million people, of which a third part resides in the capital; Lima.
Lima is Peru’s capital city, home to more than 8 million residents, an en eclectic mixture of ethnicities and ancient cultures. It is not rare to find remnants of pre-Columbian history next to imposing skyscrapers, configuring a contrast as interesting as the average peruvian’s idiosyncrasy.
The Pacific Ocean gently caresses its shore, a wide variety of beautiful beaches can be easily found along its coast; its combination of idyllic weather, multiple cultural influences and outstanding cousine give the city a unique charm that no traveler will ever forget.
Lima is an old city under transformation; the influence of the old Spanish colonial era merges with the edgy design of its highways and buildings.
Peru is an exhilarating touristic destination; you can find ancient ruins from different cultural origins across its territory as well as modern and cosmopolitan cities, gorgeous beaches, extreme sports destinations and all kind of surreal landscapes. From the endless coastal deserts, the little towns along the snowy peaks in the Andes, the long amazonian rivers to beautiful cities like Cuzco, Arquipa, Iquitos or Trujillo, you will never run out of places to visit once you are here. Please let me know if you plan on visiting us, I will be glad to help you in any way I can, and of course, give you a proper tour if I will be in city.
Once you are here, great imposing cities like Cuzco or Macchupicchu, heavenly destinations like the Titicaca lake, the little towns scattered along the Andes with such impressive unforgettable views are a must.
Peru’s biodiversity deserves a separate mention, exquisite reservations like The Manu, Pacaya Samiria, protected from mankind’s predatory influence, are sanctuaries where many species that are already extinct elsewhere are zealously guarded and preserved.
Visiting Peru has certain side effects, you’ll love it so much, its history, its people, its world renowned cousine and our one of a kind national drink, the Pisco (as Peruvian as the Inca Empire), you’ll never want to leave.
