Peru has much to offer,
the diversity of its landscape begins in the desert of the
coast, sprinkled by beautiful valleys and excellent beaches,
to the spectacular mountain range of the Andes, with its
huge variety of ecosystems and colonial legacy. All these
exciting treasures, in addition to the famous Peruvian hospitality
will enable you to live an unforgettable experience in “The
Land of the Incas”.
When you travel to Peru, interested in its archaeology,
a great place to start is the National Museum of Archaeology,
Anthropology and History, located in the colorful Plaza
Bolivar in the district of Pueblo Libre. It will orient
you to the wealth of Peru's fascinating archeological past,
while artfully displaying the variety of its skillfully
crafted jewelry, ceramics and textiles. Just outside the
museum, you can also enjoy some of Lima's finest colonial
architecture and any one of a number of delightful local
restaurants.
Peru’s geography is among the most dramatic and awe-inspiring
on earth. Having three distinct regions - the coastal plains,
the Andean highlands, and the Amazon jungle - it is as varied
as it is spectacular.
The dry coastal plains are home to most of Peru’s
archaeological sites, including the Nazca lines in the south
and the tomb of the Lord of Sipán in the north.
Peru’s varied highlands include the snow-capped peaks
of the Cordillera Blanca, the lush high jungle regions near
Machu Picchu and elsewhere, and the extraordinary altiplano
(high plains) between Cuzco and Lake Titicaca.
Peru’s vast jungle region, covering over half the
country’s total land surface, is home to a biodiversity
matched in few places on earth and eco-tourism at its best.

the result of the Inca and European encounter. Considered
one of the architectural gems of the world, here you
