Peru Destinations

Peru is the third largest country in South America, bigger than the sizes of Germany, Netherlands, France, and Switzerland combined. You’ll find Peru destinations scattered all over three regions, the west coast with its desert, beaches and river valleys; the Andes range with its snow-capped peaks; and the Amazon jungle reigning over as one of the world's largest natural reserves.

As a tourist favorite, Peru offers a "great number of everything" in its history, geography, biodiversity, and culture. It is gifted with vast areas of scenic landscapes, made more rich with its history as the center of the Inca empire and the influence of its Spanish conquistadors.
