Top 10 Highlights

HIghest Sand Dune

Peru is home to the highest sand dune in the world, Cerro Blanco, towering at approximately 3,860 feet (1,176 meters) above sea level. Located in the Sechura Desert near the city of Nazca, this colossal dune offers an adrenaline-fueled adventure for sandboarding enthusiasts. What makes it even more remarkable is that its shifting sands continually reshape its form, creating an ever-changing landscape of breathtaking natural beauty.

Rainbow Mountain

Peru's Rainbow Mountain, known locally as Vinicunca or Montaña de Siete Colores, remained hidden under a thick layer of snow for centuries. However, due to climate change, the snow has melted, revealing a stunning display of vibrant colors caused by mineral deposits. This natural wonder has quickly become one of Peru's most popular tourist attractions, offering visitors a unique and awe-inspiring hiking experience at over 5,000 meters above sea level.

Top Places to Visit

Arequipa and Colca Canyon

Known for its excellent gastronomy and for being the point where you can look from above how condors fly, Arequipa, also known as the white city, sits at the foot of the Misti volcano and on the banks of the Chili River. This vibrant city's colonial churches and mansions were built in ashlar, a white volcanic stone.

Lima

Peru's capital used to be a walled city with narrow streets and long balconies, occupied by Limeños enjoying food, life, and an evening filled with board games. Nowadays, only a small part of the City of Kings retains some of these old days, such as the historic centre, the stately palace of Torre Tagle, and the 1610 stone bridge.

Cusco

The number one Touristic destination due not only to the historic city but cause of Machupicchu. Cusco used to be the capital of the Tahuantinsuyo empire, inhabited by people from the four suyos (regions) of the Inca confederation. Nowadays, Cusco is mainly the starting point for visits to the Sacred Valley of the Incas as well as the world-famous Machupicchu.

Caral

The origin of Andean culture. Located around 200 km north of Lima, this is the oldest known urban settlement and civilization in the Americas. Caral is situated in the middle of the Supe Valley and was developed at the same time as other great cultures in Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. The farming techniques and sustainable practices of this sacred city still remain a reference point to this day.

Nasca and Palpa Lines

Located in the desert plains of the Rio Grande de Nasca river basin, this is a mysterious gallery of lines and geoglyphs formed by depressions or shallow incisions in southern Peru between 500 BC and 500 AD. More than 800 drawings, naturally preserved by the region's dry climate, stretching over 450 km² of hot desert sand.

Chiclayo and Trujillo

Northern cities well-known for their excellent gastronomy and for being one of the best spots for archaeology hunters. They share the legacy of the Moche and Chimu cultures, builders of the great Chan Chan citadel as well as the Tomb of the Lord of Sipan. This tomb, once created for this very important Mochica warrior priest, reveals incredibly valuable gold and silver objects.
