Live Your Best Lives
Peru is located in northwestern South America, bordering tourist powerhouses like Brazil, Chile, and Bolivia. Peru is small, roughly the size of Tibet in my country. Coincidentally, Peru is situated at high altitudes, with forest covering an astonishing 51% of its land area. Because of this, the natural beauty of the South American highlands is a unique advantage for Peru. Peru has been voted one of the most worthwhile countries to explore on the planet.
Peru is one of the ancient centers of Indian civilization in the Americas. It gave birth to the world-famous Norte Civilization, Moche Culture and Inca Civilization. The latter became the Inca Empire, the largest country in South America in the pre-Columbian period.
August to October is the best time to visit Peru; the worst weather is in January and February.
Machu Picchu
Due to its holy, mysterious and pious atmosphere, Machu Picchu is listed as one of the world's top 10 sacred places. In 1983, Machu Picchu was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is one of the few dual cultural and natural heritage sites in the world.
Cusco
Welcoming people, ancient streets, mysterious Inca ruins, delicious food that is famous throughout South America, beautiful handicrafts, first-class street parties...
Amazon Plain
This is an isolated pristine jungle. It seems difficult to describe it with the word "paradise" because every corner of the Amazon plain is full of mystery.
Titicaca Islands
Lake Titicaca, covering 8,400 square kilometers and sitting at an altitude of 3,800 meters, is the highest lake in the world. Hidden within its surface are numerous undeveloped, high-quality islands. Regarded by Peruvians as the "Mother Sea," Lake Titicaca boasts not only the unique beauty of a lake but also a series of beautiful, fairytale-like archipelagos.
Recommended number of days for visiting: about 10 days
