Land of the IncasPeru is the best starting off point for Latin America Travel

With its dazzling archeological sites, exquisite properties, convenient infrastructure and awe-inspiring destinations, you are guaranteed a trip of a lifetime. Visit the “Navel of the World”, Cuzco, and enjoy the best tamale of your life on a cobblestone street corner. Hike through the Sacred Valley and ride passo horses on a private estate. Trek up the Inca Trail reaching the Gate of the Sun to enter the majestic Machu Picchu Citadel. The Amazon awaits to be explored by land or water. The highest lake in the world, Titicaca, is another region that must be experienced. The Colca Canyon with its hot springs and condors flying above welcomes the adventure traveler, reachable by an overnight Orient Express luxury train. Need we say more?
Where to go in
peru
Lima
Peru's culinary capital and one of the best food cities in the world, ceviche and Andean-influenced fine dining sit blocks from centuries of Spanish colonial architecture along the Pacific coast.
Machu Picchu
Reached via the Inca Trail and the Gate of the Sun, this 15th-century citadel remains one of the most singular sights on earth, mist rising off the surrounding peaks at sunrise.
The Sacred Valley
Andean villages, terraced Inca ruins, and private estates where passo horses, Peru's smooth-gaited native breed, carry riders through some of the country's most dramatic scenery.
Cusco
Known to the Inca as the "Navel of the World," Cusco blends colonial architecture built directly atop Inca stonework, cobblestone streets, and some of the best street food in Peru, best eaten standing on a corner, not seated at a table.
