Magical Peru
I enjoy helping people plan trips to Peru as their travel agent specialist. I always find a new reason to love this travel destination and country. If you love the idea of an adventure or wish to explore ancient historic sites, you’ll want to learn more about some of the must-see travel destinations. Two major attractions in Peru are the Amazon rainforest and the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu, which sits high in the Andes. You’ll find the area surrounding Machu Picchu rich in archeological attractions. On your journey, you’ll trek the Inca Trail and visit the Sacred Valley. The region is also home to the city of Cuzco, known for its ruins. In fact, Cuzco, sitting in the Peruvian Andes, was formerly the capital of the Incas. Besides its ancient remains, it also is noted for its colonial Spanish styled buildings. The central square in the old city, Plaza de Armas, highlights the walled ruins of the Incas as well as arcades and carved wood balconies. The baroque styled Santo Domingo Convent, features the archaeological ruins of Incan stonework. The convent was constructed over Ooricancha, also called the Temple of the Sun. The dry Pacific coast of Peru is home to Lima, the capital - a city that features pre-Columbian art and artifacts and a historic colonial center. While vacationing in Peru, you’ll also want to visit Lake Titicaca, known as the highest navigable lake worldwide. It sits between Bolivia and Peru, and is a great place to relax and take in the natural scenery. Here is where you’ll find rare aquatic wildlife, including giant-sized frogs. You can either tour the lake by boat or stay overnight on one of the lake's floating islands. If you want to pursue a more active journey, I’d suggest visiting Machu Picchu. For a more relaxing holiday, I’d recommend a visit to the lake. One of the great reasons for planning a Peru holiday has to do with the country’s biodiversity. Not only is the terrain diverse, so is the country’s climate. If you love animals or birdwatching, set your sights on a trip to Peru. Consider these statistics. Peru is home to 462 mammal species and 1,816 bird species. Of the listed mammals, 46 are indigenous to Peru. Birds endemic to the country number 109. The country is also home to 2,000 species of fish (both freshwater and saltwater varieties) and 4,000 butterfly species. Of this number, 350 butterflies are endemic to Peru. The country also counts 4,400 species of plants and 25,000 types of flora, with 5,000 of that number being indigenous. From these numbers, you can see why people clamber to visit the rainforest. Also, I have to add that the food in Peru is superb. I cannot describe it in words. You have to taste it to know what I mean. Foodies love sampling Peruvian dishes. For example, the national dish in the country is ceviche--totally Peruvian. In fact, it’s so tasty, you might develop an obsession. Cooked sea bass (corvina) is marinated in lime juice, hot chiles (aji), salt and onion flavoring. (Simply too delicious to bypass while visiting the country.) If you visit the north, you’ll find fortresses, and tombs of prior cultures, some of which include the pyramids of Chan Chan and Tucume. A visit to Lima is not complete either without a visit to the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) or Huacas (revered monuments). To fully benefit from a trip to Peru, you need to speak to a travel agent advisor. That is why I am excited about the possibility of helping you plan your Peruvian and rainforest vacation.
