Tourist Attractions & Sights in Peru
Peru surely is one of the most amazing countries to visit: amazing landscapes, diverse and partly untouched nature, ancient cultures with all the impressive monuments they left us, lovely and inviting people and an incomparable gastronomy.
And while most concentrate on Peru’s main tourist attractions and follow the classical tour from Lima to Cusco followed by Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, probably adding the Titicaca Lake or Arequipa, perhaps the Nazca Lines, here we focus mainly, but not only on the less known sights, the small, probably not promoted or undeveloped attractions, some hidden treasures and off the beaten path places scattered around Peru that are very much worth a visit.
Enjoy your stay!
