Luxury Peru Travel

Posted On: 08 May 2018 #TierrasVivas 412

Peru is enjoyed in different ways: with an adventurous spirit, mystical, ecological, fun and also with luxury and exquisiteness.

When it comes to tourist attractions, Peru is truly blessed. Now luxury travelers can enjoy it with style. First of all, the country has the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, the most popular site in South America. You can reach it by train and stay at luxury hotels there or in the sacred valley. Fortunately, Peru is not a country with only one attraction: there is a lot to see beyond a mysterious city lost in the mountains.

The starting point of Cusco is one of the most charming and attractive cities in Latin America. Located at an altitude of 11,000 feet / 3500 meters in the Andes, it is a mixture of ancient Inca walls and colonial architecture, with surprises at the end of each cobblestone alley. In the Sacred Valley between Cusco and Machu Picchu there are many other places worth visiting, all providing a spectacular mountainous landscape and a growing selection of luxury resorts and inns.

The colonial city of Arequipa is another prominent place, with mountains of white peaks at the bottom of the main square and a labyrinthine monastery that delights photographers. Travelers who have more time can visit the nearby Colca Canyon, where the condors fly and the landscape changes completely.

Visitors can also fly over the mysterious drawings in the Nazca desert, navigate a boat on Lake Titicaca, or visit the Ballestas Islands. All this only in the southern part. There is so much more to see and do outside the main tourist route in the rest of the country and even more interesting ruins in the north. The eastern part of the country leaves behind the mountains: it is the thick and hot jungle of the Amazon.

Some of the best hikes in South America are in Peru, especially around the area near Huaraz, in the northern half of the country. The huge mountains reach 18,000 feet and are permanently covered with snow on their peaks.
