Beyond Machu Picchu, Peru has so much to offer including the bountiful wildlife of the Amazon, the mysterious Nazca Lines, and ancient Incan pyramids.
In the Amazon, choose to explore the rain forest with daily wildlife hikes from the most renowned eco-lodges or from a luxury multi-day cruise offering fine cuisine, air-conditioned comfort and spacious cabins. More than 25,000 species of plants are found here, with 460 known mammal species and a mind-boggling 4,000 different species of butterflies.
Southern Peru lures you with its large ancient geoglyphs found in the high, arid Nazca Desert. Best seen by air, you’ll hop on a chartered flight to see these isolated but well-preserved designs. To the southeast, Lake Titicaca’s dazzling blue waters are home to unusual floating islands and is the highest navigable lake in the world. Colca Canyon is one of the deepest in the world, with depths of nearly 11,000 feet.
