Destinations in Peru

Up to 60% of Peru enjoys an equatorial climate that remains warm, humid and wet throughout the year. This climate allows the Amazon rainforest to thrive in Peru’s lowlands. The coastal regions of Peru are cooled by the air from the sea and receive less rainfall because of their protection by the mountains.

Peruvians enjoy a range of diverse cultures that are a blend of native and Hispanic traditions. Their two main cultures are the Quechua and the Aymara. Both have managed to continue to develop and preserve their cultures despite mass globalization.

If you plan to tour Peru, you’ll need to know some of the top destinations to visit in this beautiful country.

Of course, Machu Pichu has to be first on your list of Peru guided tours. This ancient Inca city sits high in the Andes mountains. Although it’s challenging to get to, it’s well worth the hike.

Another full day Peru tour to invest in during your trip is one to the Rainbow Mountains. They’re accessible from the beautiful city of Cusco which contains a multitude of colonial buildings and historical sites worth a visit in their own right.

The capital city of Lima with its coastal views, Lake Titicaca surrounded by Inca ruins and a collection of fascinating islands, as well as Aguas Calientes, known for its thermal baths are other must-do tours in Peru.

Popular Tours in Peru

While exploring Peru attractions by yourself can be fun and is a great idea when perusing the cities, many of the country’s main attractions are a little out of the way. These require a guide to show you around. For this reason, the best Peru tours are always guided ones.

During your Peru trips, Machu Pichu tours are simply mandatory. This will give you a chance to hike the Inca trail, take in magnificent, panoramic views of the luscious surrounding landscapes, and explore the ancient Inca ruins to top it all off. A trip to Machu Pichu is an exhilarating way to start your tour to Peru.

Iquitos is another must-visit on your tours to Peru. It’s known by many tourists to be the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. The town has a thriving culture and plenty of interesting attractions. Dotted with colonial buildings from the days of the rubber boom, this city is as vibrant as it is colorful.

Huacachina village is a unique oasis surrounded by desert landscape and high dunes. It’s known for its incredible lagoon that allows the village to not only survive but thrive.

The Mancora District is a resort that offers something slightly different to the rest of Peru. It’s a surfing destination filled with quaint cafes and a thriving nightlife. If you’re looking to party up a storm during your time in Peru, this is the place to do it.

FAQs

Now that you know what you’ll be up to on a holiday in Peru, we’re going to answer a few frequently asked questions to put your mind at ease.

What is the Best Machu Pichu Tour?

While there are a variety of breathtaking Machu Pichu tours, the most popular tours to Machu Pichu are by train. If you’re an adventurous spirit, then hiking the Inca trail will take a few days but add a few incredible experiences to your trip.

Is Peru Safe?

Peru is mostly safe, but tourist hotspots and public transport are where petty theft and pickpocketing occur frequently. There are cases of violent crime taking place in the streets, but this is quite uncommon and can be avoided by staying away from hazardous areas.

Can You Drink the Water in Peru?

Tap water in Peru isn’t safe to drink. The best way to purify the water is by boiling it for one minute or using water purification tablets. But you’ll be able to easily find bottled water in almost every city and town.
