PERU: WONDERFUL COUNTRY

Located in the west central part of South America, Peru will fascinate not only the common tourist but also the adventurer, the scientist and whomever visits it for any reason. Visitors will be amazed by Peru’s vast geography, its flora and fauna, its rich culture and its diverse people. You will have the opportunity to enjoy tours where you will observe enchanted landscapes and will be surrounded by exciting adventures which only Peru can offer.

In Peru you will have the opportunity to see three completely different geographical regions each with its own unique characteristics.

La Sierra runs from south to north along the Andean Mountains. Here you will see villages where people still preserve their own cultures and customs. Machu Pichu, among many different ruins, shows us the richness, development and organization or our ancestors, the Incas. The Sierra’s mountains have been recognized as the most beautiful and accessible in the entire continent. Its valleys and lagoons offer visitors an unforgettable landscape. People could travel along these mountains for months and only see a very small part of this beautiful country.

"La Selva", located in the Amazon Basin, is a paradise and a natural laboratory, almost totally virgin unknown to tourists and scientists. Home to exotic birds and animals, many of them in danger of extinction, as well as a large unimaginable variety of flora. Natives who inhabit this region live in harmony with the environment. Peru’s Selva is one of the last sources of pure oxygenon in the Earth. Come, visit, enjoy and help us preserve it.

"La Costa", presents large deserts bathed by the Pacific Ocean, forming extraordinary 0beaches, the dream of fishermen and surfers. Rivers that cut through the desert have formed valleys where many different pre-inca civilizations florished and left behind their legacies such as Chan Chan – the largest mud made city in the world and capital city of the Chimu’s empire; the tomb of Señor de Sipan; the misterious Nazca Lines, and many others which you can discover and enjoy with us.
