Located in the west central part of South America, Peru is a country of immense diversity and contrasts. Towering mountains, vast tropical rainforests, arid coastal deserts and quaint fishing villages make it an ultimate destination.
Inca ruins of Machu Picchu, mysterious desert lines of Nazca, colonial buildings of Arequipa and Lima all depict the astonishing archaeological heritage of the country. A must do is the wildlife watching on the Amazon River cruise.
