Why visit Peru
Discover a world-class heritage
Emblematic, spectacular, mythical... We no longer present the famous Macchu Pichu! To get there, an unforgettable journey by train through the Urubamba canyon leads to the Inca remains which seem to emerge from the tropical forest at an altitude of more than 2,400 meters... Macchu Pichu is far from being the only Inca vestige in the country! All over the country vestiges bear witness to this great civilization, its culture and its know-how. To understand the importance of this civilization, it seems essential to visit these Vibrant cities steeped in history.
Whether we are talking about Cusco, Lima or Arequipa, these Peruvian cities have preserved a splendid colonial heritage. All classified as a cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO, they deserve to spend several days there. In these cities, we soak up colonial history, participate in many cultural events, enjoy the atmosphere of one of the Plaza de Armas, the nerve center of Peruvian cities.
