Tourists who have experienced the old civilizations of Europe, explored the vastness of North America and the adventure capital of New Zealand South Island, can now truly expand their horizons. Peru Tours reveal the wonders hidden within the South American jungle. A tour to Peru takes in lost cities, incredible countryside and amazing sites.
Peru is now a country of many ethnic backgrounds and cultures in which Spanish is the main spoken language, although both native languages and English can be heard in the cities. The country stretches from the Pacific coast plains to the Andes Mountain peaks and down into the Amazon Basin. In short, it offers a wealth of experiences for tourists.
The vast majority of tourists look forward to at least a glimpse of the Inca remains. For many, it is the highlight of their visit. Tours usually begin in lesser known the Sacred Valley where Llamas and the delightful Alpacas are bred. The long Machu Picchu trail through the valleys and mountains seems to add to a mysterious aura in the place in which a highly civilized nation lived in deep isolation from the world.
Machu Picchu has been retained in good original condition because it was not found by the Spanish invaders who despoiled so much of South America. The site was discovered a century ago by an American historian and since has become a Mecca for tourists. Preserving the site is important and most outlying buildings have been reconstructed according to original designs to allow tourists to immerse themselves in the world of the Incas.
The trail leads one through valleys and up steep slopes to Machu Picchu where the Inca Emperor lived half a millennium ago. The magnificent architect found at this site became an inspiration for Art Deco in the early twentieth century. The nearby city of Cuzco is a World Heritage site offering ancient ruins, history, culture and even a lively nightlife.
For those with limited interest in archeology, modern day Peru offers much to capture the attention of visitors. The country is awash with festivals. Approximately three thousand festivals are held each year. Magnificent and usually highly colored art is available in most cities and towns and the magnificent churches are an art form in themselves.
Young adventurers will find delight in three thousand kilometers of coastline with wonderful beaches easily accessed from the great Pan American highway. A visit to the cloud forest or the tropical jungle will reveal many of the three thousand species of splendid orchids to be found in the country. With over three hundred endemic species of birds, Peru is paradise for birdwatchers from all over the globe.
Tourists to this South American land will find bright handmade crafts in most markets. Be sure to bargain for a crafted item to take home as a memento. On Peru Tours, be sure to take your camera. You will find many scenes that you will want to capture on film or electronically and keep as your personal memento of beautiful Peru.
