Ancient History �Abundant NaturePeru possesses eighty-four of the existing 104 life zones
Also, it is the first habitat in the world for bu�erfly, fish and orchid species, second in bird species, and third in mammal and amphibian species.
On the southern coast of Ica is the Paracas National Reserve, a refuge for sea lions and hundreds of bird species. Eastward lies the Peruvian Amazon, where 70% of all species on the planet can be found.
Large national parks and reserves are found in Madre de Dios, Cusco, and Puno:
Tambopata National Reserve:
Spanning two Peruvian departments, Madre de Dios and Puno, and lying between the Tambopata and Heath rivers, its claim to fame is the incredible number of recorded animal species living in its bounds: 632 bird, 1,200 bu�erfly, 169 mammal, 205 fish, 103 amphibian, and 67 reptile species.
Colorado macaw clay lick. This is the largest of its kind on Earth, where a huge number of macaws, parrots, and parakeets gather to eat the minerals from this large clay wall.
Manu National Park:
Located in the Manu River basin, it spans two Peruvian departments: Cusco and Madre de Dios. UNESCO deemed Manu so important that it placed it on the World Heritage List in 1987.
The park holds world records for the number of bird species (more than 1025, like the harpy eagle and the Peruvian cock of the rock), mammal species (close to 221), and 2000 plant varieties, including giant orchids and trees over 45 meters (148 feet) tall.
Heading south, you are going to find vestiges of some of Peru’s most important Pre-Colombian civilizations.
Ica is where you find the Nasca Lines, geoglyphs of geometric figures and shapes of animals and plants on the desert floor that were made 1500 years ago by the Nasca people. The best way to see them is from the air onboard small, single engine planes.
Cusco was the capital of the powerful Incan Empire (Tahuantinsuyo) that they unified by way of an efficient, 40,000 km road system called the Capac Ñan (Main Andean Road or Inca Trail). Upon these pathways ran the Chasquis, swift messengers of the emperor who brought him news and fresh food from all over his empire.
You can even trek some of those same trails today: 4 day guided tours to exotic locations like Machu Picchu and Choquequirao. The routes lead you through different geographies with their corresponding scenic changes, for example the highlands of the Andes, the so-called Eyebrow of the Jungle, and the tropical zone.

As you head south, you start to see more of Peru’s many different facets; in terms of our ancient cultural legacy, the most striking examples are the grand ruins and road system left by the Incan Empire and the mysterious Nasca Lines. As for natural se�ings, our protected areas and coastal, mountain, and jungle landscapes offer plenty of chances to reconnect with nature, even while engaging in adventure sports in deserts (dunes), beaches, and rivers. And contemporary life is found in our main cities with their range of excellent hospitality services offered in the forms of five star hotels and restaurants, while age old small towns provide a fabric of rich traditions. Whatever you are interested in, you are guaranteed to experience something unique with all your senses.

There are plenty of southern villages that still keep their ancestors’ life styles and traditions alive. For example, in the area around Lake Titicaca, Puno, the Pukara thrived from 1800 B.C. to 400 A.D., and their decline opened up the development of important cultures like the Tiahuanaco and Uro. From 1100 A.D. to the arrival of the Spanish, the Aymara controlled this region, and even today their descendants live in that area.
On different islands in Lake Titicaca (Uros, Taquile, and Amantani), you can see that the customs of the islanders is hundreds of years behind the times, expressed in their dress, festivals, dances, magic-religious beliefs, and also in the way they farm.
Throughout the Sacred Valley in Cusco, you can experience the ancient traditions of the Incas in towns like Pisac, Yucay, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, and Chincheros.
Along with the countless number of Incan archeological ruins, the villagers come together en masse at different open air markets to sell and to barter their farm produce, hand-made clothing, and handicrafts.

Cusco was the capital of the powerful Incan Empire (Tahuantinsuyo) that they unified by way of an efficient, 40,000 km road system called the Capac Ñan (Main Andean Road or Inca Trail). Upon these pathways ran the Chasquis, swift messengers of the emperor who brought him news and fresh food from all over his empire.
You can even trek some of those same trails today: 4 day guided tours to exotic locations like Machu Picchu and Choquequirao. The routes lead you through different geographies with their corresponding scenic changes, for example the highlands of the Andes, the so-called Eyebrow of the Jungle, and the tropical zone.

Adventure
Contemporary
As you head south, you start to see more of Peru’s many different facets; in terms of our ancient cultural legacy, the most striking examples are the grand ruins and road system left by the Incan Empire and the mysterious Nasca Lines. As for natural se�ings, our protected areas and coastal, mountain, and jungle landscapes offer plenty of chances to reconnect with nature, even while engaging in adventure sports in deserts (dunes), beaches, and rivers. And contemporary life is found in our main cities with their range of excellent hospitality services offered in the forms of five star hotels and restaurants, while age old small towns provide a fabric of rich traditions. Whatever you are interested in, you are guaranteed to experience something unique with all your senses.

There are plenty of southern villages that still keep their ancestors’ life styles and traditions alive. For example, in the area around Lake Titicaca, Puno, the Pukara thrived from 1800 B.C. to 400 A.D., and their decline opened up the development of important cultures like the Tiahuanaco and Uro. From 1100 A.D. to the arrival of the Spanish, the Aymara controlled this region, and even today their descendants live in that area.
On different islands in Lake Titicaca (Uros, Taquile, and Amantani), you can see that the customs of the islanders is hundreds of years behind the times, expressed in their dress, festivals, dances, magic-religious beliefs, and also in the way they farm.
Throughout the Sacred Valley in Cusco, you can experience the ancient traditions of the Incas in towns like Pisac, Yucay, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, and Chincheros.
Along with the countless number of Incan archeological ruins, the villagers come together en masse at different open air markets to sell and to barter their farm produce, hand-made clothing, and handicrafts.

For a complete adventure, you should hike the trails made by the Incas over 500 years ago and visit their temples and towns. Another unforge�able experience is flying over the Nasca Lines to see them as they should: from on high. Other natural destinations in southern Peru are the lovely se�ings on the coast and in the mountains and jungle, lakes like Titicaca, and the canyons like the Colca Canyon; these are one of a kind experiences that will stay in your memory forever.

Cusco was the capital of the powerful Incan Empire (Tahuantinsuyo) that they unified by way of an efficient, 40,000 km road system called the Capac Ñan (Main Andean Road or Inca Trail). Upon these pathways ran the Chasquis, swift messengers of the emperor who brought him news and fresh food from all over his empire.
You can even trek some of those same trails today: 4 day guided tours to exotic locations like Machu Picchu and Choquequirao. The routes lead you through different geographies with their corresponding scenic changes, for example the highlands of the Andes, the so-called Eyebrow of the Jungle, and the tropical zone.

Contemporary
As you head south, you start to see more of Peru’s many different facets; in terms of our ancient cultural legacy, the most striking examples are the grand ruins and road system left by the Incan Empire and the mysterious Nasca Lines. As for natural se�ings, our protected areas and coastal, mountain, and jungle landscapes offer plenty of chances to reconnect with nature, even while engaging in adventure sports in deserts (dunes), beaches, and rivers. And contemporary life is found in our main cities with their range of excellent hospitality services offered in the forms of five star hotels and restaurants, while age old small towns provide a fabric of rich traditions. Whatever you are interested in, you are guaranteed to experience something unique with all your senses.

There are plenty of southern villages that still keep their ancestors’ life styles and traditions alive. For example, in the area around Lake Titicaca, Puno, the Pukara thrived from 1800 B.C. to 400 A.D., and their decline opened up the development of important cultures like the Tiahuanaco and Uro. From 1100 A.D. to the arrival of the Spanish, the Aymara controlled this region, and even today their descendants live in that area.
On different islands in Lake Titicaca (Uros, Taquile, and Amantani), you can see that the customs of the islanders is hundreds of years behind the times, expressed in their dress, festivals, dances, magic-religious beliefs, and also in the way they farm.
Throughout the Sacred Valley in Cusco, you can experience the ancient traditions of the Incas in towns like Pisac, Yucay, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, and Chincheros.
Along with the countless number of Incan archeological ruins, the villagers come together en masse at different open air markets to sell and to barter their farm produce, hand-made clothing, and handicrafts.

Ancient History �Abundant NaturePeru possesses eighty-four of the existing 104 life zones
Also, it is the first habitat in the world for bu�erfly, fish and orchid species, second in bird species, and third in mammal and amphibian species.
On the southern coast of Ica is the Paracas National Reserve, a refuge for sea lions and hundreds of bird species. Eastward lies the Peruvian Amazon, where 70% of all species on the planet can be found.
Large national parks and reserves are found in Madre de Dios, Cusco, and Puno:
Tambopata National Reserve:
Spanning two Peruvian departments, Madre de Dios and Puno, and lying between the Tambopata and Heath rivers, its claim to fame is the incredible number of recorded animal species living in its bounds: 632 bird, 1,200 bu�erfly, 169 mammal, 205 fish, 103 amphibian, and 67 reptile species.
Colorado macaw clay lick. This is the largest of its kind on Earth, where a huge number of macaws, parrots, and parakeets gather to eat the minerals from this large clay wall.
Manu National Park:
Located in the Manu River basin, it spans two Peruvian departments: Cusco and Madre de Dios. UNESCO deemed Manu so important that it placed it on the World Heritage List in 1987.
The park holds world records for the number of bird species (more than 1025, like the harpy eagle and the Peruvian cock of the rock), mammal species (close to 221), and 2000 plant varieties, including giant orchids and trees over 45 meters (148 feet) tall.
Heading south, you are going to find vestiges of some of Peru’s most important Pre-Colombian civilizations.
