Peru

A land of extremes, Peru is rich with natural, jaw-dropping beauty, including a sprawling desert coastline once home to one of the oldest civilizations on earth, vast tropical rainforests that blanket almost two-thirds of the country, and the breathtaking peaks of the Andes, the highest tropical landscape in the world.

And then you meet the people. Gracious, welcoming and full of spirit and love for Pachamama (Mother Earth), their cultures are colorful and animated, with the legacy of a great ancient civilization close to their hearts.

Of course there´s Machu Picchu, the crown jewel of the Inca´s legacy. At 8,200 feet above sea-level, high in the Andes and covering over five square miles, the ruins of the “Lost City” are fascinating reminders of the Incan Empire. The extraordinary harmony between Machu Picchu and its natural surroundings make this one of the most alluring sites in the world to visit.

Peru is a country that will tug at your heart strings, make you gasp for air (and not just from the altitude) and awake emotions long dormant. Consider yourself forewarned.
