Why Peru?



A Traveler's Guide to Unexpected Vacations

For vacationers, South America has long held world wide appeal. Friendly people, lively entertainment, and a fantastic climate draw people to Latin countries and cities all year long. But beyond the tourist attractions, there's another South America waiting to be explored. Places where history is a living, breathing part of every day life, and shopping malls are a foreign concept. Foremost among these largely untouched vacation destinations is Peru. Consider one of these off the beaten path Peruvian vacations for your next holiday:

Adventure Rush

Adrenaline junkies will find that there are a multitude of high octane Peruvian travel tours to suit their need for adventure. The Andes provide an incomparable spot for mountain climbers. Mild weather, along with a distinct concentration of mountainsides, makes them a mountaineer's dream. Another great bonus is the fact that although these mountainsides appear to be completely cut off from the rest of the world, they're easily accessible from major cities in Peru. If you prefer rock climbing to scaling mountains, Peru boasts some of the world's most beautiful rock formations- overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Mountain biking is Peru's fastest growing adventure sport, with just about the entire country apt for bikers. When booking your Peruvian vacation, make sure to inquire about the circuits that are near your hotel- as they are divided into tracks for beginners, experienced cyclists, and experts. If you'd rather get your thrills on the water than the mountainside, then you should look into Peru's many breathtaking surf locations. Or, for even more of a rush, book a rafting tour across one of Peru's more than a dozen large rivers. For a bird's eye view of your Peruvian vacation, try a hand gliding trip or hot air balloon ride.

Ecotourism at its Best

Rich in wildlife, culture, and history, the Amazon is one of the world's most fascinating natural wonders. For a vacation experience that's completely different from any you've ever had, try a Peruvian eco-tour package. You can choose to simply experience some of Peru's most captivating natural scenes (like the Macaw's Clay Lick, where hundreds of Parrots and Macaws gather daily to ingest the detoxifying clay of Bahuaja, or Lake Sandoval- sanctuary for dozens of crocodiles, turtles, otters and cranes) or you can take a more active role in preservation with a tour package that includes a hands on experience, like a canopy walk high above the rainforest, or a botanical tour of the healing plants of the Amazon. There are even Peru travel tours that include agricultural stops at some of the country's farmlands.

For Nature Lovers and History Buffs

Few destinations rival the history and beauty of a vacation in Peru. From the hilltop wonders of Machu Picchu to the engaging mysteries of the Nazca lines, there is something in Peru to captivate everyone. In Lima's Plaza de Armas, you will find a unique mixture of Spanish conquistador influence and native art. There are also dozens of hiking trails overlooking some of the country's most beautiful scenery. Or, if you prefer, you can try your hand at windsurfing or parasailing.
However you choose to spend your Peruvian vacation- it's sure to be one that you'll remember for the rest of your life. And as far from the ordinary as you ever thought possible.
