Peru Wildlife Guide
Immerse yourself in their world
With a long and winding Pacific Ocean coastline flowing onto chiselled deserts, the Andean highlands and exuberant rainforests, Peru serves up a full taste of everything South America has to offer - and then a dollop more. The country’s dramatic geography makes for equally stunning landscapes, and there's a rich diversity in just about everything from the people, the cultures, the history, the gastronomy and the experiences. From meeting the dwellers of the highest freshwater lake in the world to exploring the deepest canyon in the Americas, exploring the remnants of ancient civilisations to sampling the fusion cuisine of downtown Lima, there's a contrast around every corner. Then, there's the adventure. Dusty sand dunes and majestic peaks are just the tip of the iceberg in this giant country - we're talking navigating the world's longest river, the Amazon, and spotting pink dolphins from a kayak or getting lost in the madness of a street festival. And, if you need more convincing, we have two words for you: Machu Picchu.
There’s a reason Peru is named the “World’s Leading Culinary Destination” over and over (and over!) again: anywhere and everywhere you go, the food will dazzle, from the freshest ceviche to the simple grilled anticuchos on a street corner.
Peru is a vast country and many visitors follow the same trail - but there’s plenty to discover off the beaten path. Plan ahead and explore hidden mountain villages and less-trodden hiking routes or time your trip to arrive for one of the many folk festivals.
Don't let Machu Picchu steal all the glory - Peru has SO much more to offer! Leave ample time for your visit, enjoy as many places as you can and you’ll end up with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Take our word for it.
