Once the heart of the Inca Empire, Machu Picchu remains one of the best places to visit in Peru, with its mist-shrouded ruins and awe-inspiring terraces. Its scale is staggering — like discovering an ancient city frozen in time, high in the Andes.
But Peru offers more than just Machu Picchu. The capital, Lima, is a vibrant mix of colonial charm and modern energy, with world-renowned restaurants, buzzing markets, and a dramatic clifftop coastline. In the south, Cusco’s cobbled streets lead to centuries-old cathedrals, lively plazas, and remnants of Inca grandeur at every turn.
