Marvel at Machu Picchu & More
Famed for its iconic landmarks and delectable cuisine, Peru is the third-largest country in South America next to Brazil and Argentina. This South America gem is home to one of the 7 wonders of the world, Machu Picchu – a mysterious ancient Incan citadel perched high on the Andes mountains, encompassing misty palaces, temples, plazas and mausoleums! It also holds the second-largest expanse of the Amazon, the world’s largest tropical rainforest, after Brazil. Peru is a world waiting to be explored, where every corner is steeped in history, mystery, and rich traditions that have been lovingly preserved through the ages.
Lima is the country’s quaint capital, steeped with rich colonial heritage, world-class gastronomy and stunning natural scenery. Callao is the main cruise port for Peru cruises, set on the Pacific coast of the capital. From boutiques and art galleries to 16th-century monasteries with creepy catacombs, Lima has something for everyone! Another renowned port city is Pisco, situated on the South Coast of Peru and known for its production of a namesake grape brandy – Peru’s National Drink! On Peru’s west coast, Paracas serves as the gateway to sun-kissed beaches and the wildlife-rich Ballestas Islands!
