From the sun and surf beaches of the Pacific Coast, across the stark and beautiful desert, steeply climbing into dizzying heights of the snow-covered Andes Mountains, and dropping into some of the world's most exotic and verdant jungles, Peru is a land of variety and exciting travel adventures!
The most-visited places in Peru are Cusco and Machu Picchu. These definitely should head your list of sights to see.
On the other hand there is so much more to see as you discover what's inside Peru!
"Going to Peru is ... well ... if you ever have an opportunity in your life to go there, you should do it because it is absolutely mind boggling." - actor Dean Stockwell
That's because these truly are some of the wonders of ancient and modern Peru, the Americas, in fact of the world.
Here we will cover not only those world-renowned places but will dig deeper into the culture, sights, sounds, tastes, and adventure of travel and Peruvian life and travel in a way that most other sites just can't do.
The Pacific North Coast![]() Punta Veleros |
It's not Machu Picchu or Titicaca...it is Mancora and the nearby beaches of the Northern Coast.
You can get the full tropical beach rush as well as perfect world-class waves coming off the Pacific Ocean...or find a quiet beach where you can sip an ice-cold drink under the coco palms.
Yet the coastal or beach areas are barely touched on by many Peru travel guides.What Lin and I will be doing as we travel and research this amazing country is to supply information that perhaps you have been looking for and have had a hard time finding. I know that we have spent many hours looking at a lot of good sites on Peru but just not finding some things that were important to us.
Hopefully, we can begin to fill in those gaps on this site.
One of the best things about traveling is sharing!
Do you have a favorite story and/or photo you can share about your Peruvian experiences?
Or why not read favorite stories from other folks?
Enjoy!
