Inside - Peru

Find the best inside information...

... hidden treasures that are no less exciting and inviting.

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Peru?

• Quite possibly, you think of Machu Picchu and the colorful Inca Civilization.
  
  
• Or maybe it's the intriguing Nazca Lines
  
  
• Or the fascinating Amazon jungle.
  
  

That's because these truly are some of the wonders of the world.

Here we will cover not only those world-reknowned places but will dig deeper into the culture, sights, sounds, tastes, adventure of Peru travel and Peruvian life in a way that most other sites just can't do.

Why is it that we can we really, really get Inside PERU? We live here!

David and Lin Schneider

I (David) am Peruvian by birth. My wife Lin and I currently live in Northern Peru.

But you won't be hearing just from us. You'll see photos and read about Peru from real people who are traveling and/or living in Peru.

Sharing experiences and getting questions from the insider's viewpoint is what this site is about.

Because of being right here in Peru, Lin and I as well as our other contributors have the opportunity to find out first hand the out-of-the way places...as well great suggestions for best vacations, tours, and hotels that can be found inside Peru.

Well-known Spots Covered Include

• Nazca Lines
• Lake Titicaca
• The Peruvian Amazon
• Machu Picchu and Cuzco

Some of the Lesser-known Spots Covered Include

• The Coast

What is the most raved about destination among the younger crowd in Lima, especially on school breaks?

It's not Machu Picchu or Titicaca...it is Mancora and the nearby beaches of the Northern Coast of Peru.

You can get the full tropical beach rush as well as almost 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.

• Peru's Cities, Towns, and Pueblos.

Where can you find locally-made beads and jewelry?

Do you know where real Panama hats are made in Peru?

What towns are noted for their Alpaca and other Peruvian textiles and woven goods?

What Lin and I really hope to do as we get the time 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.

Do you have a favorite story and/or photo you can share about your Peru experiences? Or why not read favorite stories from other folks?
