Travel
to Peru,
a fascinating country filled with culture, history and contrasts, a
travel destination like no other. From the Pacific coast to the snow
capped mountains of the Andes, the people and history of Cuzco and
Machu Picchu to the Amazon River and the natives in the rain forest
Peru has something to offer for all kinds of travelers.
A country where past and present are
culturally entangled, where centuries have gone by
without notice. When visiting Peru we observe memories of earlier
periods everywhere. It is rich in
historic culture of proud people and traditions, spectacular varied scenery, preserved beauty and
mysterious places. The Andes of Peru is amazingly
stunning offering refreshing simplicity and even now
it is still home to millions of highland Indians who speak the
native tongue of Quechua and practice customs as
they have done for many centuries. It is the colonial preservation
of Conquistador legacy that truly never conquered but melded and
blended.
Peru is a country
of great diversity where we find arid coastal deserts, farming oasis,
quaint fishing villages and the Amazon basin. The
tall Andean Sierras where the mystery and intrigue
of the ancient Inca Empire still lies.
A visit to Peru is not complete until you visit the city of Cuzco where past and present collide. The
city is the
mythical capital of the Inca Empire and today's
archeological center of Peru. It is also the jumping
point for the ruins of Machu Picchu. Undiscovered
beneath dense foliage for thousands of years until
somewhat recently discovered in 1911 the ruins are
an amazing spectacle.
Besides the intriguing history and culture, Peru also is home to
Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake with
over 3,000 square miles of deep blue waters and
over 30 islands. A discovery of this most sacred body of water in
the Inca Empire is one of Latin Tours Online most
popular programs.
Peru is a once in a lifetime tour
experience which we are proud to offer to our
clients. Your interest and respect of mystical nature, a thirst for
ancient Peruvian history and your spirit of adventure, the people
and their colorful traditions, all this will make Peru a great
