Plan you holiday in Peru with Nanan Travel
Peru is a country of extraordinary diversity, where ancient civilisations, breathtaking landscapes, and world-renowned gastronomy come together. From the heights of the Andes to the depths of the Amazon, and from Machu Picchu’s legendary ruins to the sun-drenched beaches of the north, Peru offers a captivating mix of adventure, culture, and natural beauty.
TOP ATTRACTIONS
Machu Picchu & The Sacred Valley
Set in the majestic Andean mountains, Machu Picchu is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, a masterpiece of Incan engineering and mysticism. The nearby Sacred Valley is a treasure trove of archaeological wonders, traditional villages, and breathtaking landscapes. From the terraces of Moray to the ancient salt pans of Maras, this region is rich in history and beauty.
Lima
Peru’s capital, Lima, is a dynamic blend of colonial charm, modern sophistication, and world-renowned cuisine. Home to Michelin-starred restaurants and vibrant street food markets, Lima is a must-visit for food lovers. Surf enthusiasts can ride the waves along the Costa Verde, or head north to Chicama, home to the longest wave in the world.
Kuelap & Gocta Falls
Often referred to as the “Machu Picchu of the North,” Kuelap is an imposing pre-Incan fortress, built by the Chachapoya civilisation high in the cloud forests of northern Peru. Nearby, the Gocta Waterfall—one of the world’s tallest—offers an unforgettable hike through lush jungles and misty cliffs.
Lake Titicaca
At 3,812 metres above sea level, Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world. Explore the Uros floating islands, built entirely from reeds, and experience the rich traditions of the Quechua and Aymara communities.
Amazon Rainforest
Peru’s Amazon basin is one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Whether staying in a luxury jungle lodge in Iquitos or embarking on a river cruise through the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, the Amazon is a haven for wildlife lovers and adventure seekers.
Paracas & The Nazca Lines
The Paracas Peninsula is home to stunning coastal landscapes and rich marine life, including the Ballestas Islands, often called the “Galápagos of Peru”. Just inland, the Nazca Lines—a collection of enormous geoglyphs etched into the desert floor—remain one of the world’s greatest archaeological mysteries. Take a scenic flight for a breathtaking aerial view of these ancient wonders.
Northern Peru
For those seeking tranquil beaches and world-class surf, northern Peru is a dream destination. The coastal town of Máncora is famous for its golden sands, turquoise waters, and laid-back luxury resorts.
