Peru

Once the epicenter of the Inca Empire, modern Peru is the ultimate cultural destination. From the metropolitan capital of Lima, perched on cliffs along the Pacific Ocean, to the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu guarding the Sacred Valley, and to colorful Rainbow Mountain in the Andes Mountains, Peru is a vivid and diverse mixture of landscapes and cultures.

Peruvian cuisine integrates Inca staples into a melting pot filled with Spanish, Italian, German, African, Chinese, and Japanese influences. This centuries-spanning fusion has produced famous local gems like Ceviche, Chifa, and Pisco Sour. Savor all Peru has to offer, be it seafood along the coast, meat and potatoes in the Andes Mountains, or fruits and vegetables in the rainforest.
