Peru is a country of breathtaking diversity, offering everything from ancient ruins to vibrant cities, and from towering mountains to dense rainforests. Whether you’re drawn to the mystique of Machu Picchu or the allure of the Amazon, Peru offers an array of experiences for every traveler. Let UNCOVERED Travel guide you through this enchanting country, where history and nature meet in the most extraordinary ways.

The Andean region of Peru is famous for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Here, the peaks of the Andes stretch toward the sky, creating a dramatic backdrop for some of the country’s most iconic sites.

Machu Picchu: No trip to Peru is complete without a visit to the legendary Machu Picchu. This ancient Incan city, perched high in the Andes, remains one of the world’s most mysterious and awe-inspiring archaeological sites. Whether you hike the Inca Trail or take a scenic train ride, arriving at Machu Picchu is an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
Cusco: Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is a charming city where ancient history and vibrant culture intersect. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with colonial architecture, explore colorful markets, and discover hidden treasures at every turn. Don’t miss the impressive Sacsayhuamán fortress and the beautiful Qorikancha temple.
Sacred Valley: Just outside of Cusco lies the Sacred Valley, a region filled with picturesque villages, terraced fields, and Inca ruins. Explore the traditional markets of Pisac, hike to the Maras salt mines, or visit the archaeological site of Ollantaytambo, an ancient Inca stronghold.

Venture into the Amazon

Peru is also home to a significant portion of the Amazon rainforest, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. For those looking to immerse themselves in nature, a journey into the Amazon offers a completely different side of Peru.

Iquitos and the Amazon River: Iquitos, a bustling city accessible only by air or river, serves as the gateway to the Peruvian Amazon. From here, embark on a river cruise along the mighty Amazon River, where you can spot exotic wildlife, visit remote villages, and experience the incredible flora and fauna of the rainforest.
Tambopata National Reserve: For a deeper Amazon experience, head to Tambopata National Reserve. This protected area is a haven for wildlife, including macaws, jaguars, and giant otters. Stay in an eco-lodge and explore the rainforest with expert naturalist guides who can uncover the secrets of this unique ecosystem.
