Machu PIcchu: THE experience of your trip to Peru !

My suggestion

Try to be among the first to arrive at Machu Picchu, from 6 a.m. There are fewer people and the ruins look mysterious under the morning mist. Be aware that the restaurant on the site is ridiculously expensive, so bring a picnic with you.

Machu Picchu has, since 2007, been listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World and certainly merits its reputation. This is an absolute must-see during a holiday in Peru.

My suggestion

Go on one of the many treks around Machu Picchu to get a great insight into this ancient city. Even better, hit the famous Inca Trail or one of the other treks leading to Machu Picchu.

The very famous Machu Picchu, an unmissable sight, that in itself makes a trip to Peru worthwhile. It's a work or art, the pinnacle of artistic and human achievement and, overcrowded or not, it was the highlight of my holiday.

My suggestion

It is strongly advised that you buy your ticket in advance, either on arrival at Cuzco or on the official website, because entrance numbers are limited! It's the same for the famous Inca Trail, make sure that you book well in advance.

Surf, try new things, explore and more in Ica

Whilst you are in Peri, you must definitely explore the surroundings of Ica. Who would have believed that the country is home to an oasis and a desert, penguins, Pisco and everything, all in such a small place? A journey to the heart of the region can offer you incredible diversity and an unforgettable experience with nature.

Huarez: a jewel nestled between snow-covered peaks

Huaraz is the perfect departure point for excursions into both the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra. It's in the heights of the Sierra that you will truly discover all the fantastic features that the Ancash region has to offer.

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest: Iquitos and its floating shantytown

Arriving in Iquitos by air gives a foretaste of what awaits you in the dense jungle. From above, all you see is a thick forest that covers the land as far as the eye can see, where only the river and its tributaries stand out from an immense green carpet.

Pasco and Huancavélica: a voyage combining nature and tradition

Located between the Selva and the Cordillera of the Andes, the Huancavélica and Cerro Pasco region will put you under its spell, with its incredible landscapes, the welcoming nature of the local inhabitants and the old traditions that are still very much alive
