Peru: a privileged destination
Heir to ancient
cultures and a rich colonial tradition, Perú is a
magical spot which involves one of the richest
biodiversities of Earth, and is a melting pot of
different cultures who together are forging the promise
of a better future.
Archaeological heritage
Ten thousand years of history are lived through 180
museums and historical places. While Peru inevitably
evokes images of Machu Picchu and the Inca empire, the
country is also riddled with archaeological sites which
are a legacy of even more ancient times, when great
civilizations bequeathed a legacy of their art, customs
and rituals, their wisdom and skills.
Nature and Landscapes
As home to 84 of the 104 life zones that exist on
our plant makes Peru a privileged destination for nature
lovers.
Close to 20% of the worlds birds and 10% of the world's
reptiles nest here.
Peru has converted 13% of its territory into Protected
Natural Areas.
Festivities and
Traditions
Peru is a country that sings and dances in joy and
sadness with color and a great deal of paraphernalia.
Peruvians celebrate some 3,000 festivals all over the
country.
Incomparable cuisine
Over 40,000 restaurants across the country reflect
the diversity of a nation that has mixed its native
traditions with the cuisines of Europe, Arabia, China,
Africa and Japan. The result: unique flavours that make
Peruvian cuisine one of the best and most varied in the
world. |
