It's the multiple layers of great civilisations that make Peru so intriguing. You can wander around colonial cities that have preserved the legacy of the Spanish conquistadors, visit the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco, explore the lost city of Machu Picchu and ponder the enigma of the Nazca Lines.

Clinging to the Andes, between the coastal desert and the Amazon rainforest, Peru offers such a wide range of experiences that it can be difficult to choose between them. There are museums to visit, lakes to ogle, waves to surf, labyrinthine cities to explore and a long lost civilisation hidden in the mountains.

With snow-capped mountains, huge sand dunes, flocks of tropical birds, picture-perfect volcanoes and rocky Pacific outcroppings inhabited by argumentative sea lions, Peru is as diverse as it is appealing.
