Peru tours

| March 5, 2012

Peru is one of the most amazing tour destinations in South America. A Peru tour will bring you to the fascinating city of Cusco, the rich historical and archaeological sites in Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail and the Sacred Valley.  You can also enjoy diverse adventure in Peru’s mountains, rivers and coasts and experience the Amazon jungle.

There is a different kind of Peru tour to suit everyone. For example, you can take a Peru tour by destination, which simply means the tour will be around one or two specific locations. You will visit a particular city or a tourist attraction. Aside from the popular Cusco – Machu Picchu tour, there is a tour featuring Lake Titicaca where you can visit the floating island of the Uros and stay overnight at the Amantani Island. Surround yourself with the rich culture and heritage of Peru in a sightseeing and cultural tour of the capital city of Lima.

Nature lovers will surely love an ecological Peru tour that features the natural wonders of this beautiful country. Start this tour at the Tambopata Reserved Zone, a diverse ecological system where you get the chance to observe different species of birds, butterflies, monkeys and other wildlife. This tour will also take you to the Tres Chimbadas Oxbow Lake and the Posada Amazons. A good addition to your nature trip is a visit to Palomino Islands where you can swim with the sea lions.

For the adventurous and sporty types, you can choose an adventure sport Peru tour where you can go paragliding in Miraflores or in the Paracas National Reserve. The Miraflores paragliding tour takes off at Raimondi Park and gives a spectacular view of the Costa Verde and the Miraflores Lighthouse. Fishing is another favorite activity in Peru. Try offshore fishing on the Mancora Bank, where you can also go water-skiing, oaring or yachting. To the south of Lima is the city of Ica, ideal for sea bass and flounder fishing. From here, you can easily reach some of the best beaches in Peru. A famous Peru tour is a hike of the stunning Inca Trail that offers the incredible sight of the Inca ruins and exotic landscape views. A four day trekking tour will take you to the citadel of Macchu Pichu.

There are so plenty of options to choose from for your Peru tour. If you want to see all the famous Peru sites in just one visit, there is a two week all inclusive tour of the best Peru attractions. If you only have a few days to visit Peru, identify what type of Peru tour will most interest you and your companions. For instance, not everyone will be interested to go fishing so a fishing tour is obviously not a good choice. Choose to go to places that you know you will all enjoy.
