Peru Tailor Made Holidays

While Peru is of course synonymous with Machu Picchu and the Incas, the reality is that as a civilisation they were merely the last in a long line of organised societies dating back some 5,000 years. While the Incas were around for barely 150 years others, such as the Moche and Chachapoyas, lasted far longer. Nowhere in the country is the varied evidence of these cultures better displayed than the region stretching north of Lima to Trujillo and inland into the Andes. From coastal desert through stunning cloudforest to soaring mountains and gorges, the stunning natural scenery, birdlife and fauna complement the archaeological treasures, and compensates for some long drives. Far less visited than the more famous names in southern Peru, the area is developing in terms of its tourism infrastructure, as travellers begin to discover the historic marvels, excellent cuisine and friendly people of the north. Hugely rewarding for those who make the effort, Northern Peru is a region which cries out to be visited now, while its magic is relatively undiscovered.  Read more about Ancient Wonders of Northern Peru
