Peru

Discover Peru with Iberostar

Travel to the heart of the Inca civilization, where 200 miles of sandy beaches, the emblematic Machu Picchu, and the wild Amazon Rainforest await you. Not to mention cosmopolitan Lima, whose historic center is one of the twelve natural and cultural sites in Peru recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.   

Peru boasts more than one thousand sites of archeological interest, among which Caral, the oldest civilization of the Americas so-far discovered, Chan Chan, the biggest pre-Colombian ruins of the Americas, and the photogenic Incan city of Machu Picchu cannot be missed.

The richness of this country’s natural landscape is simply stunning, with 17% of it being protected. Discover the Amazon River, the depths of the Andes gorges, and the world’s highest navigable body of water, Lake Titicaca.  

What’s more, the country’s wealth of cultural sites is also impressive, with eleven being declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. And, although Spanish is the most widely spoken language, the country has more than 50 local languages including Quechua, spoken by 13% of the population. 

All of this is combined with a world-famous selection of gastronomy. Ceviche and pisco are just some well-known examples from a country with one of the world’s most varied gastronomies, the result of pre-Colombian fusion cuisine with Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian and ÁSub-Saharan African influences.
