What Should I See On My First Trip to Peru?

If you're heading to Peru for the first time you've got to see Machu Picchu - it's just incredible and really is as amazing as everyone says. Cusco's definitely worth exploring too it was actually the Inca capital and you'll love wandering through the Sacred Valley between Cusco and Machu Picchu. The views are stunning and you'll find fascinating Inca sites like Moray and Maras along the way. Don't miss Lake Titicaca it's the highest lake you can sail on and those floating islands are unlike anything you've seen before. In Lima make sure you dive into the food scene and check out the colonial architecture - the Larco Museum's pre-Columbian collection is really something special.

What Natural Areas Can I Visit Outside the Cities?

The Amazon rainforest is just incredible and easier to reach than you might think. Fly into Puerto Maldonado and you can stay at places like the Inkaterra Hacienda Concepcion - they'll set you up with amazing guided tours into the jungle. If you're up for something different head to Colca Canyon from Arequipa by bus. It's one of the world's deepest canyons and watching condors glide over those dramatic landscapes is absolutely unforgettable.

Which Historical Sites Should I Visit Besides Machu Picchu?

You'll be amazed by Moray's circular terraces they're a brilliant example of Inca agricultural innovation. The Maras salt ponds are pretty spectacular too - imagine over 3000 salt pools stretching out across the landscape they've been using them since Inca times. And definitely check out Sacsayhuaman just above Cusco the stonework in this massive Inca fortress will blow your mind.
