Peru. Live the Legend
Be amazed by unmatched beauty as you discover the wonders of Peru
Lima: history, fun, and comfort
While in Peru, don’t pass up the opportunity of a fun-filled tour of this city, teeming with unparalleled
history, culture, and food. First stop is an area of immense historical value: downtown Lima, striking
due to its landmarks and just twenty minutes from any of its modern hotels.
Another site to see is China Town, a vivid expression of the blend of Peru and China manifested
in architecture and food. Not far from there is the Parque de la Reserva where the city of Lima
constructed an inmense and fantastic network of water fountains.
When it is time to eat, you will find an array of choices that will leave your mouth watering. Peru
has become one of the world’s top gastronomic tourism destinations, and we guarantee your staff
won’t want to miss out on the party, whose star is Peru’s emblematic dish: cebiche.
Farther south
Forty-five minutes south of Lima, off the Pan American Highway, sits the Mamacona Ranch, whose
guests will seemingly step back in time to the Spanish Colony. Its premises, lakes, and wooded
areas are perfect places for a treasure hunt or role playing. Or, take in a horse show, featuring a
champion breed of show horse: the Peruvian paso, world famous for its elegant gait and the purity
of the blood line. You can end the day at the important pre-Incan center of Pachacamac. A walk
through of the site impresses all comers, especially the unique two story palace.
Ica: more adventures south of the capital
A journey farther south, some four hours, takes you to the Ica Region and its perfect desert landscape,
complete with sand dunes straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster. What seems like an empty
wasteland is really the site of surprising activities, like dune buggy racing of sandboarding. In this
region are also the Nazca Lines, these mysterious designs were scratched onto the desert floor by an
ancient civilization and can only be viewed from an airplane.
Ica is also synonymous with ecology, boasting two important natural refuges: the Paracas Natural
Reserve and the Ballestas Islands. Take a trip on motor boat rides to check out the stars of Peruvian
coastal wildlife, sea lions and Humboldt penguins.
There are also plenty of vineyards in Ica where you can see how they make Peru’s flagship liquor,
pisco, which is taking the world by storm because of its quality. You will learn the correct way of
tasting pisco and how to make the famous Pisco Sour.
The magical beauty of Cusco
Continuing south. This time by plane, one hour from Lima, is the city of Cusco, capital of the Incan
Empire, a perfectly balanced teeter-totter with history on one end and sophistication on the other.
The list of things you can do in and around Cusco seems to have no end. First, take an excursion to
the town of Pisac to see the Intiwatana, an exceptional stone sculpture the Incas used as a sun dial.
From there, travel to Chinchero to shop at one of the most traditional outdoor markets in the area.
There, artisans still make blankets and shawls the centuries old way; you can even watch them
at their craft. And of course, the market is famous for its battering. Lastly, go tour the church at
Andahuaylillas to check out its intricately painted walls and ceiling.
One day in Cusco must be set aside for a visit to Machu Picchu, lost city of the Incas and one of the
new 7 Wonders of the World. It starts off with a train ride on the Hiram Bingham from Cusco to the
last stop in village of Aguas Calientes, a route NBC placed among the 10 best train rides on the
planet.
On the return journey, an obligatory stop is the neighborhood of San Blas, center of Cusco handmade
crafts where whole families of artisans have set up shop, like the Meridas and Mendivils.
Arequipa, the White City
Of course there is more. The city of Arequipa is just a thirty minute flight from Cusco. It is called the
White City because of the white volcanic stone, called sillar, used in building construction. UNESCO
even added the historic center to its World Heritage List in 2000, and there you can visit MestizoBaroque churches and Spanish Colony mansions. One of the more interesting landmarks is the Santa
Catalina Convent, a Spanish city in miniature, complete with stone alleys, lovely patios, and plazas.
One of the most extraordinary Peruvian destinations is the Colca Canyon. It plunges to a depth of
3400 meters, nearly double that of the Grand Canyon, and condors fly over daily, a breathtaking
sight for all to see.
Dotting the mountains throughout the entire area are eye catching agricultural terraces, built long
before the Incas and where farmers today still cultivate quinoa, corn, barley, and wheat. Before the
Spanish had arrived, the region was inhabited by the Collaguas and Cabanas. The Spanish Colonial
churches in some towns, like Yanque, Lari, and Madrigal, are extremely well preserved, and the
locals dress in beautiful traditional outfits. Likewise, the Colca River and Canyon offer plenty of
opportunities to raft, mountain bike, and trek. Another site of interest is the Cruz del Condor, a perfect
place to view condors gliding on the updrafts that rise from the valley below.
Step back in time
Without doubt Machu Picchu is the most renowned Inca site and has been acclaimed as one of the
‘New Seven Wonders of the World’. However Peru has a much longer history dating back hundreds
and thousands of years before the Inca’s and exciting archaeological discoveries are still being
made, particularly in Peru’s northern regions.
Moche Route
Cao Museum
The new Cao Museum, which opened in April 2009 in the northern region of Trujillo, marks the 2005
discovery of a pre-Colombian tomb belonging to a Royal Lady that died at the age of 20. The tomb
was discovered in a perfect state within a ceremonial complex to honour the burial of this royal
member. Now visitors can marvel at the impressive conservation of this tomb and artefacts.
Kuelap Fortress
This stone built impressive fortress proudly stands at an altitude of 3000 meters above sea level
and is said to be the Machu Picchu of the North. Built by the Chachapoyas, known as the Cloud
People, who inhabited the area from 1000 AD to 1470 AD, it demonstrates their engineering talents.
Three times the amount of building materials used to construct the Great Pyramids of Egypt were
used to create the Kuelap Fortress, construction located in the region of Amazonas.
Huaca Rajada
In 2007 and 2008 exciting discoveries of two tombs from the Moche Civilisation was discovered by
the prestigious archaeologist Walter Alva, who also found the Lord of Sipan, and Steve Bourget
in Huaca Rajada, near the city of Chiclayo, capital of Lambayeque. The new discoveries were the
remains of members of the Moche elite, buried over 1700 years ago, found in a wooden coffins and
covered in flags with armour and shields of silver and copper.
Royal Tombs of Sipan National Museum
This museum is considered to be one of the best in Latin America housing an impressive collection
of artefacts discovered in the tomb of the great Warrior, Lord Sipan, from the Moche Civilisation. The
modern architectural structure of the museum represents the shape of the adobe pyramids, under
which Lord Sipan was found. Included in the many artefacts are earrings, nose rings, necklaces
and ceremonial sceptres. Archaeologist Walter Alva, director of the project was also first to enter
the tomb, one of the most important finds of the twentieth century. This museum is placed in
Lambayeque.
Huaca of the Sun and of the Moon
Located 500 meters apart from one another, Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna (Temple of the
Sun and Moon) are two of the most impressive Peruvian pyramids, built for ceremonial purposes
by the Moche around 500 AD. Huaca de la Luna is composed of six superimposed temples and large
polychrome walls. The friezes, are very prominent features of the temple and are surrounded by
symbols of the Moche God of Life and Death, know as Ai-Apec. Many human sacrifices would have
taken place in these temples to honour Ai-Apec.
Chan Chan
The ancient Chimú Kingdom (700-1400 AD) founded its capital by the banks of the Moche River in
the region La Libertad and called it Chan-Chan, which in the ancient Moche language means “sunsun”. Chan Chan, which spans an area of 20 square km, is the largest mud-brick citadel dating back
to the pre-Hispanic era.
The jungle just around the corner
Books have been written, documentaries have been filmed, but nothing compares to the experience
of being here in the department properly called “Mother of God” ... Tambopata National Reserve,
with its 274 690 hectares, is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet: it have been estimated
632 bird species, 1,200 of butterflies, 103 amphibians, 180 fish, 169 reptiles and 103 mammals. Come
meet them. Between May and October rainfall decreases and is the Creation itself which appears
before our senses ... Boas and caimans, primates and felines, prehistoric-looking insects fill the
jungle where, in a single hectare you can find 150 different types of trees. Here green is not a color: is
a world. It is worth flying 30 minutes from Cusco, or even to navigate the Tambopata River for 6 or
9 days from Puno, and marvel at the famous collpas, places full of clay where crowds of macaws,
parrots, and hawks come between 5:30 and 9:00 a.m. to eat and create a live festival of colors
and sounds. There is no comparable show in the world. And this is just a sample of what can be
discovered here.
In Loreto, 90 minutes away from the capital, the so-called “forest of mirrors” awaits you ... Here
the sky looks at himself in the dark waters of the rivers, visitors can venture into the green forest
for days, sailing with surprise, as walking through a mirror: we are in the National Reserve Pacaya
Samiria, the largest floodplain forest of the Amazon (2.08 million hectares, an area comparable to
the Republic of Slovenia).
This is one of the most biologically rich areas on Earth. With 965 species of wild plant, 1,025
vertebrates and 449 of birds that live in this forest that gets bigger as you travel. Observe closely
the lives of white herons (Ardea alba) and tuyuyos (Jabiru mycteria), listen to howler monkeys
(Alouatta seniculus) singing in the distance, there are those who come here just to listen to nature
or watch the pumas (Puma concolor ) and sloths (Bradypus tridactylus) sensually moving among
the leaves. See right now hundreds of endangered species. This is Peru. Here are communities where
people still live according to the rules of nature: Shipibos, shiwilus, Kukama-kukamillas can be,
your hosts in the jungle. Some have seen their lives transformed after tasting the flesh of the paiche
(Arapaima gigas), fish from the river that can reach 3 meters long, you can look at the black caiman
(Melanosuchus niger) in the middle of the night or share a bath with that beautiful mythical creature
called pink river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis). The world ends here.
