Welcome to Peru, one of the most biologically diverse countries on earth despite its small size. From the sunny, sandy Pacific Ocean beaches to snow-covered mountaintops over 6,000m+ (20,000ft+) in elevation, through lush rainforests, deep valleys, barren hillsides, gorgeous grasslands and the arid desert, every type of landscape can be found here.
Peru is home to a whopping 28 of the 32 world climates (imagine trying to be a meteorologist here) and almost 22,000 known species of plants and animals!
Although Lima is the capital and largest city, arguably the country’s most famous city is Machu Picchu, Lost City of the Inca. It does not matter how much you travel this nation, you have not actually experienced Peru until you’ve witnessed the majesty of Machu Picchu with your own two eyes. As one of the most well-known architectural wonders and ancient cities in the world, it is the country’s #1 claim to fame, its first UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its most popular tourist attraction.
