Holiday Planning Guide, Locations and Travel Information throughout Peru
Peru is a country of contrasts. Situated on the west coast of South America, it offers a wide variety of attractions, from beautiful beaches and rocky coastal outcrops to stunning mountain scenery and steamy tropical rain forests. Add to this the mysterious mountain-top city Machu Picchu and you have a country with something for every traveler.
Over the course of its long history, Peru has hosted a number of ancient civilizations, with the oldest of these, the Norte Chico, dating back as far as 3000 BC. The Norte Chico era was followed by a number of other important South American cultures, the greatest among these being that of the Incas, who built the amazing Machu Picchu.
The Spanish arrived in the 16th century, the nadir of the Inca era, and ruled Peru for over three hundred years. The Spanish left a deep and palpable imprint on the country, but Peru's more ancient history is everywhere to be seen as well.
