20 typical dishes of Peru that you should not stop eating

Peruvian cuisine is a symbol of pride for each of its inhabitants. It is one of the most extensive and exquisite in the world without a doubt. Every day, representatives of our kitchen create new techniques and variations of dishes that definitely delight the palate of their lucky guests. A country blessed with a privileged kitchen, which costs a lot to decide which one is better than another. However, there are 20 typical dishes of Peru that you should not stop eating:
The best hiking trails in Peru

The trip to Peru offers many wonderful hiking trails, we recommend some in the wonderful "capital" Cuzco and the unforgettable Machu Picchu.
How to get to machu picchu for your account from cusco

I think that three times they are insufficient when traveling to Machu Picchu, because as of this publication, I still have questions in my head, about the magnitude and grandeur of one of the 7 new World Wonders, a traveling dream that I wanted to fulfill since History classes at school. To make your trip as easy as possible, I have prepared this information to get from Cuzco to Machu Picchu and enjoy this enigmatic World Heritage Site.
Eat in lima typical dishes of Peruvian gastronomy

Peru, my longed-for Peru, is a culinary reason that is gradually gaining worldwide fans with its traditional Peruvian foods. Throughout the country you can find a wide variety of foods, of which we go as an appetizer with 8 dishes that you must eat in Lima, the capital, a gastronomic destination par excellence.
The questions and answers of the nazca lines

There are mysteries in this world that have been igniting the imagination of human beings for centuries: from the construction techniques of the pyramids of Egypt or Stonehenge to what happened with cultures that disappeared completely without leaving any more trace than their sculptures - like that of St. Augustine in Colombia or that of the megalithic temples of Malta. We like the questions we cannot answer - some for now and others never - so, being in Peru, we could not stop flying over one of those classic mysteries: the Nazca lines. It is clear that we do not have all the answers, but we do know what the questions are: what, when, where, who and how.
How to get to kuélap: la fortaleza in chachapoyas

Therefore, in this guide I want to let you know the various recommendations and alternatives to reach Kuélap and thus know or live in first person the living legacy of the Chachapoyas.
With so much to see and do, a trip to Peru could last a lifetime, but we select the best to make it round.

Machu Picchu is one of the 7 Wonders of the World and any trip to Peru must include your visit. This citadel impresses anyone, not only for its buildings, which can still be perceived, but for its incredible location. Machu Picchu is between mountains, almost 2500 meters above sea level, and one is not able to imagine how such a huge construction could be completed in such an inhospitable place. In addition, Machu Picchu emanates a special energy and we recommend you visit it first thing in the morning, especially at dawn, when you will have it practically for yourself. The sunrise in Machu Picchu can become the star of your trip to Peru and you should not miss it.
Alternative Routes to the Inca Trail

I know that knowing Machu Picchu is the dream of many, and even more so to get there as the Incas went there, walking the Inca Trail. The Incas over the years built an elaborate and extensive system of trails, known as the Qhapac Ñan, that connected all of Tahuantinsuyo
Cusco on a day of excursion: travel the incas ruins

If you decide to stay in the capital of Cusco, the document I recommend is the Partial Tourist Ticket, enough to go to four (4) of the best archaeological complexes that are very close to the city.
