Cusco is the preferred city in Latin America according to Travel and Leisure magazine

According to voter comments, Cusco dazzles with its invaluable history, its proximity to the Andes, its architecture and the variety of experiences inside and outside the city. In addition, the excellence of our cuisine is also highlighted, cataloging it as one of the best in the world.

The second city of barro del mundo, chan chan and los chimú

Chachapoyas, mochicas, lambayeque-sicán ... and we still had one more culture to discover in the #LatTrip before arriving in Lima: the Chimú or Chimor Culture. In Trujillo we visited what was its capital: Chan Chan, the largest mud city in the world at the time - and now occupies the second place behind Bam, in Iran. At its peak it occupied an area of 22 km2 and had a population of between 60,000 and 300,000 inhabitants - archaeologists disagree on this point. Again, even more in this case, we decided that going through adobe avenues without an explanation would not be the best way to get to know this great culture and we opted for a guided tour.

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.

Places to discover in Lima

To begin, they say that the best way to know a place is from the eyes of a local; and the district of Lima is no exception. Explore the capital with this historic Free Walking Tour Lima, where you can live the best of its culture and know all the history that has taken them to this day. Tours depart at 9:30 am every day (except Sundays) from the Tourist Information Center in Miraflores; in the guided tour they will be explained more about their stops and their stories; such as the historic center, the government palace (plaza de armas), San Martin square, the cathedral of Lima, the Rimac river; where you can see the hill San Cristóbal, and others the most important points of the capital city. Alternatively, you can take a tour of Miraflores, which leaves at 3pm (except Sundays) the same, from the Tourist Information Center.

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.

The moche route in chiclayo: the lord of sipan

After our visit to Chachapoyas knowing its ancient culture, our trip through Peru continued with pre-Inca archeology and civilizations. As we wanted, in this second visit to the country, we continued traveling in time, but much further back. We introduce you to the Moches or Mochicas, one of the most important civilizations in northern Peru for their art –impressive ceramics–, longevity and extension.

Cusco: Inca Trail routes and what you should know about Machu Picchu and surroundings

In its moment of maximum splendor, the Inca Empire extended its power over several countries in the region and therefore established a gigantic network of roads known as Qhapac Ñan (royal or Inca road, in Quechua), which came to unite Quito (Ecuador ) with Tucumán (Argentina) through the Andes Mountains. Our Inca Trail is just a small part of this wide circuit, which stands out for its incredible landscapes, important archaeological complexes, as well as for its great diversity of flora and fauna.
