Top things to do in Peru
Visit Machu Picchu
Choose to walk the Inca Trail and approach Machu Picchu on foot – this famous walk follows an old Inca roadway with breathtaking views and fascinating archaeological sites en route. Alternatively, take a Vistadome, Inca Rail or Belmond Hiram Bingham train to arrive at Machu Picchu in style.
Watch condors at the Colca Canyon
One of the deepest canyons in the world, Colca Canyon is also home to numbers of condors that fly overhead. The observation point at Condors Cross is where you may be lucky to see one at close range, against the backdrop of distant snow-capped volcanoes.
