Regional Recommendations

Peruvians choose to consider their country as having three regions: La Costa (the coast), La Sierra (the Andes) and La Selva (the jungle). Each offers so very much for the traveler!

1. La Costa. From the Northern beaches devoted to browsing and incredibly fresh seafood, to the vibrant city of Lima, to the Colonial charm of Arequipa and the ancient question of the Nazca lines, the coast offers so much against the backdrop of the blue Pacific.
2. La Sierra. The Andes offer breathtaking scenery, tons of Inca and ancient lifestyle, and a plethora of outdoors exercise. Base yourself in Cusco and the Sacred Valley to see Machu Picchu, enjoy whitewater rafting, discover ruins on horseback or simply museum-hop and shop the neighborhood artisan markets. Don´t forget to sample guinea pig!
3. La Selva. The Peruvian Amazon is gigantic and offers everything from luxury cruises, piranha fishing, shamanic retreats where you can sample ayahuasca, and jungle wildlife sighting.
