Imagine scenery on the epic scale of an Indiana Jones or Laura Croft flick: Forgotten temples entangled in jungle vines,
cobwebbed ancient tombs enticing you inward and bejeweled buried treasures beyond all reckoning. Wild rivers that rage,
pumas prowling in the night and hallucinogenic shaman rituals – it’s not a movie here, it’s real life. Like a continent in
miniature, Peru will astound you with its diversity. Not even fierce Inca warriors or Spanish conquistadors could totally
dominate such jaw-dropping terrain, from glaciated Andean peaks where majestic condors soar, to almost limitless coastal
deserts, to the steamy rainforests of the Amazon basin. Peru is home to snow-capped mountains, giant sand dunes, flocks
of brightly hued tropical birds, postcard-perfect volcanoes and rocky Pacific outcroppings inhabited by argumentative sea
lions that will send your camera into overdrive.
