Imagine scenery on the epic scale of an Indiana Jones or Lara Croft flick: forgotten temples entangled in jungle vines, cobwebbed
ancient tombs baking in the desert sun and bejeweled buried treasures beyond all reckoning. Wild rivers that rage, pumas
prowling in the night and hallucinogenic shaman rituals – it’s not just 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.
