Fly over the puzzling geoglyphs etched into the arid earth at Nazca, or venture into the rugged wilds that hem the stalwart fortress of Kuelap. Lima's great museums, with priceless ceramics, gold and some of the finest textiles in the world.

No matter what sort of holiday you are looking for, Peru holidays will have something to match it.
