2 Peru – The Lost Gold Country

Peru, once known as the “Kingdom of the Sun”, is a country with a long history and rich heritage. Cuzco, which was the capital of the ancient Inca empire, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s described by Peruvians as “the pearl on the crown of the Andes”. Besides hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, must-sees for breathtaking views include Paracas National Reserve and Lake Titicaca.

Tips:

Bring your own toiletries such as a toothbrush and slippers. They are not offered in Peruvian hotels.

Prepare vaccination certificates before your trip as some areas require mandatory vaccination against yellow fever. It can be expensive if you get it after arrival.
