Tourism in Cusco Peru is one of the most famous, since there is Machu Picchu, one of the most important wonders of the world for humanity.

Cusco is a place that makes you travel back in time, when the Inca empire ruled Peru from a citadel built from giant rocks located on top of a mountain.

Machu Picchu is full of mysteries and is considered an energetic place. Each space manages to transmit peace and a lot of reflection on what civilization was like in Peru before.

What else can I know in Machu Picchu?

The beautiful terraces (also called "platforms") and colcas (warehouses), which represented the agricultural system of the Incas.

The staircase of sources, an amazing work of hydraulic engineering that provided water to Cusco.

Temple of the Sun, a ceremonial altar carved in rock with 2 windows from where you can see the sunrise exactly.

The Intihuatana, the most enigmatic lithic piece in Cusco. It is a sculpted sundial in one piece, in which the Incas accurately measured the weather.

If you plan to plan a trip to Machu Picchu from Spain, Incas Peru offers you organized trips that are tailored to your preferences and tastes.

Note: Several Hollywood movies have been filmed in Cusco, among which is Indiana Jones: In Search of the Lost Ark.

Lake Titicaca in Puno is one of the essentials on any trip to Peru. Why?

Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world and is located at 3,800 meters above sea level. Its blue and very calm waters are easily confused with the beautiful sky of the city. A trip to heavenly paradise!

Likewise, you can experience experiential or rural tourism in the famous floating islands, which are made from totora (a typical aquatic plant of the area):

To get to the islands of Uros, Taquile and Amantaní -the most famous of the place- you have to travel by boat for approximately 2 hours. These islands are inhabited by ancient descendants of the Aymara, where families have built their own houses, markets, and schools on totora.

These communities demonstrate their deep roots in their ancestral culture, with their native languages, clothing, dances, typical foods and way of life in general. Likewise, they live from fishing, handicrafts and still do trade through barter (exchange that was carried out in Inca times).

What's more, your experience can end with an offering to Mother Earth, which the inhabitants will show you.

For those who prefer the warm and festive Coast of Peru, the Huacachina Oasis is perfect. This is the only natural oasis on the continent located in the city of Ica.

This is another of the cities of Peru that invites you to experience indescribable sensations with a sunset in the desert that fills you with energy; besides living adventures practicing sandboard or enjoying in the tubular cars through the dunes.

On the other hand, the emerald water of Huacachina is considered by many inhabitants as medicinal, which is fed by underground currents and is surrounded by beautiful palm trees. Even the emotions will also be transferred to your palate, since Ica is very famous for being the home of pisco and exquisite stews.

A charm and mystery that transports you to other times!

Iquitos is an access road to the Peruvian jungle, where you can only get there by plane or boat. It is a city covered with a green blanket and majestic mighty rivers, which offer you an impressive experience.

It is a wonder full of flora and fauna, where an infinity of species coexist in their natural habitat: reptiles, bears, monkeys, cats, birds and other species. Here you can also do ecological and experiential tourism, experiencing sensations when having close contact with nature and interacting with wild animals.

Chachani is a volcanic group in southern Peru, 22 kilometres (14 mi) northwest of the city of Arequipa. Part of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, it is 6,057 metres (19,872 ft) above sea level. It consists of several lava domes and individual volcanoes such as Nocarane, along with lava shields such as the Airport Domes. Underneath Chachani lies a caldera. During the Pliocene and early Pleistocene, the volcanic group produced large ignimbrites such as the La Joya, Arequipa Airport and Yura Tuff ignimbrites; afterwards the volcanic group proper grew in the caldera until about 56,500 years ago. There have not been any eruptions during historical time, but the volcano is considered to be only dormant and due to its closeness to the city of Arequipa is considered high risk.
