Attractions in Peru
Peru's nature is worth a detour: In addition to beautiful coastal landscapes, mountainous land in the Andes and jungle, it has a lot to offer. With a total of 12 national parks, intensive efforts are being made to protect and preserve nature. The history of Peru invites you to visit historic cities and get to know the culture.
Culture and Inca Sites

The Empire of the Incas existed until the conquest of the Spaniards in 1532. Despite the efforts of the Spaniards to suppress and destroy the relics from ancient times as far as possible, there are some well-preserved sites. On a hike in the Andes, in the footsteps of the Inca, beautiful places can be visited. The Inca paths are up to 5000 meters high and connected to the Inca Empire at the time. A well-known relic from this period is the very well-preserved ruined city of Machu Picchu, which lies at an altitude of 2360 meters and is surrounded by the jungle. Machu Picchu was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983.
The Nazca Lines are also worth mentioning. These are traces in the Nazca desert, they were scraped into the desert sand about 2000 years ago and are best seen from the air. They are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
