The world's largest and most diversified rainforest is a paradise for nature lovers. Here it seems another world, impressive and fascinating where everything is gigantic, an explosion of colors, smells, and unknown sounds, in short, we are in another planet.
The Catador, which is the name of this vineyard, has passed through the hands of 5 different generations. Over the years they have had to work to balance the tension between keeping tradition alive and incorporating new technology to produce enough wine. This whole process is completely handmade and is part of the Inca tradition. Different types of grapes grow here, including Quebranta, Criolla Negra, Mollar, Uvina, Torontel, Moscatel and Italy, which are the most popular.
Machu Picchu is one of the 7 Wonders of the World and any trip to Peru must include your visit. This citadel impresses anyone, not only for its buildings, which can still be perceived, but for its incredible location. Machu Picchu is between mountains, almost 2500 meters above sea level, and one is not able to imagine how such a huge construction could be completed in such an inhospitable place. In addition, Machu Picchu emanates a special energy and we recommend you visit it first thing in the morning, especially at dawn, when you will have it practically for yourself. The sunrise in Machu Picchu can become the star of your trip to Peru and you should not miss it.
The city of Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca empire, is undoubtedly one of the most important destinations in the country. Cusco offers beautiful landscapes and approach to the magnificent past of the Inca culture. It is true. But, also, it gives us emotions. For those who love the quiet adventure or the adrenaline shock, Cusco is the precise destination.
Coca leaf tea for preventing altitude sickness in Cusco in Peru! More importantly, though Coca leaves are indeed the basic ingredient for cocaine, they are NOT in any way addictive (unless you were to consume them by the ton!) Or bad for your health. A good analogy is that coca leaves are to cocaine what poppies are to heroin.
The Hacienda San José was built at the end of the 17th century, it used to be one of the main haciendas along the Peruvian coast, not because of the important production of sugar cane but also because of the number of slaves who worked there and who converted it in one of the most prosperous lands of the time. These days it is used as a tourist hotel, where many stories and vestiges show how Afro-Peruvian immigrants used to live in this part of Peru. However, in all honesty it is not what is in the farm or what is around it that makes it so interesting, it is what is underneath that makes it simply amazing!
Peruvian cuisine is a symbol of pride for each of its inhabitants. It is one of the most extensive and exquisite in the world without a doubt. Every day, representatives of our kitchen create new techniques and variations of dishes that definitely delight the palate of their lucky guests. A country blessed with a privileged kitchen, which costs a lot to decide which one is better than another. However, there are 20 typical dishes of Peru that you should not stop eating:
In the city of Casma, Playa Tortugas is bathed by transparent and calm waters that allow you to participate in various nautical activities such as swimming, fishing or diving, providing the opportunity to observe the particular sea turtles, which are often present in the warm and pleasant waters of the Tortugas beach, hence its name.
I am sure that it is the most common question we ask ourselves when traveling to Peru, because we are looking for economic options or alternatives to go from Jorge Chavez International Airport to the city center and other districts of the capital of Peru. And vice versa.
