Best Adventure in Peru

Local Recommendations from our My Guide Peru team

Peru is regarded as the birthplace of ancient civilizations, but its topography still makes it an adventurer's paradise. The snowy mountain tops of the Andes entice trekkers and hikers, the untamed desert coast is lapped by excellent waves for surfers, and the Amazon – a huge mass of wetlands and rainforest teeming with apes, macaws, and slinky, exotic felines – entices explorers. Prepare for a crazy trip to Peru!
