With so much to see and do, a trip to Peru could last a lifetime, but we select the best to make it round.

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 second city of barro del mundo, chan chan and los chimú

Chachapoyas, mochicas, lambayeque-sicán ... and we still had one more culture to discover in the #LatTrip before arriving in Lima: the Chimú or Chimor Culture. In Trujillo we visited what was its capital: Chan Chan, the largest mud city in the world at the time - and now occupies the second place behind Bam, in Iran. At its peak it occupied an area of 22 km2 and had a population of between 60,000 and 300,000 inhabitants - archaeologists disagree on this point. Again, even more in this case, we decided that going through adobe avenues without an explanation would not be the best way to get to know this great culture and we opted for a guided tour.

Lambayeque culture, sicán national museum

Do you know the Lambayeque or Sicán culture? It doesn't sound to you, right? We had never heard of her until she reached Chiclayo. It was one of the great civilizations that developed on the current north coast of Peru and that have amazed and continue to amaze archaeologists and those who, like us, discover them as they pass through the country. Vicús, Moche, Lambayeque and Chimú were some of these advanced cultures that inhabited this area for about 3000 years but which most of the common people know little about. Why? Because later came the Incas, the famous Incas. A civilization that developed over a hundred years and whose fame hides / hides millennia of development from other great peoples.

Latin America: Lima, The Culinary Revolution 2.0

The night touches almost the dawn on the terrace of the Osso restaurant, where the gin-tonics try to appease the impressive feast that we just hit in the best meat place in Peru and, perhaps, one of the best in the world. “What are you going to do tomorrow?” Rafa asks me, “I pass by you at 10 in the morning. Let's eat some things. ” In addition to being a close friend and proud amateur chef, Rafael Roselló is the operations manager of Quintessentially in Latin America, a company dedicated to giving access, among other things, to the most outstanding restaurants on the planet.

Paracas national reserve

The Paracas National Reserve consists of the Paracas Peninsula, coastal areas and tropical deserts. It provides a sanctuary of more than 74 species of plants that grows in this extremely arid area, and 216 species of birds, 16 types of mammals, 10 species of reptiles and 193 species of fish. The marine protected area covers about 3350 square meters, 65% is sea and 35% is land and islands. It is considered as one of the richest and uncommon ecosystems in the world.
