"Peru is full of diverse and unique travel experiences, and we are delighted to see that these experiences are recognized among the best in the world," says Marisol Acosta, Director of Tourism at PROMPERÚ. "From the cultural and historical importance of Machu Picchu, high in the Andes, even the wild beauty of the Amazon rainforest, Peru is full of adventures and breathtaking places. "
 
Built throughout the fifteenth century, the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu was hidden for many years. In the early twentieth century, the American explorer and archaeologist Hiram Bingham "re-discovered" the site and, since then, has been carefully restored and preserved for future generations. Tourists who walk along the Inca Trail, or those who arrive by train to the site, are impressed by the incredible views, history and overwhelming serenity of the citadel.
