Peru, the centre of the Inca Empire, preserves a number of traces of this civilization that used to occupy a vast territory beside the Pacific Ocean extending into lands we now know as the countries of Colombia and Chile.

The best-known and most spectacular Inca site is definitely Machu Picchu, a city perched in the mountains northwest of the former capital Cuzco.Beyond this unique treasure, Peru offers a whole panoply of other attractions: Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable body of water in the world, with its floating islands and hamlets with extraordinary customs; the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest on the whole planet; markets featuring colourful Andean handicrafts, and the current capital, Lima, which is riding the wave of gourmet renewal.
