Peru has a rich ancient history. From early settlers to the Inca Empire, cultures like Chavín, Moche, and Nasca thrived. The Incas unified much of South America, building wonders like Machu Picchu. Spanish conquest began in 1532, followed by the Viceroyalty. Independence came in 1821. Since then, Peru has faced wars, dictatorships, and major changes. Today, it blends ancestral heritage with modern life.
Peru is a land of contrasts: arid coast, majestic Andes, and lush Amazon jungle. This diverse geography creates a wide range of climates—from dry along the coast, temperate in the Andes, to tropical in the rainforest. Each region offers unique landscapes and year-round travel experiences.
Peru has excellent nationwide mobile coverage. With over 43 million active lines, the main providers offer calls, messaging, and data services even in rural areas and remote tourist destinations. Staying connected while traveling is easy and affordable.
Citizens of most countries in the Americas and Western Europe do not require a visa to enter Peru. Visitors from Bolivia, Ecuador, and Chile may enter with their national identity document in certain regions. The authorized stay is 90 days and may be extended. Check with the Peruvian embassy or consulate in your country to confirm specific requirements.

Ancestral cuisine and Andean weaving in a rural community
This 6-hour activity begins in Ollantaytambo and is divided into two very authentic activities: a weaving demonstration and a lunch experience in an earth oven.
The tour begins by following a river, passing by small farms, Inca agricultural terraces, rarely visited ruins, a colonial church, and breathtaking mountain views on the way to the rural community. There, together with the community, you will prepare the pachamanca and participate in the Andean weaving and dyeing demonstration.
