We Are Pleased To Announce...
... the addition of Peru to our trusted advice & recommendations at On The Road Travel. Not only is this Veronica and Andrea's homeland, it is also a country that is rich in culture, nature, and history.
Peru has undergone a transformation from its backpacker days, and is now beckoning On The Road Travelers with its beautifully-designed hotels and internationally renowned cuisine. Here are a few highlights:
A Guide to Visiting Machu Picchu
It's hard to believe that the most significant remnant of the Inca culture stayed hidden from the modern world right up until 1911. In fact, Hiram Bingham himself merely stumbled upon it during his quest to locate Vitcos (Vilcabamba), the final refuge of the Incas during the Spanish conquest. These extraordinary ruins are in the running to become one of the new Wonders of the World later this month. Find out everything you need to know to visit them with our Guide to Visiting Machu Picchu.
The Path Less Traveled
Fame and stardom always has its drawbacks. In Machu Picchu's case, this comes in the form of tourist crowds. It is no surprise that Peru's hidden gems are the less developed trails in the Sacred Valley.
Fear not, you'll still get the same outstanding vistas and have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture of local Andean communities. Check out some of our recommended guides who run trips to the area.
Chill Out Along The Coast
Peru's coast is the perfect place to take in the Pacific breeze and relax in a tropical setting. Catch a wave at Pico alto (boasting one of the biggest waves in South America) or take some lessons from Peru's top surf school. Soar over the mysterious Nazca Lines before settling in to a rustic ecolodge for the night. Whatever you do, be sure to satiate your gastronomic cravings with some of Lima's outstanding restaurants.
