Peru

The Andes, the Inca world and a great kitchen

Peru is the archaeological heart of South America and, increasingly, its culinary capital. Most itineraries turn around Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, but the country rewards travellers who stay longer: the white colonial city of Arequipa and the condors of Colca, the floating reed islands of Lake Titicaca, the desert oasis of Huacachina, and the pre-Inca lines at Nazca. Lima anchors the coast with a restaurant scene that regularly appears on the world's best lists, alongside Barranco's street art and superb seafood markets. Altitude, seasonality and permit systems make Peru a destination where good local operators genuinely matter.
