Some tourist travel tips for Peru
Peru is one of the most famous centers of ancient civilizations in the world. Among the sights in the country, you will find some really impressive natural wonders. The Andy mountain range occupies the western part of the country, and the eastern part covers parts of the Amazon lowlands. Here are some of the most interesting cultural, historical and natural attractions in Peru that everyone should visit at least once.
Huacachina
Huacachina is an oasis town located near Ica around a small natural lake surrounded by sand dunes. Once this modern oasis was intended only for the Peruvian elite, but today Huacachina is a tourist destination primarily for foreign tourists. One of the biggest attractions for visitors is the opportunity to ride surfboards, boards and buggies on the sand dunes around.
Mancora
Located on the north coast of the country, Mancora is a small town where you can find some of the most beautiful beaches in Peru, stretching for miles along the Pacific coast. The city also offers its visitors great hotels, nightclubs and restaurants. The ocean waves are great for surfing and make Mancora a favorite destination for fans of this sport.
Iquitos
According to people familiar with the Amazon jungle in Peru is a much better destination for travelers than the Brazilian equatorial forest around Manaus, as the animal species are relatively the same, but the Peruvian jungle is in better condition. Iquitos is the best place to start your Amazon boat tour. Iquitos is the largest city in the world, which you can not reach by land.
The Nazca lines
The Nazca lines are located between the cities of Nazca and Palpa. They were created between 200 BC. and 700 AD. The figures are varied – some are simple straight lines, and others – stylized spiders, monkeys, fish, llamas, lizards and humans. The images are huge. They were discovered in 1920 when Peruvian airlines began flying from Lima to Arequipa. Nazca hotels and tour operators offer tours of the area by plane.
