Continuing the series of holiday destinations in South America we are pleased to publish this introduction to Peru.

Like most Latin American countries, Peru is geographically diverse and has a fascinating history, many impressive archaeological findings and ancient monuments which never fail to intrigue tourists.

Peru’s vast surface area is divided into three main regions which range from the depths of the Amazon rainforest to the arid plains of the Pacific Coast and the peaks of the Andes Mountain range.

Most European tourists who travel to South America make Peru one of their first stops. Here they can see several UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Machu Picchu, The city of Cuzco and The Huascaran National Park.

Peru is also a great destination for those who want to get in touch with nature as Peru is famous for its wildlife sanctuaries. Why not try adventure sports or spend a couple of days at a beach resort to relax after trekking around the country. Peru has something for everyone.

Peru has three main international airports; the most important is Jorge Chávez International Airport which is located west of Lima. Plan your trip to Peru by booking cheap flights to one of the international airports and then book a domestic flight with LAN Peru to the area you would like to visit.
