It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean.

The first human settlements in Peru began as early as the 32nd century BC and were known as the Norte Chico civilization. Norte Chico civilization is regarded as one of the five cradles of human civilization. After the Spanish invaded the country in the 16th century what ensued was a tumultuous struggle for Peru for independence which it finally gained in 1821. The capital of Peru is Lima.

Here are a few recommendations to look for in Peru travel packages: -
- Machu Picchu:
This UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World is perhaps the best known Peruvian landmark. Machu Picchu means ‘ancient mountains’ in the Quechuan language. Surrounded by the Urubamba River, this ancient Incan city sits majestically atop a ridge and is the top attraction in Peru tour packages from India. It can either be explored via the 26-mile (43 kilometres) Inca Trail hike or via a train from Cusco. Whatever be your mode, we guarantee that you will be amazed by the journey to the top. Steep valleys, lush forests line the trail that the ancient Incans used to take. As spellbinding as the ruins itself, the breathtaking views from the top are unparalleled and visitors can’t seem to have enough on their Peru vacation packages. Hiram Bingham is believed to have discovered the site in 1911. - The Inca Trail:
The Inca Trail is like the ultimate trophy for hikers all around the world who arrive here through Peru trip packages. It usually takes four days to complete this 26-mile (43 kilometres) path. The usual starting point for the hike is km 82 of the Cusco - Aguas Calientes rail line. No doubt it is a challenging part but it also a part of the charm. As you cross numerous ruins, jungles, steep ascends and jaw-dropping scenery extends to as far as your sight can go. - Cusco:
Nestled amidst the Andes Mountains, Cusco is yet another must-visit Peru sightseeing destination. Walking through the streets of Cusco is like starring in a silent-era movie with gems upon gems of architectural marvels fleeting by. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the speciality of this city is that the present has been built on the foundations of the future and quite literally. Many of the old colonial buildings were built upon ancient Incan ruins. It is said Cusco lives in its streets with every nook and corner teasing visitors with reflections of a glorious past. The town square is Plaza de Armas where two of Cusco’s major attractions are located-the Cathedral and La Compania. - Lake Titicaca:
On the way to Lake Titicaca, the moment you have the first glimpse of the emerald waters of the lake, you are hooked. Not only is this lake the highest navigable lake in the world, but it also has one of the most picturesque surroundings and is a great inclusion in Peru holiday packages. Do not forget to visit the Uros Floating Islands (Islas Flotantes) which are manmade islands made of reed. The islands are inhabited by Uros Indians who have lived more or less the same way since the Incans. - Nazca Lines in Ica:
Mystery enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists throng here to have a look at the Nazca lines on packages for Peru tours. The Nazca Lines are humongous 70 different plant and animal drawings on the desert floor and are so huge that they are visible only aerially. The exact origins of these lines are not known but that doesn’t stop tourists from getting attracted to them. While here, try visiting the Cemetery of Chauchilla, which contains Nazca remains and mummies. - Puerto Maldonado and the Amazon:
Peru holiday packages from India are incomplete without visiting the Amazon to understand why Peru is regarded as one of the world’s most ecologically diverse countries. Puerto Maldonado serves as the gateway for Amazon tours which includes some of the most spectacular variety of wildlife in the world. Stay a couple of days or weeks, there isn’t enough time to explore the jungles fully. Reserva Nacional Tambopata and the Parque Nacional Bahuaja Sonene are the main attractions here.
