PERU TRAVEL INFO

Peru conjures up images of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, but there's much more to see. Besides archaeological sites, there are several natural treasures, including the world's deepest canyons and the highest navigable lake. Peru is also a racial melting pot, a mix of indigenous peoples, mestizos, and African, Chinese, and Japanese migrants, whose profound cultural influence is everywhere..

 

 

☼ LIMA TOP ATTRACTIONS

Among the most popular and recommended LIMAs tours are those that take visitors on a boat ride to the floating Uros Islands. These islands are literally made from the tortora reed, crafted as such for thousands of years by the native people that inhabit them. On the Uros Islands, you can shop for crafts from the local people, however you should take care if you wish to photograph them, as is true with most native peoples. It is often customary to offer a monetary offering of some sort if you wish to take direct pictures. If you have the chance, you might consider taking one of the LIMA tours that visits the Uros Islands and Taquile Island. The sailing part of the trip will last a few hours, as Lake Titicaca is larger than the country of Switzerland, and the experience of sailing out on it is almost too much to take in, especially if you find yourself on the tour on a whim. You almost have to pinch yourself a couple times to verify that you are not dreaming. When you get to Taquile Island, you must climb a lengthy set of high-rising steps that take you to the top of the island, and yes, the views are stunning. You can tour the island by yourself, and if you are lucky, the native people will be celebrating a special event or festival. It is something to see these people in their colorful clothes, singing and dancing their way about as if you were not there at all. Seeing the ancient Sillustani Burial Towers that were built along the shores of Lake Titicaca is another one of the possible LIMA tours.

 

☼ LIMA HOTELS

Prices listed below are in US$ and are per room, not per person. Overseas tourists are exempt from paying the 19% sales tax which is usually included in the price of the room. However, in order to obtain this discount you will be asked to provide a photocopy of your passport and entrance stamp. A hotel has a restaurant while a hostal doesn't. Apart from that there is very little difference. The prices in this web site are to be used as a guide only. Please check current prices with the hotel when enquiring about room availability. A singe room is known as a "simple", a room with two single beds is known as a "doble" and a room with one large double bed for two people is known as a "matrimonial".
