The Tourism in Peru has increased dramatically in the last few years, especially ever since Machu Picchu was named a natural world wonder. Thousands of tourists are flocking every year to take majestic photographs of the ancient Inca citadel, walk its steep steps and touch the Incan city; it’s so popular that transport to Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes (the town at the bottom of Machu Picchu where you will spend a night before going up) is going a constant rate throughout the days and it’s still not enough to get all visitors to this destination. It’s best to have an agency reserve your train and bus tickets instead of reaching Peru and then trying to acquire them in some way; it can and would most likely be very difficult for you to get these tickets when you are already in Peru.
Cusco and Machu Picchu are without a doubt the biggest attraction in Peru; however there are other places with are teaming with tourists as well. Peru offers many great locations for all sorts of travelers looking to have and adventure tour, a relaxing Peru vacation or a culturally fulfilling trip with friends and family.
The Nazca lines have also been a much visited spot by tourists from all over the world. It’s amazing how these huge lines are drawn in this desert with such precision, the only way to see the humanoid, animal and plant figures is of course to fly over them. Chartering a plane is something an agency should take care of since the demand for flying over the lines is immense and should not be taken lightly if you are truly serious about visiting the lines.
The Amazon has its appeal among travelers as well, every year visitors from all over the world arrive in Lima and immediately go to the Amazon. It’s a mysterious region where you can take river boat cruises, unique canopy walks, go wildlife spotting, bird watching, adventure trekking and do many other interesting activities.
