South & Central America

From the spectacular Inca ruins of Machu Picchu and the shimmering waters of Lake Titicaca to the lush rainforest of the Amazon basin, the huge diversity of Peru’s attractions will never cease to enchant and enthuse the visitor. From a natural history perspective this country still has so much to offer as so much of its vast swathes of jungle still remain unexplored whilst much of the mighty Andes range has yet to reveal all its secrets.

Culturally Peru is the richest and most important of all South American countries boasting a well documented and fascinating history dating from Pre-Columbian times through the remarkable Incan empire to the Spanish colonisation and the present day.

On account of its extraordinary range of habitats, Peru’s natural flora and fauna is arguably the most diverse on the planet with a staggering variety of wildlife living within its oceans, mountains and jungles.
