Peru is located on the west side of South America and just south of the Equator. It is the third largest country in South America, after Brazil and Argentina, and is a country of jungle, mountain, and coast. These three types of terrain form a megadiverse climate and geography.

Peru has two seasons, the wet from January to March and the dry from April to December. If you want to visit the Andean area, I recommend the dry season and if you want to go surfing and enjoy our summer in the coastal region, I recommend the wet season.

What makes Peru special?

Peru is a country of natural and cultural treasures with a strong touch of mystery and spirituality. So many things make Peru special and a wonderful place to visit.

Our History. In Peru, you will enjoy an incredible amount of interesting history easily accessible to any traveler. Wherever you are, visiting a museum, walking around a town or village, or hiking to one of the hidden Inca ruins, you will always be surrounded by the strong presence of history and its cultural influences.

Our People & Traditions. Normally, when we are traveling It is always so interesting to meet new people and to experiment with new cultures, but in Peru, you will feel this act of “meeting” even more interesting because Peruvians, love to share what we are, how we feel and what we do.

Our culture is a mix of Spanish, Indigenous, Asian, and African influences. We can say that our Peruvian identity has been formed through the combination of customs, races, and traditions. Most Peruvians still have a direct link with their Inca ancestors, and we are proudly conserving the Quechua and Aymara cultures.

In Peru we have about 3,000 popular festivals a year, keeping alive the legacy of our millenary culture. So, when you visit Peru on days that we have a festival, you can be sure that you will take part in the party! The whole family can enjoy the street dancers, colorful costumes, our rich Peruvian music, and our good food as well.

Also, when you visit the villages or markets, you always will see women weaving these exquisite patterns in their textiles, maybe artisans carving wood, or making jewelry, people playing music, painting canvas, etc. Peru offers a variety of beautiful artisanal crafts, where history, culture, art, and talent, are all in one.”
