On these pages you will find ideas for a trip to Peru to help you prepare for your trip. All these ideas are there just to get your imagination going; you can alter, mix and match them as you please. Your local agent will help you create a unique and unforgettable trip, just for you! Peru has three distinct parts, each with its own character: the Pacific coast, which is the most densely populated; the Andes range, with the highest mountain being the towering Huascarán at 6,768 metres; and the Amazon, which covers the largest part of the country. If you’re going, start with the must-see: Machu Picchu – fortunately not found by the Conquistadors – rediscovered in 1911. You should visit it at dawn to see the ruins shrouded in mist. This extraordinary site still clasps a few secrets to its bosom. Not far away, the Andes range draw ramblers and trekkers to magnificent landscapes. The ultimate rambling experience is the Inca Trail through exceptional archaeological sites. During your stay in Peru, you must stop in Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire. The Spanish erected their buildings, especially religious ones, over Inca constructions which they systematically destroyed, only sparing their characteristic foundations, which are still visible today with their large, perfectly cut and fitted stones. A voyage out of time awaits you in Cusco.

180 ml south of Oruro city in the department of Oruro and very close to the village of Salinas de Garci Mendoza, is the Alcaya archeological site, a real open-air museum . Here you find remains dating from the pre-Colombian era that belonged to the Chullpa Indians, one of the most ancient people of the Andes.
The Alcaya Archeological Museum site is divided into 3 parts. Our guide first takes us into the mountains that shelter the houses in which the Chullpa lived. Next we go down a rocky slope to discover the remnants of terrace farms where the Indians long ago grew fruit and vegetables to feed their community. Finally, the last part is the most moving: inside small underground caves, mummies (and not skeletons!) in an incredible state of preservation seem to have been sleeping for centuries. Around the mummies, you find ceramics, tools and their everyday objects.
Hard not to be emotional in the face of the deceased huddled up since time immemorial. I will remember this emotionally charged moment of my <a href="/bolivia/"> trip to Bolivia </a>.
